RE-Xtreme RC 210 DLM GT2 FD3s
Drift Le Mans? I Wondered what kind of liveries would appear on Mazda race cars these days.
This RENOWN based color scheme is a mix of the white Efini sponsored cars post 787B LE-Mans win.
The green is simply impact. 19" Rays Volk Racing RE-30 in green should simply be on all race cars.
Up against my own FD, we may see something happen in the future, but I don't forsee it attracting this much attention. But then again it's been done before. A bit of vinyl here and there.
Anyway, this is mounted on a Yokomo Drift Package that usually runs 190mm body.
This is 200mm HPI Mazdaspeed FD3s body
D-Stage RE-Amemiya Facer, Side Skirts and Rear Fenders.
D-Stage Mazdaspeed R-Spec Diffuser,
Yokomo S15 Wing and
Yokomo Craft Square Mirrors.
It's 210mm at the rear and the HPI RE-30 Wheels with T-Drift RE-11 32mm +6mm Offset all round. The rear requires +6mm Rear Axles.
Although it looks like a GT2 car, It will be drifted.
I'll post some Videos on Vimeo when I get around to it. Stance, clearance and some small details need to be addressed.

RE-Xtreme LM RC
Finished Almost.
The wing is a yokomo S-15 GT wing that came with craft square GT Mirrors.
Mounting was a pain. I spaced the front and rear fenders with 5mm rubber gromets to meet the 190mm body.
In the end I got there. i haven't played with stance or steering angle, but it will have to be lower to clear the body pieces on full lock with these wheels.
Very Happy... I need a few more stickers and some colour on the rear wing. but thats all in time.
Next will be an out door shoot.

Preparation 7

It's still going to take a while to finish this. Getting the panels to line up perfectly and in the right place is no easy job.

I had a few runs due to impatience and paint incompatibility. Transparent silver and black didn't like each other in 10 degree ?HEAT? not ideal.
Anyway, it will tidy up nicely in the next few days. Still pissed about the side skirts.
Grr.r

Paint Mistake! Ahhh!

With sooooo many pieces I was bound to screw something up.
I have to rush these days with limited free time.
5 colours for this body. I thought I had it all in the right place. But!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHGH!
I dicovered later. I forgot to paint the rear of the sideskirts the lightest shade. Grrrr!
Time for lots of stickers in that area!

Masking Time

It's turning out to be pretty special. My combination of the Renown design and Efini colours will look pretty good I think.
Dashed lines will be silver, There will be some gun metallic and white with varying levels of pearl and transparancy.

Slightly changes with the dimensions of the body of course. small changes to make it all line up.
Just have to cut a few more masks then it's paint time!
