R/C Drifting

Thanks flunked, I'm VDubbin on that site, post there nearly every day!
I have the bits bought, but I haven't gotten around to putting it all toghether. I've another E30 M3 shell that I'm building soon, and the light kit will be going into that, I think.
If you like that site you might also find these cool:

You might find it useful!

Or you could use this system

TRANSMITTER CONTROLLED 6 LED BRAKE LIGHTS, NO BATTERY!!

2 Espressi

V, that's a legend of a find! Looks like they've taken a servo apart and used the logic board to control power to the LEDs.

/wanders off to tell the world!

Gonna be trying this soon hopefully.
Only thing Is I am thinking of being adventerous and getting a couple of Tamiya Nitros..

if its 4wd it shoulod work you need the hardest tries you can get, dont use tape-abs-pe-pvc pipe tires ;-)

2 Espressi

Well you know what I think!

g5hn710m4xpdwy

2 Espressi

Well, I was thinking about the nitro v elec drifting debate, but that works too!

Bought this on Ebay for my son last Tuesday and took delivery of it today..

TT-01 Highly Hopped up

I am well pleased for him.
Just needs some drift rubber and some custom stickers now and away he goes..

Well. He is lucky as he is an only child so it is a bit easier to only have to spoil one

Anyway he deserves it :cool:

HOLY ****TLLES! sorry but wow....
no do not get drift rubber, thats mostly nitro :O goto the local hardware / plumbing place and get ABS pipe, if thats not avaible get PVC pipe, bring the rim for size referance, thesrs a standard size pipe that is slightly to small, boil it and fit it to the rim
thats a very very nice car, how much did it set you back ?
im beginning to hate you and your son now
also i dont think it needs any more sclae decals it has all the "underground" "tuning" manufactores decals that are needed, very very nice body

I have some sets of those pipes already but would prefer to get some drift tyres and a different set of rims..


How much did I pay for it?
Well
This never hit the ground yet.
It was built and sold but never ran..
You tell me what you think I paid..

Plug

Thats nice, very nice..all the aluminium parts look brilliant;)

Tell Him he'll have no adjustable camber on that though, if he's still wondering!

I know but Is it that important for drift?

2 Espressi

Nope, not at all, I've never had any need for it with ABS or PVC.
He asked me at the weekend, I think he was just stumped.

vectra

How do you think this would go on drift rubber?
Tamiya's or Yok's ?

tallus

it's a beautiful model

2 Espressi

Drift rubber takes a while to break in from what I've heard. Baza in Fermoy has just got a set of HPI drift Radials, but he broke the rear Diff cover so it's out of action till he replaces it. ABS/PVC is cheaper though!

2 Espressi

it seems HPI make slicks as well as the radials, but the slicks don't seem to be anygood ...
