Japan Tour 2016 - Faster


Being smooth is the key to run "Faster"
 

Welcome to Faster Circuit Saitama.

GCRCD - Full Attack


Back at GCRCD, I have definitely leveled up since my trip. A huge thanks to all the names on this body and many many more. The people I met have had a huge influence on my RC skill.


Settings are difficult as we all know but I tried to learn something from everyone I met. And now I am applying that to my driving and settings at GCRCD.


YD-2 - Yokomo's dedicated RWD chassis.


Yokomo's YD-2 has been long awaited and yes, it has already taken over.

How do you benchmark your RC drift skills?


If I can have fun, then that's certainly enough for me.
