Yea that wouldn't surprise me, aslong as it all arrives in one piece, havnt had issues with em in the past but this is my first big order in terms of quantity so hopefully they dont miss things etc

total post came to 50USD which..is a bit odd since i swear ive added other products in the past and it was more.. but hey ho Sileighty was chosen as a homage to a good friend who competes in the BDC with one only thing i cant get a hold of is a trackstar programming card...hopefully someone at the club has one..sure they will Servo and transmitter choices , the sanwa mx v i know for a fact is good, ive always been a ko propo guy but i couldnt justify it to be honest, and the servo, bit of research the coreless vs brushless thing, it matters more for those in helicopters n planes where gyros and that thing known as wind come into play, they get a lot more strain so brushless is better in those respects, so for surface stuff bit overkill for what it is.

I Just bit the bullet and i feel a bit sick oh well .. 1 x Pandora RC NISSAN Sileighty S13 1/10 RC Drift 195mm Clear Body USD$25.90 1 x Overdose Real RC Body Catch Set USD$15.90 1 x MST CS-R Tire 2WD RWD Hard 2pcs USD$7.60 1 x MST FR-F Tire Hard 2pcs USD$7.60 1 x MST Wheel Weighting Ring 6.9g 2pcs USD$8.70 1 x MST Tire O-Ring 8pcs USD$4.30 2 x MST Aluminum 3 Wires Clamps Black USD$24.20 1 x MST 77SV Wheel Offset +5 Copper USD$12.50 1 x MST Universal Servo Saver Set USD$7.60 1 x Power HD High Speed Digital lineary Servo 6V 7KG 0.06Sec $31.90 1 x Sanwa MX-V 3Channel 2.4Ghz FH2 Radio USD$79.00 And from hobbyking 13.5t and 80amp esc trackstar combo 6 amp charger zippy 5400mah lipo that will do pig that will do

wouldnt be worth not buying the shell from rcmart as soul rc would be

Scratch that got near enough all the same stuff in my RCMART cart and its

yea you end up getting shafted with nearly 100 dollars of shipping

Currently got this in my soul rc shopping cart though i am not amused by all the "in stock" ..then going to the basket to say its back order O_o anyway FR-F Tyre Hard wheel weighting pair CS-R Tyre Hard RWD pair LM select able offset wheels 2x Acuvance wire clamps overdose real body catch set overdose toyota grx130 body shock oil, 10wt and 80wt tyre o rings tyre foam total

no problem low profile it is. so the kit doesnt come with the up right mounts? fair enough. electrics wise im racking my head im half tempted just to buy a turnigy trackstar 80 amp turbo esc and 13.5t motor

I did wonder if up front was the case as the wheels arent driven, would make sense. regarding the servo can you lay it stood up on the plastic version of the car, only seen it done on the VIP kits. oh im no stranger to weighing cars, had to do it quite a lot when doing touring cars, but the effect is very different if the wheels are weighted, putting more weight up front wont cure ...for example the inner wheel not carrying any speed when making a turn which then will make you spin. not so much an issue when all wheels are driven.

Reason for wheel weights is that it gives the wheels momentum rather than just loading weight up the front example.

Hi all. my local club now has a rather large number of drifters ...handy! so im gonna join in. ive ordered a FXX-D S RWD chassis from RCMart for i think

Well that was weird i took the g27 apart so i could see how it works...bit simple but oh well. i was putting it back together and it wasnt calibrating properly going full left n right and then stays full left.. usually its due to a broken wheel recorder or something or rather, however mine was fine, turns out you need to make sure all the gears are in a very particular place...stupid thing lol :/

Ah good i was going to say was the rotation settings changed but i thought it might reset itself back to 900 on every fresh start up like the g27 does..guess not, at least it was that and not something faulty..result id be awful at truck simulator id end up causing mayhem for no reason what so ever lol

was it described faulty?

Ahh okay gotcha when im ready to go FPV id probably budget in a oculus rift anyway, get it all at once since the headset wont cost the earth.

