.RSG. RE-Xtreme RC Livery

Getting close to a final layout for the RE-Xtreme versions of the Addiction FD3s. 

RE-DRB Tsunami Spec 3.3 A-Arms

Look what arrived today. DRB new front end and a few other things.

RE-SPEC 2013 Final - Whats under the shell?

My Hidari Maru S14 can fit most chassis. But what do mine look like these days.

RE-Xtreme

Time for a slight website upgrade. Just a little splash of colour and a new logo variation. I have three Japanese words I use to designate my Chassis Specifications. Tsunami, Typhoon and Samurai.

RE-Xtreme RE-86 6666 Typhoon / Tsunami

Here is a quick comparison of two special machines.

Head to head, there is so much that's different, It may take a while to explain.

Super MAX 599

Yossy's 599 JDM drift style. Looks pretty good!

Maximum Typhoon.

Reality mode at MAX ONE. I think all the effort paid off.

Max Attack - Prep and Play.

Well, I repaired a lot of stuff and did some maintenance, but as always, I forgot a few things.

But I worked on the DRB and 86 during the day.

so the first thing you notice is the vented Bonnet (AUST) / Hood (USA).  But my driver is still in shock that the mirror is missing... Craft Square mirrors aren't cheap you know.

Anyway I used some old hasegawa carbon film I had with a small weave. Some sanding should have been done... haha.

Here are the brakes taken with a real camera. As much as I hate Eagle racing, It's all you can get.

the installation requires different size bearings that allow the shaft to move outward 1mm.

This long grub screw just presses against the hub. Not ideal. I will recess and tap the hole a little in the future. I have plans to make this a fully polished DRB chassis in the future.

I've been having some intermittent issues with the receiver. (turns out the cheap driver servo's blew out.)

I also installed this extractor fan. It makes a big difference. Temps from 60 down to around 30.

 Active antenna stay.

After forgetting to tighten the rear bulkhead and the main drive shaft. there were some tense moments. haha.

The AM team at max one were going hard. Sometimes too hard.

In an attempt to slow the play... and change the line a little to the out line.

I installed my targets around the circuit. In pretty difficult spots to connect. It worked for a while.

this one in my favourite position. It's a bit dangerous. you can see how many hits this corner has taken in about a year. the 86 can hit this target with about 2 cm clear.

 You can see the benefit of the 86 right here. rear wheel on the fence is a real possibility.

I'm getting so close to people, it's a bit intimidating actually.  Even I think I'm too close, but somehow the 86 clears the car in front.

The sun through the window was shining on the brakes. it's cool!

There's still a few details that aren't finished in this picture.

Body lines,
Headlight surrounds,

but these are addressed throughout the day.

Double EYE!  which is the Evil One.

The Yokomo HSV-10 GT500 1/12 scale wing is perfect.

86 Battles - Gymkhana and More.

I think I like it!

Yes... I Do.

The finished article is freaking cool! Max one creates the scenery and lighting I need.

Front madness. Got lighting!

Rear madness. Tomei / TRD and Max One sponsors with some Speedhunters additions.

Waiting for the traffic to clear. Check those mirrors!

Ive got a wild willy II driver in this. the scale is large but it suits the size of the 86.

Will full trim set he can look directly out the side. It looks awesome in switchbacks, but you have to sit beside the track to see it.

Yes It's wide. Speed way Pal 10mm over fenders add about 7mm due to the position on the front and the full 10mm on the rear.

The 86 body is very nice to drift actually. The almost 45 degree corners on the body actually let you get right up to walls and fences. I was very surprised by that. It let's you fool opponents into the wall. Sorry!

Front has RC Square 8mm Hub and +9 N Model Top Line wheels. I let the wheels scratch away on the body to let me know where to trim. I now have clearance... Just! Camber 13 degree. Drive shaft is 44mm.

rear is RC Square 8mm Hub + Top Line N Model +12.  Camber is 7 degree. Rear universal drive shaft is 42mm to allow for this.

So with all this camber and offset, you would think it would be a dog... hahaha. how wrong you are.

The chassis is Perfect!  My DRb is handling amazingly these days. Even with my light 2800 battery the setting is wonderful.

Today I ran about 5 hours of side by side within cm, mm and less of my tandem partner. "Sorted" is probably the best description. (イイこれ！！) "Good This!!" is the surprised Japanese response to my chassis.

With the 4200 the chassis is a little unwilling to turn, but when I mean "unwilling" it is usually like an on off switch so it's actually a good thing. I only needed about 100g added to the body to counter the effect.

You can see the steering mechanism. I got a hi-tec mini servo for 1300 yen and mounted it behind the driver. His head has a small bell-crank on the bottom. It's connected to the Sanwa MT-4 4ws and I use the lever on the transmitter for trim, that way it is easy to "Pose" for static shots.

 But who needs static shots... Bring on the ACTION!

I love some of these shots with the rear brake activated and the front wheels on full lock.

This one is especially good!. I was sitting in the middle of the track spinning around. I got a bit dizzy.

But I still forget the focus points. haha.

But who cares. blur is speed!

Light is fun.

A change of direction.

Which way are you looking.... Driver <----    Car ---->   I had to remount the driver at one point. but now working well. 

Slicing through the Max One landscape.

At first I really wasn't happy with the 86. but after hacking 15mm front the wheel arch height and then adding the over fenders. I feel it is superb. You can see what i mean about the 45 degree body corners and short overhang on the rear.

I took out a light pole and ripped the body totally off today. Wings can be dangerous. 

When Iishida-san and I are side by side it's fun.

san-kyu again.

I love this shot!

stop for a minute and anything can happen. What is that!?!?

A cat... かわいい！

but GET OFF MY BONNET!

This is an OTA-2 front engine conversion. I drove it... Hmm. Setting is difficult. The owner was struggling all day.

a little gymkhana action today also. Exploring the Max One Layout. Variety is certainly available.

Ripping the top line counter clockwise is not easy, but I found a possible line today.

I hope you enjoyed the look at the 86 in it's home course and the other interesting stuff.

Never a dull moment.

Russ.
