So... The wheel dilemma on the V2 continues, but choice is awesome. 

RE-DP-DM Almost RTS "Ready to Slide"

The Drift Master is almost ready, check a few more details.

Drift Package - Drift Master Spec 3.4

The Drift Master is a good looking chassis. But you always need that little extra to make things POP!

The Overdose battery stay  and Keyence motor case complement the team suzuki alloy parts angainst the black carbon LCG chassis.

I must say, I am mightily impressed with how this worked out.

Za Muruman Dorifuto S13 Update

Little by Little, the beast is approaching debut.

S2K Update #3 Amusing.

Acquiring the image. The Amuse touge monsters are awesome machines. You can't beat an open top car in the mountains.

Spice Gram Lights 57D

I picked up these little beauties. Spice Rays Gram Lights 57 D. "D" is for Drift.

RE-Xtreme FD3s Spirit R

95% complete, but good enough for a photoshoot.

Wheel Choices

This may be a reflection on my own style, but having lived in Japan for 10 years and being around the tuning car scene, the drift / time attack style has definitely got inside my head.

Yokomo Mark X 275 - Update #2

Oh yeah! the MARK X is here and the project is definitely underway.

2012 July Chassis Checkpoint

"RE-Xtreme Tsunami Spec RE-DRB CSG 1.5" is a well balanced fast drift machine.

 "RE-Xtreme Tsunami Spec RE-DRB SSG HT OD 1.8" is a wild and crazy fun machine.

Settings Sheets are included below, so take a look and you may see something interesting.

I always run on carpet. So these setting may not suit.

Russ.

Something about the blue and black that works well. I really like this recently.

The addition of the new wire really helps pretty up the chassis.

crazy 13 degree camber requires a few changes. I've upgraded all the drive shafts and axles with RC square items as well as shorter front turnbuckles for stability.

It means on full lock and compression or rebound. things are in the right place. I'm still running Yokomo Suzuki long springs on this chassis. I haven't found a better setting... yet.

I run Kazama premium tyres on this one too. They give slightly more traction than my other tyres.

I run a black Keyence street jam works ESC set which includes the 7.5T but I only run at about 73-80% power.

let's move onto the HT chassis.  "RE-Xtreme Tsunami Spec RE-DRB SSG HT OD 1.8"

Currently Tsunami spec includes Blue alloy. This one will soon get the silver alloy "typhoon spec"

While it may look similar, the front suspension setup is Overdose 8-8 and there's a full overdose axle set.
RC926 twin springs allow many shock setting variations. I'm still finding the right one here.

Kazama FXR are +10 and I run small offset spacers depending on body. these are now 1.5mm wider.
Speaking of the body. I run about 300g of extra weight under the roof.

I have an aerial post on this but it's un-needed and looks ugly. I'll be cleaning up this chassis a bit more soon.

I can run a slightly larger spur on the HT chassis. Normal chassis is 84 max, HT can handle 92 max. Kazama 1.0mm spacer can handle 88max I think.

Setting sheet is here.

Happy tuning.

I have DRB Chassis number three available for purchase soon. very similar specs to this. Contact me if you are in the market. I also have my special TA-06 2.2x cs full tune chassis for sale.

RE-Xtreme Tsunami TA-D7

Yes. It's what I want and It's mine.

It all came together quite well indeed.

Kazama wheels are the perfect match.

 There are curves and slabs on this RX-7. Super GT for the Drift world.

Overall, the wave pattern is hardly visible. but you know something is underneath. 

the waves are more visible from some angles. but at speed the RUSH will be awesome.

 I dialed in 15 degrees for these pics. I'll run 13.

Tribal Water.

I thought there'd be more blue. but the white is very powerful. I may rewire some blue LEDs.

Rear is looking good.

 Can't wait to get this sideways.

The Tsunami TA-D7 joins the Super GT-D7 for my drift squad. These will be the mainstay of my RC drifting for some time. so I'm glad the Tsunami turned out as good as it did.

Overdose Anniversary loot

Can you Overdose on RC... Never.

Not many people get one of these.

This was the major purchase. Overdose case.

for setting board Serial number 155 of 200.

The machined face of the aluminum is pretty cool.

Overdose is produced by Weld tuning factory of course.

The setting board is nice. you just have to be careful with the plastic tyres on the sharp edges.

 I haven't installed these yet. The extended tread on the axle is great for spacers.

Top Line Speedworks RS Watanabe 8 spoke in +9. only 200 yen.

Go to match my countless other Top Line wheels.

in various offsets.

A discount on these too. All my springs will be RC926 soon. Easy to manage.

 Kazama's display was only on Sunday, so I missed catching up with him. He also has a bunch of my cash recently.
