Well I had a heap of fun, and I hope you all did too! There were about 3 people that came without RC's because they'd broken them... oh well! Next time!

Everyone seemed pretty happy with the location, even though it was a bit of a drive for some. It is out of the way, noone complains, and noone will ask us to move on.

This, and qwux has a small supply of track-making equipment (along with my newfound collection of nursery plant pots), which makes it much better than just freestyle drifting.

Someone took photos, so i'm sure they will put them up, and the video will be up in a little while! (on the SRCD forums)

Future RC drifting will be announced on the SRCD forums, and not on SAU, so be sure to sign up if you're keen for the next one!

Yeah, this meet was very good I must say... nice to see members organizing stuff outside of the usual circle of things ;)

Sorry I couldn't stay, as mentioned, just started a new business and had to attend to that. Will make more of an effort for the next meet :(

OK; after going to this meet and speaking with a few mates I've decided to invest some pennies in a new RC car ;)

HPI RS4 Evo3 - Base Car

Stage D Kit - Turns Base Car into Drift King

I can't believe I'm going to spend $800 on a toy!

Disappointed... went into Hobbyco in the city and told them I wanted not 1 but 3 of the same kits! They said they sold out about 2 weeks ago!!!

And get this, to bring them in from the states, it's going to cost me $150 more each!!!! f**k THAT!

Damn Americans and their expensive overatted products! But you guys have to go watch that video on their site, it'll make anyone want this toy car!

good day. great fun

dingo again sorry bout your car, but remeber i wasnt driving it then.

hahahah I dont blame anyone but me for the crash. My cars a p.o.s anyhow. Next event ill just put maccas trays under the rear wheels of the charade :lol:

Try Rc hobbies on Parra road at Petersham. They stock alot of HPI stuff and are a bit cheaper that HobbyCo. Or just order direct from their site www.rchobbies.com.au.

Guys, yes, we still do meets, and it's all organised on the SRCD forums:

http://srandy.com:82

That URL is temporary until the proper domain name is usable.

Meets, and RC drift discussion happens here.

We were in Bankstown two weeks ago!

Next meet will probably be on the Northern Beaches, then somewhere halfway between Bankstown and the NB.

We're also looking at doing an event at Windsor RC track, and possibly entering in this years AutoSalon RC drift.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
