D-Like RE-R

I've recently been slightly unimpressed with the driftpackage full counter setup I have.

So I decided to look at alternatives.

The ground breakers of the new front engine, rear battery, belt drives was the RE-R

So I'm going to get a conversion kit for my drift package.

the cheapest way to upgrade.

I'm sick of the once sided imbalance (battery side) especially when the other components like receiver and servo are so light these days.

Stay tuned.

New Rings


Easy fitting. These o-rings are great. Slide them on then slide on the tyres. Benri--- that means EASY!

So now my Advan RS-D have tyres and are ready for some dori dori action.

The old hachi


I thought I'd pull out the old workhorse.


I'm loving these +9 wheels with Street Jam 45degree stretched tyres.

Now I just have to get the car to handle right. somethings not quite right.

R.W.B Kingyo's Affair.


Anyone who's been watching the car scene recently will know about RWB. Rauh Welt Begriff


Basically it is German for "Rough World" and Nakai-san creates one car for each customer.


A unique one off.


My unique one off is a tribute to RWB using the FD3s D1 Rx7 as a base and adding the RWB Styling hues.


Deeeeeeep Miesters are the main wheels, but stance is effected as I'm currently running 4mm wide axles at the rear.


It makes for an imposing image.


But the Advan RS-D are set correctly.


Either way the car looks amazing!


I've named it Kingyo's Affair after the relationship between the FD and 911 make it look a bit goldfish like. Kingyo is goldfish in Japanese.


Anyway Enjoy.

F.Dorsche WIP


WTF is this. ???


Here is the plan... and Inspiration.


It's UGLY like a mullet that's for sure, but somehow it still pulls off wild. I cut the body down to the polycarb limit and trimmed the skirts like side diffusers and the front splitter is much deeper.


Wheels are +9 offset RC wheels. And rears are +4 spacers. (maybe remove)


You can see a bit of crazy stance here.


 And here. RWB is the inspiration for this and as all their cars have a name, this one may get "Kingyo's Affair"
The story of a goldfish and it's birth from the RX7 and Porsche Cross breeding.

 

Here I have the car on +6 Advan RS-D, I shall see which wheels I want to run after the body graphics go on.

Soon.

LM Update


New wheels for another car means crazy cool updates.


This is a HPI 200mm body with widebody extensions and 4mm rear axles and custom 9mm miester S1


Deep doesn't come close. I modified the rear for the double diffuser


Still a great looking body. These sit on the shelf a lot recently as my hack body still looks good..

RC F.Dorsche


I finally got the RE-Amemiya D1 M7 FD bodyshell.


And I'm adding some fat miesters with +9 offset. including +4 rear axles


I already have some deep stretch tyres that will create stance and luckily the yokomo body is a bit oversize on this one already. Should be awesome.


I got a bit of a discount from my friend at Drift-Max in Akiba. If you guys come to Japan on holiday he really is the best. Always has the latest.

The wheels look ok on the LM version, but I have some crazy plans for this one.

Stay tuned as the F.Dorsche comes alive.
