Yokomo Custom Chop Shop

The long road to RWD development and a bit of CS on the side.

Chassis RWD Project and NO Scrub Rebuilds

My Drift Master is a mix of components these days, but I still wanted it to keep as much of the "Ultimate Yokomo Drift Package" as possible.  Weight Shift Roll Chassis... The Drift Master!

I know there are a lot of other components out there that offer (honestly too much) adjust-ability.  So when you are offered a simple stylish option. I rate that pretty highly too.

Drift Master and apprentice.

My Drift Master has been through some changes.

While my ultimate DRB just gets minor upgrades. Always.

GCRC Battle, Test and Tune

Hey Mario! get out of the way!

Lot's of RWD and a bit of tuning, but always battles a plenty.

GCRC Sundie Best!

This Sunday was another special one. 

So hold on for a long post.

Side Tracked

Awaiting completion... The 86 sits ready for lights as new red wheels are being painted.

Some might say... Side Tracked with too many projects

GCRC Saturday Double Session

I had a double crack at GCRC today and tonight.


The day session was quick with the 180SX 2X getting a run. 

Servo Swapping.

Servo savers are complete.

Still swapping stuff around. Polish this, move that, replace this.

Overdosing!

FD Missile V3 at Gold Coast RC Raceway.

High Power FD3s debut at Australia's Gold Coast RC Raceway.


Not only have I been redecorating my body-shells recently. I've just finished decorating the GCRC barriers. It's been a long process to cover 200 meters of barriers. But tonight I added the final GCRC Gold Coast RC Raceway logos.

So before the barriers are in the state of disrepait that my fd is, I thought I'd better photograph the contrast.

The FD is now in Version 3 Spec. the Pandora RC original bumper bent into shape nicely to match the speed way pal fenders. A custom splitter attaches nicely. I didn't bother to clean up the excess shoe goo yet.

While the body is not in good condition, It certainly has character. The MST wheels +11 suit this perfectly.

Underneath, there's still a whole heap of adjustment on this chassis to go. It's relatively old school tuning for me as far as the drift master is concerned.

The exposed gearbox and slide rack provide the points of interest. Apart from the chassis plates , shock towers and gearbox bulkheads that define the Drift Master version of the drift package, there's nothing else that is original Drift Master.

CS 3.4 comes from front and rear gearset changes. alloy arms for suspension and adjustable ride from Kazama tops. Slide race steering and most 

But as with any drift package. It's reliable as shaft drive machines can be and it just works. 

With about 150000 other parts available for the drift package, you never know where this will end up. But for now, it's pretty much done.

all thats left is a little tweaking and lots of battles.

GCRC DP-DM FRI-DEBUT

Finally got the Shaft Drive Drift Package Drift Master on track.

CS 3.4 from the shaft drive machine is about the maximum possible without major component change.

 I think you will agree that this amount of CONSTANT lock through the corner is only possible with a large amount of CS.

The chassis can hold this kind of angle all day.

If you try this using a stock Drift package the front wheels will be straight 90% of the time. Bine are at 45 degrees when ever I have the car hanging out.

High Speed looks awesome.

low speed equally so.

Big thanks to my photographer. 

These images of the 2000GT look amazing, but it's the chassis that makes these images possible. Being able to place the car where it needs to be is the key.

I'm going to enjoy this shaft drive machine.

Drift Package Version Conversion.

Here is a solid CS drift package. All you need for counter-steer without the bling.

And here is the bling and the function minus the shaft and converted to RWD.
