A Mini Drift Event was held at Ulu Pandan CC on 24th July 2010.
Lol @ the pure Oridoness, on the first pic. Large angles at the entry of a sweeper.
Saniy aka Orido-san, followed by Samuel Tan, Me and lastly Justin Wong.
Zhirong's Fully Hop up TT01, With 3Racing and Yeah Racing bits, With Active Hobby Front Motor Conversion Kit and the 1.44 Countersteer Kit. Word has it that This car is using a Front One way. It does countersteer well, and shows really that the TT01 has nearly no limits considering there is so much aftermarket around this chassis.
And
Some pictures and stuff i find a little amusing.
This is my front ball diffrential section, after a Ulu Pandan Drift Meet on 24/7/2010.
As you can see, the amount of dirt and dust, or maybe you would call it muck accumulated is as though it had gone through a rally. lol.
It was a pain in the ass to clean it out. As the ball diff grease had worn off, leaving the balls to be dropping everywhere, and giving me performance that was not satisfactory.
Dismantled all and regreased everything. The second picture would be the before and after the cleaning process.
Now this is what i call a real drift meet, where your car doesn't comeback the way u took it there! Look at the dust.it was difficult to brush off, i had to use a vacum cleaner to suck the damn thing.
Now look, the amount of wear on the front and rear tyres. uneven eh? Seems like an overdrive ratio of 2.05 would also mean a 2.05x more wear on the rear tyres. Epic lol.
Overall, this is how dirty it really is. But it was a good experience though, having to have ventured to somewhere i have not gone before. The place was great, with an community centre event going on, and Drift Garage was there as well. There was a Small drift competition which happened among all the Overdrive drifters, which i came in Second, with Top Qualifying. I had not much time to prepare as i woke up late at 7.30. I felt i did not deserve my result, as my settings were not done right at all. Partly what helped was the Rear Stabiliser, which kept me from over angling the car. I really do need to try harder, and get a new Transmitter as well. :S
Credits of the first 3 photos go to Alan Tay who was there at the event. Would like to thank him for the photos, but i was not able to track down his facebook profile again......
This below section may be ignored, but i really need to clarify this. I know there has been people who are not happy with the way i do up my car, such that it has been so called "dirtied" by third-party parts. Firstly, this Square TA05 has been what i wanted to do since i started my RC journey, and it was not easy. I had to source out parts to fit the car, lots of trial and error on the belts. I had put in my utmost effort and passion into this car, and i really don't give a damn about how u think of my car as something shitty. I couldn't care less if u find my car insensible and do not agree with me.
I do have friends who jokingly irritate me, and i could understand. But i know that among the viewers of this blog there will be some people who despise me, I know the consequences of having third-party parts, as being unreliable and easily broken. Take some time and think, why do you play RC Drifting? For the love of the sport? or to show how rich u really and how TAC legal? Which car in D1Gp, Formula D, or the British Drift , Championship, Or any goddamn street car out there is tuned by the brand themselves? None.
Being 90% hop up or modified doesn't give you the result u really want. Its your hand skill. Not how big you can burn your pockets. This is how i think in my life, and if you really think that bad mouthing me behind may back can go unheard, you are very wrong. This is why i am writing this, to clarify all the doubts and misunderstanding u have around me.
I hope this doesn't offend anyone. And Have a Nice Day!
HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!!
I'm back. Her you go, Yokomo 180SX on Gramslight 57D over Street Jam.
Wicked stance.
Intercooler position fail. :(
Little sticker.
Hehehe, guess what i hopped up yet?
Sweet butt i have.
Spot the mistakes.
Clear windows ftw.
My fingerprints. Damn it.
Yokomo shells are the best, proper details, everything is proper and nice.
Futaba S9551 Servo. Bought this as a servo upgrade. came at a huge discount over the 9451 which i wanted. Slower, but i like it better it being slow. fast servos will not go along with my playing style.
Quite small from what i can see.
YAY! My Brand new KO PROPO EX-10 Eurus. Fits so nicely.
Now whats in the back? Its a setting module to set the servos. Wow. Thats a first time i'm hearing it.
Quite a nice box. With my favourite colour combination. Black and orange.
Module and the manual.
Woot. Brand new fresh and the beautiful EX-10 unveiled.
R902-FS Module. Newest gen module from KO Propo. 200% faster than its Helios brother.
Lastly, The receiver. Wow. Look at it. Its puny. 1/4 the size of my current receiver.

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.
