RWB G-Force #9 - BBS Display

These BBS are the display wheels for G-Force 9

Hpi make these larger versions of drift wheels. these are BBS LMR work out to be about 19"

Looking awesome with Advan AD07.

They are also really wide at the rear so they fill the guards, however the wheelbase is maybe 2mm short for these. I'll have to play around with the chassis spacers.

Looking ready!

RWB G-Force #9 - First Light

Here it is... RWB 993 GT-2 G-Force #9

Complete 99.9%. I am undecided whether to do body panel lines of not. It looks great as it is.

This one has a real rubber splitter cover and the main difference is the side skirts.

The remainder is the same as the Speed Hunter #34 There are small deviations in the rear too.

Pretty tough!!!!! Damn!!! Got Stance.

Its ready for a trial run. It's mounted on the destination chassis but I will have another photoshoot soon with the 19"BBS wheels.

This one I added fenders in one piece at the rear. Check the photo-realistic engine inside.

There's always small things I want to fix, but time is one thing I don't have these days. I want the guys to enjoy their Porsche, not ogle tiny details. The theme is definitely there.

Get the idea. Based on the Tamiya GT-2 Widebody lengthened for Yokomo Chassis. It's not perfect, but its  fantastic.

However there are some small dis-tractors around the car. RWB stickers and lots of detail inside.

I was unsure about white windscreen decal or black. I think the black looks tougher.

225mm of nuttiness. In RC terms, this is FAT! Rear HPI Work rims are +9 with a 6mm spacer.

So there you have it. the second one is done. 6 months after the start. Let's go drift!

Kazama D-Link II

 Took my beast up to Kazama's new indoor track. Wow! the large space makes everything more difficult.

Dino brought the Speed Hunter for some action. It looks awesome and stood up well to the punishment. we just have to get it on a decent chassis next... OTA ZEON!???

Sliding around, the Porsche is strange, but cool once you get used to it.

It's fat but makes quite the impression.

The track doesn't have elevation anymore, but the big flat area showed my insufficient setup on my car.

I really haven't spent the time yet. So luckily some very kind locals helped me with toe angle / ride height and other stuff. It really makes a difference. some new springs coming. Super soft front, medium rear.

BUT, the big issue was my Propo. It was out of range and getting interference. It's an entry spec unit, but didn't expect that. Kazama told me Yokomo 2.4 ghz systems had lots of claims. So guess what. It's getting the turf.

next week. Maybe Santa / Sanwa will come early.

I leaned a lot tonight so it was a great experience. These guys are so awesome. Above is an Overdose chassis DRB with every conceivable modification. heavy but getting my attention. Thanks for the help!

I'll end with a bit of shakotan dori.

RWB Speed Hunter #34

Time to release the final shots before I handed over the body that's now in it's new home.

The diffuser is not for the destination. Just something I had on the chassis at the time.

The finished machine looks AWESOME! Speed Hunter Dino is a GT-R34 lover also so I worked that into his build. I didn't give him much choice in his final product. Maybe One day it might receive a coat of flat clear and side skirts, but for now, it's complete.

RC Bodies are a little chassis specific. So the final tuning was needed on the destination chassis.

I don't feel the extra length is too noticeable. Especially at speed. I need another 3 mm for the rear tyres. but no-one makes bigger spacers. But when the body is mounted LOW. It looks awesome!!!

Dino's awesome SpeedHunters.com shots from MAX ONE, with my build summary is here.

Enjoy the creation. A challenge, but a pleasure to see the RWB style smile. Wide...
