RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

just a quick question. if you dont use electric. what do your servos/controller/glow starter run on? mine are all done manually by a really tiny guy called ronaldo. i just scream "ronaldo! faster and turn left for gods sake!" . my failsafe is called alan

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

Hey! Mine too! Snap! :D

I use gerbil power, it's very effective, you strap a gerbil to a wheel and the friction from the wheel creates a spark which creates fire which creates heat. When I need to turn left, a complex sytem of valves makes the heat pass through a pipe of water, creating steam, as the water turns into steam, the expanding gasses provide the pressure to move a haudralic (sp?) steering system turning the wheels left. I also use curry power but thats a completely different story... :)

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

hows your alan doing? mines getting a bit slow in old age. when ronaldo gets fed up or finishes his shift it usually takes alan a while to realise. his hearts in the right place though. i would fire him but hes got a tiny wife and even tinier kids to feed. ronaldos on holiday here to make money cos the exchange rate is good here so he makes more money.

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

My alan recently made a pact with devil, he traded his eternal soul for a pointy hat, he's about wierd. I'm worried about him though, his VISA runs out in 3 days. He may have to go back to lap-land soon... Jerry the Gerbil's doing fine though, he recently had a triple heart bi-pass after a near fatal accident with a toothpick but he was back up and runnig within hours. I may have to buy some more curry though, I think I'll upgrade to 20% chille this time for the improved performance. Currently I'm using recipes from [link=http://www.curryhouse.co.uk/]this supplier[/link] but I think they're a bit overpriced.

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

LOL, you guys are ate up with it.

By the way, heres some food for thought, I dont see any nitros on this page :D http://www.rccaraction.com/articles/need_speed.asp

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

pretty good. ill use that to threaten ronaldo when he complains im going too fast in broken english. honestly he comes here to take our money and he cant even be bothered lo learn the lingo.

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

(A) Good old British sarcasm.

(B) Electrics give instant torque, nitros rule. It's like Cats vs Dogs. If you want instant gratification you go for a Dog, if you want to work for your reward, you like Cats. remember:

Dogs have owners, Cats have staff...

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

"Mama mia! the car, she goesa too fast! ronaldo hasa a wifa anda kid" i might have to dock his pay untill he learns to shut up

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

those electric cars are slow compared to the 200mph+ nitro tether cars. look for the video on google. not sure of the page

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

[link=http://videos.radiocontrolzone.com/200+mph_nitro_cwl.zip]heres the link[/link]

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

yeah, the tether cars are just stupidly fast. Urr, I'm not sure about alan, he's grown 2 horns and started breathing fire... Maybe that pact with the devil finally got to him... Or the extra chille powder [sm=bananahead.gif].

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

mine just rambles on about the war and how he could go the the cinema for a shilling and still have enough money to grab some shakes at the diner. the only shakes he has now is altzeimers. :D

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

Were talking RC, not tether.

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

technically were talking alan now. jeez keep up. your slower than alan

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

I run both, so I put a check mark on both, I guess I just canciled my self out huh?

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

OH JEEZ! I'm so depressed, alan had to be sent off to hospital! He's turning red! He's even grown a little red tale! Would anyone recommend another failsafe? I was thinking I could borrow one of the plastic doll things off the docotor who series, at least they won't turn red and breathe fire.

How does everyone like the new Doctor Who's? I think your amazing, probably not as good as the old ones though. Technically, tether cars are RC. The drivers have control over the throttle, just not the steering, a bit like control line planes, yet they're still called RC.

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

Arrrgh! Everyone! TERRIBLE NEWS! Alan went on an axe murder rampage and got caught by the police and put in a staright jacket! Heres a pic:

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

thats just creepy. ronaldo has been deported due to him driving without a licence. iv recently recruited another bloke. also called ronaldo. he looks and sounds the same but has a moustache. pretty convenient

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

He He, It's a model I just finished painting - I went a bit over the top with the whole "covering him in blood" thing.

Why is a moustache convenient? The only reason I could think of is that it acts as a fuel filter, filtering out any impurities in the curry power.

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

i meant its convenient that hes called ronaldo and sounds and looks the same. i dont have to remember to yell another name to get it to turn. plus 'staches rock out loud

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

lol, if you like moustaches, you like [link=http://www.led-zeppelin.com/johnbonham/]John Bonham[/link]... That man was the king of moustaches!

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

here are some other cool 'staches. dont say i dont contribute to this site

RE: Electric or Nitro?
 

lol, whos the guy in the middle?

RE: Electric or Nitro?

RE: Electric or Nitro?
