I saw those, but the guy wants to make his $$ on the S/H

The funny thing is that we're both in FL and S/H could be done away with if he'd let me pick them up. Some people are so hard headed...:(

I got mine pretty quickly since I live only a few hours from him so I wouldnt worry. One thing you'll prob want to do when you get the NR is change the back tires. They are pretty hard and when run on a kitchen floor in turbo-mode you tend to just do doughnuts. I put on the slick tires from the F&F kit on it and it now will maintain it's direction when I launch into turbo. I'm currently adding on a AC/DC jack to the controller so I dont have to rely on batteries.

I also ordered from the baseball guy and expect them (4) today. Can't Wait!!! If they do arrive today, it only took 6 days to get. Not too shabby, but the shipping was pretty cheap, so I can't complain. Getting the tracking info is pretty sweet. I Never realized how detail UPS' site was.

JTM 01-16-2003 02:47 PM

nmine were sent out on the 14th and i ordered on the 9th, expected to arrive on the 21st :( I wANT IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOW lol... now i need some tanks zip zaps a submarine some wild char-g and a semi truck. and i think illbe happy lol

Got my four new Nak's today as predicted by UPS. Haven't had a chance to play with then. I'm a little upset with them though. I was hoping the PCB's were the same size as the MS's. I guess you can't have turbo and eat it too. Rims are VERY sweet. Does anyone know if the MS turbo's PCB have stayed the same size?

binaryterror 01-16-2003 04:59 PM

I am going to assume the MS turbo is the same as a Bit Booster.

So its the same size board.


**This is only speculation**

Stridex 01-16-2003 05:50 PM

Welp, I got to try one of my Nak's out. Very dissapointed! The bodies and rims are very nice. The performance stinks on the one I'm trying. Speed is "almost" as bad as a stock ZipZap. I can't even get it to go straight. Constantly wants to do right donuts. I'll give another one a go tomorrow. I pray the rest aren't like this one. When I "finally" get it to sit on the charger, it's not wanting to charge. Light goes on and then right back off. May be the batteries though. I'll try again with new ones.

MST3KPIMP 01-16-2003 07:31 PM

funny your getting that 'light on/off' thing as I had this happen to me when I tried powering the transmitter/charger with a 4.5v 300mah adapter.. Apparently there was'nt enough mah and the charger would disengage. thinking the power was insufficent. I upgraded to a 500mah adaptor and it's fine.. R you using ni-cads or weak batteries? if your speed is comparible to a zip zap then something is very wrong. mine is so fast in turbo mode it makes me laugh. As for doughnuts you really need to put on softer tires on the back if you got em.

Aaronmamo 01-16-2003 08:12 PM

This is kinda offtopic, but what does Payaso mean. IS it a clwn or something. When I see the word payaso there is always a clown. I think I am going to buy some of those homie guys, those are funny. What supermarjet did you get them from? thanks

Put in brand new AAA's and it charged this time, but I still wasn't impressed with the speed. My A/C charger pooped out on me so I couldn't try that method. I'm going to open another one. Hopefully I have the same results you did. I'll keep you posted.

EDIT:
Ok, just tried a second car. Now I see what you mean. Turbo is rather fast. But, even this car donuts to the right. Well...it's not even a donut. It's like it's sitting evenly on a pin and just doing a perfect 360. Never seen anything like it. The really bad part is these are a bugger to get in and out of. I'm almost guaranteed to break a steering wire trying to fix this problem. For the rims alone though, it was worth the $11 I paid for each of them. Even though I asked the guy for all four different bodies and he only sent me three, two of the same kind.
