hi ian
looking forward to the updates hopefully it wont be to long before you get your wheels
i won a rc motorbike at the begining of feb and im still waiting[sm=cry_smile.gif]

Ian78

Nearly a monthwhat have you said to them?

dust75

hi ian
when we asked where it was they said it should be here by today
this morning postie arrived with a box and guess what it turned up
it was posted 2 days ago so bad feedback is going there way [sm=lol.gif]

when did you order your wheels ?

Ian78

They were ordered on Tuesday Dus. They were marked as sent so with any luck they will arrive tomorrow.

Has your seller left you feedback yet?

dust75

hi ian

hopefully they will arrive by the weekend and then you can have a good run with them
have you managed to get the hubs sorted on both cars?

yeah the seller has left good feedback
the bike is called a super stunt gyrocycle made by supertoys in china
from the way the bike is i would say its a 2 person job just to get it running
it says on the transmitter that the steering is oppersite when stationary to that selected "counter balance steering"
then you have to push forward on the transmitter then nudge the bike forward
the only problem is its a bit to fast to use it the frontroom
so it will wait untill im not so busy then we can see what its like
but i like it so far

Ian78

Haven't done both cars yet as wanted to sort one first so knew if it went well or not.
Chosen possibly boring coloured wheels but wanted 1st set to go with any shell.

Motorbike sounds like fun, I'll google that and see what it's all about.
Have you left them feedback now?
Did you ask them why it took so long?

Thanks for your help and advice with the 12mm hubs and wheels.
Well took a couple of pics.

dust75

hi ian
well what can i say about your wheels
WOW
it makes the car look so different
i really do like the red to purple the wheels set it off
so what are your thoughts about the hub conversion
did you think was it hard was it worth doing will you be doing it again

Ian78

Thanks Dus that's realy good to know that they look good, they sort of very neutral design and colour that should go with any shell.
Will be dong the same again to the other car yes

Ian78

Is it anything like this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Radio-Controll...item335a5b4b1d

dust75

hi ian
do you notice any differance between the car before all the upgrades and the car now

dust75

hi ian
yes its the very same one only mine was cheaper [sm=lol.gif]
this one is cheaper but the postage is way to high

Ian78

Notice any difference in the cars? > my wallet has

Including all the parts and the donor car for cogs and parts... must have spent a lot.

Need some new cogs now, but the place you told me that is bycmo importer their site wasn't working the last few visits.

The cars have been totally transformed with the mods and don't regret spending money to get them working realy well.

What fun would it have been taking it out the box?

dust75

hi ian
it would of been fun taking it out of the box if i didnt have to charge the battery first [sm=lol.gif]
at least they left the battery in the transmitter [sm=lol.gif]
i tried to run it in the frontroom but there wasnt the space [sm=71_71.gif]

dust75

hi ian
you thanked me earlier but you have no need to thank me
i just hope if anybody asks about bycmo that you can help them out
not that im expecting anybody else to come on the forum under bycmo[sm=lol.gif]
to be honest i was shocked when you came on the forum [sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]

Ian78

The rain has been falling here for the last couple of days, what's it like up near you?
Hopefully you can test it tomorrow
Bet you are pleased it works ok. Have you left them the dreaded bad feeback?

Ian78

If I would sit down and add up the total money spent on these cars including the mags I'd probably frame the things on the wall

I'm surprised nobody else has joined here asking about them to be honest.

dust75

hi ian
we have just got rid of the last bit of snow itwas sunny all day yesterday but it was coldish
its been drizzeling on and off today
yeah im really happy with it
no i havent left them feedback as of yet
to be honest i dont know if i will [sm=lol.gif]
i think we are going to my mum and dads over the weekend (hopefully)
they have a nice smooth driveway and i know my dad loves bikes
so hopefully he will give me a hand to "play" with it [sm=lol.gif]

dust75

hi ian
you cant put a price on something you love[sm=biggrin.gif][sm=lol.gif]

i think most people have either given them away to family members just to get rid
or sold them on ebay or like you were going to do and throw it in the bin
as the gearbox's is the weakest link in the whole car if bycmo had spent more money on the gearbox
and made the gears out of stronger plastic or even made them out of metal
i think it would of been a better car but i have had no problems with my car

Ian78

That's cool Dus that your other half and your Dad show an interest. Let us know how the bike goes
Must admit it has been fun modifying them and making them stronger and reliable.
I'm missing a few teeth on one motor cog and could do with a new set but not sure where to get just the cogs...that UK distributor has got website problems.
It's a bit mean leaving negative feedback but it's all according what their other feedback is...maybe this was a one off.

dust75

hi ian
couldnt you use the black cog while you find a replacement white cog?

Ian78

Both cogs will need changing and with the black cogs the speed is halfed.

dust75

hi ian
isnt half speed better than no speed ?
couldnt you ues the black cog with a white cog and move the motor so the two meet

dust75

hi ian
what gears did you get from the donor car ?

dust75

hi ian
pm sent

Ian78

With the donor car... the latest ebay one, well it had white cogs and an esc, this was the only reason for buying it, to make son's car better.

You can only use the set together as there is a large difference in size.

Only reason they are missingteeth is due to being used on my original car from the mag and not having an esc with a brake.
Might ask my old workplace if they can knock up some alloy ones
