A little preview

Yes! Here it is, My TA05 V2.

Currently Empty, i have in mind to get a HPI Drift Meister+ My MC330CR for it....
Reasonable amount of bling.

IFS Carbon Damper Stay ;) Oh, and TB Evo 5 rear uprights.


Currently, after analysis, i realised that the TA05 V2 will not fit the conversion kits, because, the TA05 uses a wider front bumper, the 3 screws attaching to it is further apart. there's only one way to solve this, which is that i need to find the B Parts for the TA05 and its 100% ready.

Parts required:
TA05 Aluminium Joints
TA05 Direct Coupling
46mm Steel Swing shafts
Universal Joint assembly set
TA05 Wheel Axle
Square TA05 Countersteer Kit
Square SP Drift Conversion SDC-101 or 3racing Carbon Fibre Conversion.

Thats my plans for the TA05. *Happy face*


Heres how My TB03D sits now... Total Weight: 1501g
Messy :(

Nice and Low! :D 5mm Clearance in rear, guess how much in front? LOL.

Now, a nice brotherly picture of them together. Just so if u guys didn't know, the TB03 was the shaft version of the TA05 V2. 70% of the parts are interchangeable.

I'm betting they are dying to run together. lol.

Alright, i think i will give you guys a little confession. I'm not very headstrong, and always have hard brutal hours of thinking to make a decision. Currently, I'm still sitting on the fence of whether i want to concentrate full time on Counter steer drifting. Mostly because, it is a new trend, and it will take a pretty long time to tune it. it can range from a few weeks to up to 4 Months. which could probably mean my resignation from normal drifting, and it could result in leaving my TB03D to collect dust(I hate this kinds of situations... I'm still not mentally ready for it, having doubts about my skills. I'll leave this decision to after my exams which are coming next week, most likely till after the SGDrifters Challenge 2010.

Just so you know, I'm in the AWD class for it. Ok, thats all. Bye!

New Plans.

Ok guys, there is no updates for a month for a few reasons.
1. My Brushless has cropped up major problems, glitching, having sudden bursts of full throttle.
2. My Exams are near, and i have probably 1 hour atmost like now to drop by and look about.
3. And, i have not gotten any new stuff, so Yeah.

As you guys may know, i have bought over a TA05 V2. Which i have plans to convert to either Drift or a full-on Caron Fibre Kit. Below are the two pictures of each of my plans:

Do let me know in the poll in the side bar :)

3Racing Carbon Fibre:

Square TA05 SP Conversion Kit:
Alright that is all for Febuary, and i'll see you guys soon in March, bye!

And Oh, Happy Chinese New Year! And a belated Valentine's day!

New brushless came in. ZTW 8.5T Sensored.
Motor, ESC... Not soldered yet, will find time to do so.
Program Card and manual, interesting thing is, it can be configured using a PC.
Yeah Racing Dark Drifter Light Kit for the below pictured.... :)
Gamble's Lexus GS400, 60% completed of Orido's Aristo.
Stickers in the rear is very accurate.
The side view decals are also around 80% done, only 2 pieces of them are missing, i will go find them.
Toyo Tires ftw!!!
Thing is, He gave me a REALLY GOOD Deal, with light buckets and side mirrors. It could have easily gone for $60+. Condition was EXTREMLY Clean, only tiny scratches. Will be using this for the Pre-HPI Challenge Briefing trial run....... Cya guys.

SP Open House!

SPRCD had one of the biggest places in the largest event this year. It was placed right in the front of SP!


SPRCD 2nd day.
Some stuff we did, demonstrations, and the infamous All-Yokomo-Trend



Oh, and i bet most of you guys will remember this car... its Nov aka Alan! SP Alumnist in Action!







Well , heres to sum up the whole 3 days! A Video will come up soon!

Very sorry for the long no update.

Yep, I apologise for not being able to update that frequently. Its almost new year and theres no new post...

I'm very sorry. I have just moved house, have not done finish my homework, still have a pretty messy place.

I also can't find my camera for some reason, i'll try to find it by tmrw and hopefully a post will go up.

For those New to RC Drifting.

These are the proper steps to learn drifting. made by our very own Baka drifter, Kido Seishirou.



Brief introduction to what SPRCD is like....

Sorry for the long no update of my blog. New stuff!

TRF Shocks from a TB02D from JK, bought it for $45...... Allows me new tuning, and more precise options. Like them alot. That blue bling too.
This was done weeks ago, so to show how bad a brush motor can get dirty.
Those black stuff are actually dirt and grime from 2 months. There are small goubles in the black stuff which are not very visible unless i swivelled the liquid. they seem to be the wastage of brushes caught in the armature.

My trusty Trinity Motor cleaner!
Last but not least, the most important of my blog. My new Lipo!

Specs:
Acorn Racing
4200Mah
30C (abit of an overkill for drifting, have seen a 40C before)

This Lipo provides a hell lot of power and punch. Sometimes, i can even see the sparks from burning brushes about 4m away. Have to switch down EPA on my transmitter to 80.

ESC gets hot shortly after. Probably because of the 30C...

Lipo beeper needed.(Buzzing is very soft) may need to get a louder one..
