RC Drift QLD

 

Parked up @ RC Drift QLD, the details look good. A mixed street "looking" circuit...



Main run is a sweeper onto the short "straight". 


With a tight entry that perfect for a backie or two. 



The guys are holding some good lines. 

As with any circuit the fast an slow lines exist so i think some markers for the "slow" line would help accuracy and familiarity. 

Apart from that... a great track for battery drain.

RC Arlos 24KRC GR Yaris - Shoot

 

RC Arlos GR Yaris on deck. I am really digging the look.  


Roof is carbon look, and while didnt get the exact look i was after is still good. short overhang means chase cars beware of walls. . you can see how close it is. 

I think it's probably the same as the 370z or GT86 but for transitioning chase car its shorter. 

So happy with this beast. Still some details to complete.

RC Arlos 24KRC GR Yaris - Debut

RC Arlos 24KRC GR Yaris - Completed enough for a debut. 

While the black rims were awesome, I had to change to the spec tyres for RC Drift QLD. wheel clearance is mm dependant. 

Being night time, this also aids visibility. 

Visble proximity to walls is a challenging as there is no margin for error. The YD2 ZX is pretty good. 

Very happy. 




RC Drift QLD is a new venue, I'll cover this in a later post. Today was about the Yaris. fun machine.

RC Arlos 24KRC GR Yaris - Build - Assembly

Debut ready... still need door handles and a few things. 

So Happy I could get this mounted LOW!


Light buckets were a painters challenge. 

I don't really understand when a DRL is required, that the only option is a white paint. For a $50 light bucket set, they ain't that great.

I will need lights on track and these require 3 small LED each side... Hmm. more custom.

LOW is good.


Low is good. Rear brake disks not in this picture while adjusting offset.


This picture is before mounting and small stickers as in the top picture
