Trying to make a website...
 

right....

i had a ton of photos on my drive that could help people out online. so ive thrown together my first attempt at a website - its only a simple site, im yet to link to the bigger pics, but check it out - especially if u have a cen funfactor. i think ive done this right..... let me know if its working ok too pls.

it should be just [link=http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robert.palmer97/Personal%20Web%20Page.htm]here[/link]

cheers guys - hope this helps.

well done thats a cool website ,specially all the details parts ,pics ,nice shell ,does it fit with t-maxx
wheels , a bit of cutting needed i imagine, id like to change engine to O.S. like yours ,will i be able to get my original pinion gears to mount that crank , its the 2 speed unit.
nice site thou.

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

cheers - good to know that it just works - its all a bit new to me...

i just swapped my cen clutch over onto the os engine, no probs.

dont know about the shell fitting with the wheels yet, when i offered it up roughly in place it looked like a lot of cutting was required. i dont want to chop that shell up really, so i may well go for a electric stadium truck shell, or a different take on the schlesser body.

poor judgement... great site... I'm impressed... Keep it up.

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

None of pictures loaded for me. :(

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

I had the same problem at first... Hit refresh and wait a bit.. just slow to load...

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

ah, bit slow eh? thatll be those fading gifs at the top i think... i will see if i can figure out how to get rid of em without losin the lot....ha...

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

Not sure what happened to my link. Got it at first no problem but without the pictures, then tried again using the link but it wouldn't load so I typed in the page address directly and it came up as "page can not be displayed". Just not my day I guess![:o]

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

ive just been having a fiddle with it, try this link [link=http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robert.palmer97/CEN%20Test%20Pages/Personal%20Web%20Page.htm]here[/link]

PJ,
It looks good. the first link didn't work but the second works great. Nice site. Will we see a MT2?

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

Same for me mate, all loaded really quick. The site looks brilliant, totally informative, great pics and good layout. Top marks.

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

nice one, cheers for the feedback guys. it must have been the gif files i put at the top - very pretty but 4.5mb each - oops i missed that... sorted now tho

like i said, i will try to link all the pics to the full size ones. i had a nightmare finding out all the stuff that i have put up on the site, i sure wish i had had one i could just breeze thru - lol, just gotta figure out how to update it without too much messin about now.

yea its all gonna evolve into a kinda mt2, maybe build up the rally on the centre diff chassis, but with 1/8 buggy wheels as i have nearly all the other bits. the jt chassis would work better as a mt, i think. i would need another engine tho... hmmm what to do, eh...?

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

I have been toying with the idea of getting a new engine. Reckon I will go for the new nt3.0 and put that in the JT, build up the second chassis and reunite it with the old nt.16 and flog the o.s. .15cvr because I am sick of lugging that damn starter box round. Got to phone Irvine tomorrow to find out availability of the nt3.0. Wish me luck!

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

id be tempted to look abroad for an engine tbh - tower hobbies in the US, or some company in honk kong perhaps.

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

The engines are amazingly cheap over in the States but the last three things I have had sent over have been spotted by customs and I have been hit with the added charges. Apparently you are less likely to be taxed by customs when it arrives from Hong Kong. Not really sure why that is though.

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

right - pics are now clickable, although it doesnt show the finger cursor for some reason, sorry some pics are small, i accidentally overwrote some big pics with my cams helpful email/thumbnail mode.... but some are quite big.

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

hey man, nice site, i saw it last night. very nicely done. Gotta give you props. IF you have any futher question/inquires, give us a call at any time.

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

Judgement, the last picture I see on your page you are taking measurements of the front driveshaft CVD (whatever they are called). Are you trying to find out if there are any compatible non-CEN replacements?

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

oh yea, i forgot to mention that on the site.

i found these [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGPE8&P=7]shafts[/link] on tower hobbies site. the cen shafts are listed as 88mm, iirc, so i was after the dimensions that i have shown on my site, but from the hpi shafts, not the cen, to see if the shafts would work.

i hope that makes sense there mate... i figured it was worth a shot asking, as i have no decent lhs here to go and browse around. trouble is, u try asking a hpi owner for help when u have got a cen...

anyway -if anyone can give me the dimensions of that shaft, as indicated on my site, i would appreciate it

cheers for pointing it out sschuler:D

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

I am right there with you. No LHS carries CEN. I luv the truck, but I hate waiting for parts. If I could find a substitue, I would be thrilled! It seems like CEN is the only brand I can't find... ugh

RE: Trying to make a website...
 

It doesn't look like that one includes a threaded shaft for the wheel to connect to. Is that something that you have to order? I know I should ask someone else that question. I wish a savage owner would help. Wishful thinking
