RC Drift QLD - Session

 

A 3 hour session still feels short. 

But we managed some awesome laps. 

I had to switch to white rims for my tired old man eyes. 

So these yokomo 6 spoke in 17"/18" versions did the trick. 

Keeping my favourite Yokomo was a good choice. 

Good battles. 

My Sakura D6 also just as good in a different way. Stay tuned for completed mistubishi pics.  

FD Twin Stickers

The Two FD3s are sill in finishing mode. Stickers and details. 

Note the rear ducktails. actually the inside of the Addiction ductail mount. ;)

Adding Some more logos to fill in the blank canvas. 

Shout out to me for Design!

Shout out to Marty for Cuts!

Before some details.

After some details.

Rear Window and front banner

Sides and more. to come. 

Body Swaps

The Supra has been sitting on the RX but I wanted to switch to the FD. 

So the long process off taking the supra off the rx and re-offsetting everything for the FD3s be 

The result was good. but the ESC switch gave me trouble. 

 These shots of the fd were the last 5 minutes of a three hour session. 

YD2-REX Shakedown @ Broz

 

Shakedown @ Broz. 

Or is it Akina-san. 

The track is looking great these days. 

But what about the YD2. Basically. The fist setting didn't have enough lock.  So an adjustment in front toe started to see improvement, then a front track change and more camber server mixed results. 

It's not far away from a solid setup. Very fast, very slidy, but it just needs to be a little more stable.  

Until next time... Let's think of how to improve.  

YD2-REX Shakedown Ready

The YD2 is ready for a session. so the body is mounted up and the girls are in. 

Weigh balance by WW ladies. The chassis is tested on the house tiles and seems very forgiving. 

Added some custom canards and a few old stickers... maybe temporary. 

Demi Glazed

 

Shelf queen... maybe...

Trying a lot of rims

She is happy to go

Off to BROZ.

Many laps of drift package punishment.

Battle up!

RC Return?

Here is a simply project that took way too long...

Lack of motivation is a real problem in RC right now for me. 

and I think it basically comes down to cost / performance.

Even this tamiya body plus Demi Works kit plus a few cans of paint ends up around $250AUD.

That's way too much. As the AUD is so weak. I balk at any RC parts purchase especially from Japan + postage.

While my PC simulator receives 1 hour a day... the RC hobby gets about 1 hour per month.

We shall see if that changes in the future. but at the moment... the VR world is winning.

FD3s Re-booted

Time to get the RE-Xtreme FD3s back in action.

RB-fd3-SMASH

This is a case of post-Japan Demi-Tauma...

GCRC Last Tuesday - Part#2 Battle Time

My last big battle night at GCRC was awesome! Fantastic and Spectacular!

Some incredible battles and unbelievable fun.

GCRC - 2 is day #Part2 In search of "THE LAP"

Q: How much practice does it take? 

A: Lots!

RE-Xtreme DRB-REW Dial in.

Setting up a new chassis that pushes the limits takes some time.  This is especially true for RWD.

Whether it be a Plastic Drift Package. or a high end machine. They all have their little tricks that are needed.

Converting a chassis from 4WD to RWD means changing a lot of components or modifying. I'm doing a little of both.

RE-QUAD6-7 Update#6 Light

When all those long hours add up... and you get close to the end of a project... It starts to give rewards.

RE-Quad6-Seven - Update #4 Subtle Detail

RE-Quad6-Seven - Update #2 Cut, Mask and Paint

Underway... but soooo much more to do... I don't want to think about it.
