RC-cars

[CircusMonkey]

Anyone into tuning and racing RC -cars?

We do get together once a month in a basement, were we have built a track and race for laughs.

Mini-Z indoor cars mainly.

I used to be heavily into racing when I was a teenager - mainly electric powered stuff (indoors) with a circuit made from filled fire hoses. Entered quite a few tournaments and did pretty well.....

I have a Tamiya R/C car here, but rarely use it.

Besides a 4 year old boy +RC car= broken RC car

Shame because if I had more time to race I have a decent sized, specially built race track not more than 10 minutes from place...

I used to be well into it. Had a GT0 101-B carbon chassis 4WD job (Track) And a Schumacher Fireblade Evo buggy. Both 1/10 scale, and both faaast. Won quite a few races.

I was really into R/C as a kid. Still have one that I race at my local track and empty carparks for kicks, nothing competitive just a few friends racing. Had a huge crash in April and I'm almost finished fixing it up. I have an old Tamiya TGX chassis(and 350Z body) with OS15CVX engine with all the possible hop-hup options. Can hit 90 km/h with the tall gearbox. A pic:

Hello,

I would love to get together with you guys for some fun.

The problem is, my RC can't go straight, it's a drift RC. :Oops:

OOops no what I meant was to me there is ONLY drifting RC cars... none of this off road or circut rubbish

I use a tamiya t04 chassis with a nomuken skyline r34 shell, a 1 way front diff, locked rear diff, remove the sway bars and running pvs tubing for tyres. This is the standard setup here.

Here are some pics of the track and the guys I stuff around with here (yes that is the D1 driver Kuroi LOL) When we arent out drifting we are usually at Radio Tengoku (sad I know)

ps. Please ignore the shocking pics of me

Looks like you're gonna bust out with an English lesson or something! hahaha well done

[x2shy]

w00t! I have a t03-f with a Kure R33 shell.

Oh, and a 34 bash shell.

i was looking at this pic and it looks so familiar, i forgot that we have a pic together hehehe.

[yukz2daizzo]

i was reading what i posted earlier and it didnt make any sense to me, anyways to make things clear heres the pic.

[monzaro]

is the pics that where linked are the "tyres" hard plastic for drifting, like a poly pipe ?

[Streeter]

monzaro - yeah... they also do all kinds of silly stuff like mount lighter flints into the piping so you get sparks when you are drifting also they get those drift yokomo tyres and take the plastic rings off and mount fencing wire instead LOL

The setup of the cars sounds simple but its actually quite tricky to get the right balance between oversteer and understeer.

Too much understeer and obviously the car is just ploughing everywhere, but too much oversteer and the car isnt controllable.

RC doughnuts!
