no....

i got out of rc to found my riceline , and just bought one off a mate or 50 bucks , its just an e10 , crappest hpi of all , but for drifting it doesnt matter as much , i got it for 50 bucks , i can get you a mates car the same as myne for 100

but generally speaking you can pick up a nice car second hand for about 250 , if you want a brand new setup , and something pretty descent probly 400 mark , then if you wana get serious , like an mi2 or a cyclone and for a complete brand new setup your punching above the 500-600 dollar mark , thats full carbon belt driven setup.... technicly..not needed , who cares but man just buy one like myne , and have fun it does pretty much the same thing as something with billet an carbon parts , there isnt much difference at all , if you want a car shoot me a text 0421652234 and ill hook you up.

nothing wrong with used cars

im not gona argue about 20 of the 25 cars ive had were used , thats like saying dont buy a used real car?

makes no sense....

so anyway , anyone else?

no...

it's like saying don't buy a used drift car, you wouldn't expect it to be it good condition would you?

if the drift cars that you bought used were in good condition the people you bought them off clearly were not trying hard enough.

also lol.

I'm in the process of selling my setup for $600 to an interested SAU member.

It's been used once and is setup for 1.6 c/s.

Doesn't come with electrics but we can discuss if the buyer would like a ARTR setup.

i bought my cyclone off a guy who drives for hot bodies was setup very well , honestly im not good enough to keep it setup like he had it , i never raced it tho... i have owned my baja for 4 years now thrashed the guts out of it jumped it as big as it would go.. but ive also poured about 6 grand into it

its now for sale fully rebuild with all new bearings and almost new engine , rebuild shocks , diff etc.....

theres thrashing a car and not taking care of it and thrashing a car and having just as much fun keeping it in top nic after you've done killing it

your dribbling...............

real drift cars are mostly drift p igs...

but look at someone like.. mad mikes fd drift rig.... kept in a1 spec...

rc cars are normally ...NORMALLY kept in good nic cause its cheap to do so unlike real cars

i have bought so many second hand rc's

3 e fire storms

cen matrix truggy with lrp .30 in it

2 bajas

rock crawlers

cyclone

losi mini and micro t's

boats...

list goes on , i checked all of them before i bought and the owners kept them in good nic....

so "no" yourself ..........

thankyou :)

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