I assume you have FPV goggles hooked up some what?

welll oculus is set to cost around

oh my word thats incredible. Well for now at least im happy with whats going on GT6 but next on the agenda is definitley a PC with oculus rift and project cars and assetto corsa i lost my **** when he poked his head out of the window on project cars lol

Manji'ing as it called is no fun but it was a good example of what i was trying to say with the wheel rotation speed. in fact doing that is frowned upon in championships. Get marked down as a result. But now ive gotten to grips with it all and its "clicked" so they say, the g27 will be staying put. also looking into a frex handbrake to add to it at some stage. I have no idea how long till gran turismo 7 comes out but ill cross that bridge in due course. did find it odd how doing some sessions on a lower rotation setting has ended up making 900 degrees make more sense, in fact now easier O_o very strange..well i am odd but there we go. In terms of racing i am still doing that lol. I really enjoy historic and rally racing on gran turismo, great fun and the rallying is frantic fantastic, bit of a thrill with all the force feedback, sliding around a corner with a audi quattro going full chat alongside with you, crazy stuff. Moments like that is why i stopped playing shooting games etc.

I think there is definitely a case of "bad workman blames his tools" going on ive been sticking with the same car, fiddling with settings, what works what doesnt. And ive gone back to 900 degrees of rotation and im actually doing fine, even pulling hand brake initiations successfully. I have managed to dial out the nasty random snapping and also come to the realisation once you are juggling the wheel, its going to go wrong, much like it is with the real cars, you can recover if going onto a straight, but if you are mid drift you just have no where to go. I guess its a case of practise really does make perfect but car tuning in terms of the suspension is definitely something to take into account. as even switching to say, sports hard tyres ill start snapping all over the place and its no fun, on the right tyres and a bit of fiddling of anti roll bars etc and i can actually drift consistently, its the first time where i have sat there and gone "yup thats made a difference" where as before i was like "what the eff has that done?" car in question? a turbo'd triumph spitfire lol, im constantly skidding at around 60mph which is what id be doing with the dual shock 3 so im happy with that. So yea, bad workman blames his tools. On a side note it will be interesting to see what happens when i get behind the wheel of a car again skidding more often.

Heres a perfect example The T300 has the same belt driven innards so is same speed but youll notice the wheel turns at the same speed as the game, basically, being very realistic. the g27 just cant keep up even with a terribly set up nissan the snapping isnt a issue as the wheel can go lock to lock fast enough. 20 seconds in demonstrates that perfectly, with a g27 you would of spun out. and to add insult to injury this is all with the naff physics the game came out with. Shame the g27 cant keep up as its a great bit of kit providing you dont drift lol. yea i could learn to fling the wheel n help it to get to lock but that isnt natural that isnt what im doing in a real car. so with that i think t300 is on the cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXmI_zP1LC8

didnt know they worked with logitech pedals thats good then. i did some more tinkering with settings also found out how to reduce the rotation now..before you think i changed it down to silly 200 degrees, i went to i think 630 which is the second highest before 900 degrees on the g27. its made drifting a lot easier in a sense that i am not chasing opposite lock which requires inhumane speed (hence why we let the cars castor spin the steering wheel for us) and it hasnt detracted for the experience. so for now the g27 will more than suffice. Just a case of fiddling with the cars suspension to try and dial out the snap backs, or at least make em more manageable, i reckon if i had a faster wheel and a handbrake wired in they wouldnt be so much an issue but hey ho.

Is it me or is the g27 on gt6 very slow to self centre I watched a t300rs and it self centres so quick. I dunno if its gt6 or the g27 ill plug it in my pc and see if its quicker on lfs etc. In terms of racing its fine but with drifting where you want the self centring its not there and you end up wrestling the wheel, not much fun and makes using the hand brake nigh impossible Think i may invest in a t300 at some point

few pictures i took official stuff will come soon, not sure how long it takes
