RE-Xtreme RE-Location and REflection.

I'll be taking a break for a couple of weeks, so I won't be updating the site during that time. Re-locating is always tough, but when I come out the other side, there will be new RC tracks to explore and new directions to follow.

Looking forward to the change and challenge. Until I return, here's some photos I've taken at evens and places / cars that have influenced my directions. Who knows whats next.

You Tool!

What are some of the necessary pieces of the RC toolbox?

 OK. Time to checkpoint this plastic bucket of RWD. I call it Spec "R"

Drift Package Options.

There's a lot of parts out there for the Drift Package and there seem to be more and more but you can't get a drift package without considering the other MR4 TC (touring car) chassis.

Here is a list of chassis that have been produced and some discontinued. No wonder it all gets confusing.

RE-Xtreme FD3s Spirit R

95% complete, but good enough for a photoshoot.

Return to the chase.

Re-painting the chaser was a strange exercise. The original chrome lifted off except the absolute thinnest layer. Re-painted in PS Silver it remains bright.

Re-mounted on new magnets for a stronger solution.
