Interesting Tutorial...

Wow, i was thinking of crossing a Yokomo PS13 with a S13 to get a sileighty...


Dunno whether i have the balls to cut two yokomo shells away to do this....

maybe ill get a HPI Soarer, or a Tamiya 32....

More Stuff..

Ok, here you go guys... Recognise this? Yep, my New Tamiya Super Stock TZ 23 Turn Motor.
Here it is, mounted on my TB03... I would say its pretty cheap, for a motor that is maintainable, and have much more freedom in cleaning.
time for some maintenance, This is Silicon based oil at 50w, i changed to shock oils, which have turned from yellow to black....feels very diffrent, as the amount of weight on the shocks have decreased, the bouncing effect increased in front, causing less grip in front. but for the rear, i get more drift angle as a result.

Ugh.... because of the rebuildable motor, dust and dirt gets in more easily.... so i used this to clean off the dirt, i found a piece of muck inside just after my first run with the motor...

It sort of eats off the dirt, leaving behind shiny parts, which i am more than happy, to assemble it back together...

Pretty much all, for this month. I'm going to buy a spool next week...

Tamiya GT-R33 (re-released)

by the wind on Aug.16, 2009, under RC News

So, Tamiya has finally re-release the most wanted bodyshell by RC drift community, the Nissan GT-R33 originally from TA01 kit Loctite livery. Even though it is a limited edition spare body set, we are very sure it will be a hit among option project lookers as well as collectors who may not even build or paint it.

Currently only available in Japan market, spotted via Yahoo site, the bodyshell is available as in the original state, that is without light bucket or any other addons. There was before, some tips that ABC Hobby is working on Street type Nissan GT-R33 bodyshell, beefing up their drifting line products. We also have reason to believe that HPI is in the same bandwagon, tuning their mold to release R33 before 2009 ends.

While these hearsay can’t be confirmed by respective parties, most of the time they emerge as true. We hope that bodyshells especially those which are street, which are meant for drifting market, should be accompanied with standard issue accessories as complete setup.

We look forward to reviews, as well as walkthru, howto, and tutorials, following this magnificent beast. Thankyou to sources of news namely from, driftercentral.com user SNPY.

Gives me hope and some dissapointment.... but i'll try my best to get this...

Exams are near.

Guys, I'm sorry. I know this blog hasn't been updated in weeks...

I'm having exams next week... In fact tmrw.

So i may not have time to update,untill wednesday or friday..

Very sorry for this to happen...

Another grandmother story of another trip..

First Problem

Yesterday went to stargek, with the help of my manual. I asked a guy at stargek with a black tamiya shirt... din't ask for his name.... how do i take out the screw of my front ball diff, which couldn't come out.

Guess what? he told me to look horizontally into the nut. the screw was bent on one side. and because of that, he said that the nut got ceased as a result. and the screw had jammed into the nut, without the screw thread threading the diff screw..... I was Recommended a Spool which just went outta stock a week ago...

Will call next month September asking for it....

All i can do was do was rebuild another one... So off i go scavenging for parts.... made sure everything was in place. I left the place. Halfway through MRT, i just remembered i did not buy a bearing......

By that time, i was at Jurong east.... going back will take me another half hour + another bus trip.... Which by the time stargek would have closed by 3pm....

Second Problem

Not only that, i asked why my shocks leak somehow..... he unscrewed it.... Lol, a crack . Explains ALOT. So i was deciding against a Set of TRF Shocks, or i buy back the CVA Mini shocks and rebuild them... So i bought the CVA ones, and go home and try. If it doesn't work? I'm gonna need to save $90++ + $40. I also saw A set of Unusual Silver TRF Shocks, they wrote flourine coated..... Costs $118.... I rather take the normal Blue smexy TRFs.... and save the money for any more repairs...

Next month, a Spool and Maybe TRF if They don't work..... I still don't know how the hell i managed to jam a screw through a nut without gripping the nut threading....

More Problems...

Wow. look at this, found that the copper strips at endbells are pretty much bent till impossible to undo.See this? Happened last week, this is what happens, when u tighten the diffrential till it is like a spool. It will snap rendering a drift car spinning in its own circle. It won't even go straight.
I have replaced this with Andy's spare one.... need to return him. Hope Tmrw JK will bring it...

Bad month or good month u decide...

Some Bad news, some good news...New rechargeable 2050Mah GP recyko+ batts for my Tx.....
Mounted Wing on my 350z, looks smexy now.....

2nd Update

New F2s, they felt great on the garage running track, though. heard T-drifts feel even better... might try them out soon...Finally, i1'll introduce you to my other 2 shells!!!
A Shell i saved from going into the dustbin. I fell in love with Skyline GTRs since young, i found this near the dustbin. I picked it up and repaired the front lip which gone missing. looks good now though.
This was my first shell, came with nothing but the shell, seems like a rare shell.... placed aluminium foils for lights.... Tamiya Evo 7, which i probably had done better.....
See something missing from my TB03 chassis?
Yep, Bad news. Motor died halfway drifting. what happened was that the brush was missing, probably burned off.... and something is stuck inside preventing from moving it one side... this is wrong... i found that the end bell has 2 copper looking strips rubbing on the endbell, somehow, it went bent, probably because of the brush... i1m not sure.

Mourning the motor.... Letter of Thanks: Sport tuned, even though ur life has ended, i would want to thank you for the power u gave me when i needed during training, the fun i had. it has been a good time spending time with you. Good Bye.

Getting A TZ this weekend.... TRF shocks may have to wait longer.....

A Series of Unfortunate Events....

Motor Died...

Screw at front Diff stripped...

Screw at Rear Diff Broke......

Not having a really good day... i'll update tmrw with pics...

I'll Emo further from now.... T.T
