I have a Carson Attack 1/5th scale. It has boost bottle, pod filter, power pipe. It rips up all the grass with the chunky tyres. I also have a smaller road car with nitrous engine at the moment it has conduit glued over some old wheels and drifts nicely only its a ford shell.

I ain't in SA but I do have a HPI 5T & a 5B. The 5T has had $1000's spent on it. I am sponsored by RC Buggie's and race at SOLS track in Sydney! Wicked cars these 1/5th scales.

Drop by on AUSRC forum, check out my build thread and say gday!

I have a yokomo drift package, spectrum 2.4ghz radio gear running nosram speed controller and yokomo D1 15 turn motor, i use to go to hobbie habit on a weekly basis for the wednesday drift night and then the comps that followed id be keen to bust out my R/C and go for a skid its been a while :)

we have a few vids on youtube firs one is

Twins rc Drift

and second one was

RC Drift Mix

were put together by my mate tom was good fun

mine is the Gold BNR32 in Twins RC drift

and the yellow 180sx in Rc drift mix. :)

I got a Yokomo drift package with a few shells: R32, Chaser, AE85, S15, Nomuken R34. Standard :) And its f**king fun. Havent pulled it out in a while tho!

The only bad thing is, if there are others there with Yokomo packages, fair chance some of us will have the same frequencies :(

I have no problem with Frquency as my car are locked to my own personal frequency.

I have a spectrum and top of the range remote so never have a problem.

I have a yokomo drift pacage with Spectrum win win :)

Go the spectrum 2.4ghz :) no more interfierance problems for us :)

And for all there is an RC drift comp on 2moz arvo at hobby Habbit starts at 5:30 for any one who wants to have a go

or just come see what this nonsense is all about. my self and a few of my mates will be there.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
