*BACK AT IT*

Making some last memories!!

I haven't had much time to RC in the past few months, but i recently had the chance to hit the track and making a video with the team for quite possibly the last time at our beloved RC WONDERLAND, it was a good chance to put my recently painted 180sx pignose down for some laps and also test out some new things on the NERVIS.

ENJOY!!

ABC 180SX pignose - CHERRY SODA POP!!

Doripake RWD ... Chill Sunday Sessions

NERVIS had its first few runs ..

USUKANI x YOKOMO

I finally had a chance to fit my USUKANI parts onto yet again another plastic tub build, and would you believe it was my girlfriend that built most of it, well with a little help from me of course, it was kind of a team effort so we breezed though the build process, at the end of it i just put it the technical work and set up the front end ... 

Now the Yokomo RWD kit is great piece of hardware for anyone that owns a drift package and wants to convert to RWD, it contains all the necessary bits and pieces to change up your entire steering front end, steering arms, a-arms, y-arms, knuckles and everything to put them together, you can get some serious high angle lock with this kit, in my case here i've only used the high angle steering arms and with these new USUKANI parts i think i've achieve some pretty good angle, lets take a look at the pics below.

At neutral its about 0 - 1 degrees toe out.

Some serious HIGH angle lock and good ackerman.

Thanks to USUKANI for the parts, they've all work out really well here.

I've been running Sanwa ESC's since the day they released and they have been really good to me, no issues what so ever, BUT i've always had my eye on the Acuvance systems and so i think its about time i take the dive and try it out.

Cerx UPDATE!!

A change of plans for the CE-RX

^

Its been awhile since i've posted on my blog, i took a little break so hence the lack of updates, but during that time i've had time to think about my current chassis, the doripake was changed over form the kazama to the JECT RACING but now i've decided to take another approach to it so its been pulled apart and in pieces. So with the DP out of action it was the perfect time to wake up the wolf from hibernation but once again i was making the decision to make some changes to the CERX.

Running the plastic DP RWD ...

I've finally got a video of my BASIC plastic DP rwd ... it goes to show that you really don't need that much to have a great RWD chassis, just as long as you have the right parts and the know how something as basic as this can be just as much fun to build and tune amongst all the alloy builds out there.

ENJOY!!

Street Legal Class!!!

Its time to get back to the basics!!!!! whats necasary and whats not necassary ....

What is and what isn't necessary to have an ultimate RWD machine, for this build plastic and the necessary upgrades is all i need and all at minimal costs too. Tuning and knowledge will be my guide.

The white wolf has been transformed into "THE WHITE SAMURAI"

Rebuilding the White Wolf

 ^

The first step to rebuilding the ce-rx was to clean up as best as i could the SSG decks, having bought it used form japan it was sure to have a bit of dirt and grime from use although it wasn't too bad and it was in pretty good condition.

Applying the first tail-slider part and such good quality.

Front shock tower and bumper.

Rear shock tower, D-Like alloy 32t pulley, rc art solid spool with weight.

Rc art alloy battery holder - gunmetal

The stock shock towers got some added dress up items - alloy springs cups and kazama shock caps.

To Be Continued .....

Bought not Built x Dirft the wall

^

This post is slightly late but about a week ago RC Wonderland held a body comp which was specific to 2 categories - BOUGHT or BUILT, after the body comp a Drift The Wall comp was held. I was a judge for both the body comp and the drift comp, so seeing as i was not entering either one i took the time to take a whole bunch of photo's, i had also newly acquired a super zoom lens so it was the perfect time and event to use it.

24hr matsuri

Picture from last nights 24hr Matsuri taken at 1am ... i personally only lasted 5hrs but i was so buggered after coming straight from work, sorry for the lack of more pictures but all i wanted to do was drift as much as i could with my mates from Newcastle, Melbourne and Gold Coast that had made the trip ... it was a blast banging doors with you all.
