Upgrades!

Some more goodies coming along.
3Racing Servo Saver, Guess i needed that small increase in speed and precision in my servos.
This is the main course, Square 13T Centre One-way, pushing my cs ratio up to 205%, and disconnects the front wheels from the rear wheels.
Some random bling, TB03D Upgrade Pack Bumper Support, weighs 15g, helps in transition, but at the same time, the blue. ;)
Installed the servo saver, much more precise, but i realise that under high loads, the saver tends to bend..... :S, i think an aluminium one may be one the way.
15g added to my chassis, faster transitions, but sluggish for some reason.
The 2nd last piece of bling i had to scavenge, aluminium suspension mounts, if you guys do remember, it was plastic before.
Impressions, Belt is a little loose as i expected, being 72T, with the calculated teeth at 71T. oh and do you guys spot something? Worn belt in the rear, all the white fonts are gone.
Just a little picture i took out of my phone, this is basically the training track for SPRCD Overdrive drifters, quite big so that we have room for error. PVC is what we use here, even on Overdrive.

Rear Pulley: 30t Square

Other: CS Ratio 2.05

It is much diffrent from my previous 1.68 ratio, such that now the car is now nearly FR, i've had to counter steer all the way, pretty much with full lock, the good thing about having any One Way pulley/Diffrential, is that you will have a hand brake effect, as during braking, it locks up the rear wheels so that it skids, giving more angle. It is realistic as you see 1:1 drifters use it quite frequently for the same reason. It handles pretty well now, I have considered ADDING a Front One Way in front. :S Sounds Crazy? Thats how Chance Circuit/Hobby Stadium, D-Like setup is like.

Delayed pics flight. =.=

Here you go, some stuff i bought.

A new shelf to house my stuff, seems like my cupboard is going to overflow with clothing so this had to come out of it.
New 64 pitch combo, 105T spur with 27T pinion, 6.3 gear ratio, pretty fun to play with.
New settings, near 90 degree upright shocks, using back the springs they gave from the TA05.
Same for what was done to the front, only thing is that this pair of springs came with the spare CVA shock set i bought months ago, so i couldn't cateogrise it anywhere, it isn't even in their catalogue.
Aluminium Tape, to be pasted underneath the chassis plates to prevent scratches. I have cut out the layout, just planning whether to cut the small tiny holes for the screws. :S

Mounted my older AE86 shell, seems to be in a pretty nice stance.
Monster Energy, I like this logo alot. Ok, first of all, how did this black box come about...
One of my friends damaged his box, so he received compensation in another form a replacement box, so i saw it and it was still more than usable to me, so i took it home. At least it solves the problem of bringing the Huge HyperTeam Bag.... and getting checked by the MRT staff... =.=
Alright, this is a small part of what i have. Expect this July's Update tmrw. Cheers. :)
Still sad about this year's World Cup results though....
