Proud stuff

When i look at it feels like own a hitech super computer gadgets. Feeling big than own a Mercedes Benz. Another new sets of M11 Sanwa and Airtronics 2.4Ghz module. Power to control! Ya i know you wouldn't understand...hehehehe.

God bless our happy evening.

Thank goodnesss no rain happened in that particular area, it does rain heavily a few kilometers away from the office but not at our racing circuit, maybe god bless us with luck and protect us from unlucky disaster...well it is raining seasons. Its just partially wet and we almost drift all the way. Not many people turn up for the race only me and Aki since the rain just drizzle around some unluck area. Another happy evening. Got me 3 packs of battery to last me almost 2 hours of play. It was nice evening with bring orange sunset. Really enjoy the scene and felt relaxed after being stuck in the office for hours.

Hello cute W200i

In the past i like to use expensive bulk symbian hanphone. But i learn one painful lesson, big and expensive with full automated feature are useless because it a phone and to bulk to carry around. This year i keep everthing simple and small in the pocket and yet very cute. I trade my old Nokia Symbian S60 phone to new SONY ERRICSON WALKMAN phone W200i...i did careful servur, internet review and research before i purchase this phone..overall this is definately a fun phone. At cheap price it comes with standard WALKMAN with FM radio, camera plus all sufficient goodies to keep me well prepared for communication and entertainment purpose. Its small size also means very friendly and less hassle to carry especially me being outdoor like biking and jungle adventure without having my pocket bulged and shake around like camel hump back. After all the review for this phone is so positive almost everyone like it very much. Cheap and usefull!

Cure for dead radio range (KYOSHO MINI-Z- MR01)

Recently my MR01 have problem wirh radio range, after drive about 5ft distance the mini-z gone crazy driving on its own, twitching, accelerate by its own, non-responsive and have its mind to wonder around the ground. Its the same effect when you remove the crystal on the receiver PCB. If you look around the internet most people would sent it for warranty or just by new ones. But now worry no more.!!

Yesterday i discovered KYOSHO sweet spot for reviving dead range for MR01 board after run some point to point touching on the soldered location point on PCB board using a long copper antenna to disperse random sign of RX signal. If you have a dead radio range less that 5 feet then this is the fix for you. By default the antenna soldered on circuit lane labelled "L3" just after the resistor placement. Look at the PCB board you'll notice beside lane "L3" there's "L2" . Note that "L2" does have empty cut off empty space usually reseverve for future resistor placement just the opossite side of "L3" resistor. If you have range problem remove your antenna wire from L3 and solder on to the 2nd solder point of "L2". Look at the diagram/schematics below.

(lane "L3") o----------o [resistor] o-------------o[antenna wire]
(lane "L2")(1) o-------o (2) [empty resistor spacing] (3) o--------

**solder your antenna wire at (2)

After that your MR01 PCB board will back alive with much better and far radio range, completely stable!

Should i sell mini-z or not?

I have some delima, i'm not that rich guy who can get another enthusiastic stuff for hobby nor able to keep it long to maintain it. As you know i have several MINI-Z (miniature size 1:28 scale hobby grade radio control models) which is very fun to drive but very expensive to maintain as the parts very hard to come by and its a rare item to be sell or sold off in our local market. After thinking long term affect i decided to switch my level to a better platform.......i'm going for 1/8 NITRO or Electronic Brushless engine which is easy maintenance cost, more parts availability and fast but require bigger space and huge ebergy consumption. MINI-Z is fun especially being outdoors but it too much addictive! Once you're addicted the parts upgrade was too much of a cost vs the bigger scale models. Should i sell or should not....errmmmmmm...
