  1. I'm running Skyrc Toro 120a Esc with Skyrc ares 10.5t motor. For gyro I'd recommend dlike, onisinki or the new boom racing. Servo go omg all the way. Think I'll be getting the mt4 tx/rx next Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
  2. Yes mate lol just uses friends as drivatars. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
  3. Lower arm mounts, spur and hex's are still standard for now lol Yep, broke one of them myself then went overboard and bought loads of spare ones. Take the little grub screws out of all 4 front arms BTW, they don't do anything apart from weaken the plastic. I'm running mst frf silver dot tyres and just messed about with my setup tbh.
  4. Erm, about that lol went down yesterday, hated my chassis. Got offered a go on a overdose wrap up next frd and it was beautiful. So Yeh, if I'm using my own chassis don't learn from me ;-)
  5. Just try silver dots for a couple of minutes and keep an eye on how hot they get. I've never managed to successfully drift on anything other than carpet with the D4 lol
  6. Hi and welcome to the drift section. It's a good starting point, with them being relatively cheap. I would advise not spending too much money on it as they are a basic starter chassis. If you've bought it for car park bashing it will serve you well but if you are wanting to get into drifting properly I would expect you to upgrade in the near future. Any other questions fire away Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
  7. Bloody hell dude lol that's taken too long haha I've had mine a year now. you need to get down to nrd now, come for a good old slide with me. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
  8. Cheers dude. Its almost there Thats not even got the geometry setup. It will have more lock on the trailing wheel once setup. and yep, free as a bird, dont even need to set end points it even drifts on that lock too, struggles to sometimes but other times will sit on that lock all day long. Ill put some better lock pictures up once ive got it setup properly.

Current spec is as follows Standard front bumper with 3d printed weight tray. 3racing wheels with mst heavy wheel weights. 3racing alloy front lower arms.

Mst adjuster ends. 3racing alloy steering rack. Skyrc gyro (to be replaced.) Savox 1252mg servo (to be replaced) with solid servo arm. 3racing alloy servo mounts.

  10. Will update on the chassis some point soon That's all folks
  11. Wow. So ive not updated since April. How things have changed. Will have to get some pictures of how the chassis is now, very near to being a full usukani build. Here's my current bodyshell. Just got the high res shots through tonight. Its a kazama S15 widebody rocking a 326 power wing, custom one off P1pes Rc exhaust and some 3d printed stuff from steve on here.
  12. I'm up again next weekend dude. You really should come on a Saturday or Sunday lol
  13. Get yourself up to nrd man ;-) Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
  14. Cheers. Yeh I've heard about that. Kinda gutted I'll never get to drift there but ah well. It's no good man, you need to get it out more ;-)
  15. Heres a cheeky little video of a bit of the first run Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
  16. Evening guys. New to crawling and just bought an Rtr deadbolt. Been out for a session on Sunday and I must say I'm impressed, very capable rig straight out the box. Problem is I'm a serial rc modifier and can't resist. So far I've moved the battery to the front and moved the shocks so they have more of a lean. What else is a cheap/free modification to do as I'm looking to spend as little as possible on it. I've seen about drilling the wheels but wanted to do more research before committing to that and also weights in the wheels, what's the best way of doing this? Cheers
  17. evening guys. I'm still around. Still loving it. Drifting as much as I can. Chassis is performing amazing and my new body has won me my first competition. How's everyone doing? Here's a link to my latest video ;-) Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
  18. Bit dead in here. Hows everyone doing?
  19. Cheers mate. I'm in Stafford. NRD is in Wakefield 2 hours away which is where I usually go. Went to radshape for the first time today, track was nice but they could really do with cleaning it more often and sorting the CS guys out who were practically banger racing
  20. Cheers mate. He's a top bloke Dale is, he's currently in the process of trying to sort me some one off parts so hopefully the chassis will be very different to everyone else's only problem is, its way too easy to spend the monies with him lol
  21. Not updated for a while. Since adding the new ESC and motor its been running spot on. Also the mrs has got me the full usukani chassis kit for my birthday which is shock towers, upper and lower chassis decks, front upper bumper, spur mount and rear battery mount plate. Got it all fitted today along with some MST heavy wheel weights put in the front wheels. Back to testing again tomorrow. Here's some pics of how the chassis sits now http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j281/sonic-the-1st/Rc%20stuff/D4%20Build/12670648_10153955697360605_1204238289982646550_n_zpszqdr00xy.jpg[/IMG] http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j281/sonic-the-1st/Rc%20stuff/D4%20Build/12417559_10153955698035605_7638629759982195859_n_zpsj8g8avwf.jpg[/IMG] http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j281/sonic-the-1st/Rc%20stuff/D4%20Build/12718111_10153955697840605_8863053180790663299_n_zpssxp86qvq.jpg[/IMG] http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j281/sonic-the-1st/Rc%20stuff/D4%20Build/12718382_10153955697595605_433962394911776491_n_zpsopvawa6y.jpg[/IMG] That's all folks
