Twins and Triplets

Recolored the CA* to gold. I like the look a lot more. 

Really has some style now. 

Marty was on camera when I was driving. 

BROZ toyz has a new diorama track. 

Rock sections still under construction but looking very scale. 

Road detail also looks great. 

Street Size is really good. 

I love the Diorama style.

The track is small but still entertaining. 

A different kind of drifting. 

Full throttle for sideways, not for straight line. 

Met some old and new folks. 

And we hit the Meihan track too. 

When I think about meihan, It's a love hate. 

because there is so much focus on not drifting or that 5 degree drift to get the speed you need to do that entry.  

Its fun, but if your car is slightly lacking (from neglect like mine always are.)

it's very hard to be in COMP mode for 2 hours. It's not relaxing at all when every lap has to be max attack.

Anyway.. back to reality. 

Fail Crew S14

 

My Fail Crew S14 is complete-ish. After a 2 month wait for sea-shipping and a few weeks in build 

Headed to Broz Meihan

Thanks to "Kane" for the mask and friends who helped with paint in times of low supply.

Joining those boys Jay and Scott for some fail crew running. 

all manner of S14s 

there is one more matching my s14 and a bunch of other cars out there. Stay tuned for trains. 

Demi Glazed

 

Shelf queen... maybe...

Trying a lot of rims

She is happy to go

Off to BROZ.

Many laps of drift package punishment.

Battle up!

RC Return?

Here is a simply project that took way too long...

Lack of motivation is a real problem in RC right now for me. 

and I think it basically comes down to cost / performance.

Even this tamiya body plus Demi Works kit plus a few cans of paint ends up around $250AUD.

That's way too much. As the AUD is so weak. I balk at any RC parts purchase especially from Japan + postage.

While my PC simulator receives 1 hour a day... the RC hobby gets about 1 hour per month.

We shall see if that changes in the future. but at the moment... the VR world is winning.

Broz Mad March

A couple of prolific body builders at Broz 

Kaine's latest MAD mike RX73 looks cool. I just dropped on my chassis for a shot.

Competition bodies always look good too.

 Good ol datto!

2 hours of driving is enough for me these days.

Broz Revisit

Quality

is in the details.

repairs even look good

edges of this one mean... time...

brings the oohs and ahhhs

But no matter what you run...

prepare for the SMASH!

Broz Catch up

Just a couple of shots

Lots of Driving

Chassis Choices

Lets have a look at some of the newer things out there. Strating with the Bao la Fantasy II

the front of these seem way more subtle than any other chassis. leverage 

but the most asked about feature is actually the rear.

a twisting torsion bar with 3 shocks.

the "floating rear" gives good traction, but the owner says thats not always the best depending on who you run with... balance is good.

Its good to see these designs up close.

And feel and compare when you are side by side.

this design incorporates the Bao La front end on the YD2.

 with all components very thin, Steering angle is amazing.

Everything is very adjustable,

Now the YD2 is also just a good thing.

and when you up spec everything, they get even better still.

Nothing wrong with the belcrank front servo and steering..

simple is good.

The last one here is the Usukani PDS.

A carbon aluminium hybrid.

it also shows some unique things.

Steering ackerman adjust is very very easy.

Broz was quite busy on saturday

take a look at the RX7s on their page.

Body comp style.
