THE WOLF IS HERE!!!

^

My dream chassis has arrived .. rc art white wolf, my plans for this chassis are simple High Counter Steer goodness, i'll be aiming for 3.0+.

^

I'm gonna try and keep this build simple .. well thats the plan anyways ... the gears i've chosen to use are 43-9-22-32 this will give me just a little bit over 3.0 CS.

^

43t pulley will have to be custom fitted to the front one-way.

 ^

Custom 9t pulley will help under drive the front.

 ^

Now some issues with having to fit a larger pulley in the front is the pulley rubbing up against the front shock tower, bottom chassis plate cut-out and front suspension block, so in order to avoid this i've had to space the shock tower forward 3-4mm and space up the front bulkhead and motor mounting 0.5mm ... this should help reduce the amount of rubbing on any parts of the chassis, it'll also avoid me from having to shave any parts of the chassis ... i'll also look into using smaller spacers under the suspension blocks or possibly removing them just to add a little bit more clearance to the pulley.

^

Its hard to see in this picture but the pulley comes real close to chassis plate cut-out hopefully i won't have to shave down the carbon fibre to avoid chassis plate damage and yes it is used but i still don't like the idea of hurting her... haha.

S-chassis festa - NEWCASTLE

^

We recently had our ONE10.RCDT x NDRC S-Chassis Festa event up in Newcastle on the weekend, with a few of the RCDU boys coming up too, the drive was about 2 hours, 162km NNE of Sydney, a 6:30am wake up for me and meeting up with the crew to leave at about 830am and arriving 10:30am,  we did kinda get lost due to relying on the facebook MAPS taking us 10mins away from our actual destination .. haha, we finally found our way in the end.

Onevia update

^ 

Onevia is done for now, other than a few imperfections here and there it turned out exactly how i imagined it.

Final tune

^

So after a good session yesterday i finally found a setting that i was very pleased with, the rear batter layout really performs well on the Kazama and i'm enjoying the way it drifts on the track, especially with our new HUGE layout, all it took was some spring swaps and some tender loving attention to the rear suspension setup.

I'll now have a setup ready over on my kazama page.

ONEVIA!!!

The onevia!!

 hood vents cutout!!

 Side vents cut out!!

 bumper cut outs!!

Tail-Zama ...

 ^

I bought the DP tail-slider towers a few weeks ago, but i hadn't been bothered to put them on, i already had the front bumper and spur gear cover, so i thought now would be that time to add them. The add extra thick alloy adds some stiffness and a bit of weight too, which is always good.

Kazama's rear battery first run ...

^

Today was the first run for my new battery layout and i have to say i do prefer it this way rather than the weight shift, there was very little changes done to the settings at all other than playing around with a few different springs in the rear and settling on hards, i also adjusted the rear shock positions and had them leaning in more. The surface at RCW is very very slippery so this battery setup does make that rear end swing around real fast especially when you wanna chuck it down the straight or when you wanna through it into a corner it'll get sideways more .. more fun times!!!

Kazama update ....

 ^

A change in battery position for the kazama, but it still looks clean. After driving Hakimo's chassis and the feel of its rear so planted i decided to apply it to the kazama, i've always wanted to try this so we'll see how it goes, the other thing is that i'm gonna tune this for less understeer unlike Hakimo's which is more understeer.

 ^

Talking about an ASS SO PHAT.

^

Mounted and fitted perfectly but it wasn't easy though, the holes of the WUN shorty battery holder plate didn't line up with the gear case so i had to use kazama extensions that act like an adaptor so i can mount it to the gear case.

Yokomo S14 Zenki

^

So there's an S-Chassis meet at the end of the month and although i may already have my 180SX, i thought this might be perfect the time to start my S14 that i had cut out awhile back, this is far from finished as you can see and it may not be clear in the picture but i wasn't happy with my painting job .. oh well!! either way this will still turn out looking good ... i've got tons to do.

Untill next time ....

RWD OUTCLIP DPM by Hakimo Namoto

Something Random ..

^

Now i'm a 90's kid and when i was a kid my first ever hobby i ever started was skating and till this day i still love skating, i just wish by body was still up for it. But i still love all things skate and back when i was a kid i fell in love with this game on my nintendo nes 

"SKATE OR DIE"

So now i'm slightly a little bit older and although my hobbies have changed since i was kid, i'm able to create something that draws inspiration from my current hobby, older hobby and gaming.

 ^

"SLIDE OR DIE"

It's just a simple design, its just a little something that show my love for skating and my passion for rc drift.

^

Slide Or Die stickers in all sort of colours, these are just a sample.
