Servo - SRG-BLX - Rehash

I have 5 Sanwa SRG-BLX servo's that have had their fair share of drift action in 5 years. Three of them recently crying out for maintenance after that one too many collisions.

GCRCD + .RSG.

This is the current GCRCD - Gold Coast RC Drift and a sample of my .RSG. machines.

As if this Yokomo S13 + Addiction aero wasn't looking good, sometimes you want to show off a bit more.

DRB-REW Front Servo Test

DRB Diffferent Specifications

DRB vs DRB... but they couldn't be further apart in setting.

Chassis Work

Chassis Image is wasted once the body goes on, But I like the mechanical image.

It won't be long before the Drift Package Imadoki Rwd is in action.

Just waiting for electrics which gives me time to de-anodise the few coloured parts. And I need to source a small mono shock for the upper arms.


DRb 5.0 has also received some bling upgrades. 

The main one being the front bumper support weight. The 5.0 needs as much grip from the minimal front rotation as possible.

I also wrapped the servo for image. But I really need to remove the two red parts on the chassis.

A few adjustments still need to be made up front to correct the upper arm.

It's just a shame all the blue parts are just the shade off each other.

RE-DRB OD SSG Typhoon Spec 2.22222

I'm in the process of upgrading to CS 2.22 on the DRB.

RE-Xtreme FD3s Spirit R

95% complete, but good enough for a photoshoot.

RE-DIB 275 OD 2.0

RE-Xtreme Yokomo DIB 275mm Long Chassis is ready for shakedown. Take in it's glory.

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.

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.

click for larger image of the "RE-Xtreme Tsunami Spec RE-DRB CSG 1.5".

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 RC Yokomo DRB SSG & SSG HT

RE-Xtreme RE-DRB HT Tsunami Spec Demo Chassis and Test Chassis. Which is Which?

It doesn't really matter, they will both offer similar performance. But what it means is that I can play around with settings on the test chassis and then transfer them onto the main chassis once refined.

At the moment differences are visually minimal, but actually there are numerous differences.  The front hubs are just one example.

Steering angle is the same, motor and ESC are the same and at the moment dampers are unknown.

I'm going to start by getting them to feel a bit different. I will take the new chassis in a bit of a wild direction to see what works and what doesn't.

I couldn't really do this before on the TA-06 as changes were completely irrelevant between the two.

The test chassis is currently set up with 2.0x FCD I'm starting at 2.5 degree rear toe in and moving away from that. I've already tried a short size battery in the central position. Hmmm.

I'm already playing with setups and planning things to try. I need to be methodical about it though.

I'm really looking forward to this.

Now the electronics are in, I'll walk you around the chassis. By the way I have already added the 3/4 size battery mount.

In some ways the Test Chassis has more upgrades than my HT chassis.  Titanium Screws, Titanium coated suspension shafts, Front alloy bumper stay.Some bearing upgrades etc.

The Blue Keyence Tachyon ESC matches very well and the Black case 7.5T Keyence Luxon KG always looked good. For now, I'm running 90T Spur and 23T pinion.

I also swapped the Driver's head . The upper deck is slightly different between the HT version also.

Stand by for shakedown test of the tester. haha.
