Hey guys

I am selling my R/C drift car because I want to buy myself a New computer so the hobby has to go!! This car is only 3 weeks old and I have reciepts for OVER $800 dollars for it but Im willing to let it go at a non negotiable $450 dollars which is peanuts for this car, its almost not worth even selling it but I need the extra $$$. Heres everything, the car is completely set up for drift and puts on a spectacular show.

Its a current model Tamiya TT01- I hand built it. It was the Raybrig NSX 2003 JGTC race car kit. Absolutely stunning detailed shell.

I have two shells for it. The drift shell is a real head turner. Its a HPI S15 200sx with minimal authentic decals.(it even has a front mount) This is a Nismo Endorsed bodyshell and its painted in a Transclusent Violet/pink. I get gatherings of ppl crowd around me at tracks to have a look at it.

The NSX is a geniune 2003 RAYBRIG japanese touring car body (JGTC) and is very wide. Its painted in a deep metalic blue and is an absolute stunning bodyshell. Its my good raceshell which i keep aside.

The extras I put in.

Tamiya Ballbearings.

Futaba 230 Electronic speed controller with ABS and reverse.

Futaba T2ER Reciever and Controller with 2 high torque Futaba servos.

Tamiya Super Stock Tz 23 turn motor. This is a brilliant motor, much quicker than a stock 540, loads of torque yet is happy to sit up in the high RPM range.

Tamiya 22 tooth pinion. Higher top speed.

Tamiya Hard springs on rear (white) and medium hard on front (blue). HUGE improvement.

Tamiya Upper arm Kit front and rear. To dial in that camber for the sick drift look.

2 sets of wheels. Grey Volk TE37s and a Pair of Hot White PROLINE nylon wheels - my drift wheels.

Both front and rear differentials have been Locked with Silicone. It is removable but this helps a LOT with traction and control.

1 X 1900 mah Ansmann Batt pack.NI-CD

1 X 3000 mah Ansmann Batt pack.NI-MH

1 X Ansmann ACS 67P+ Microprocessor controlled Charger. Charges in about 1 hour. Microprocesser controlled so wont overcharge and damage the batteries. Can be plugged into wall or into cigar lighter in car for charging.

Tyres.

Tamiya Soft Slicks and a set of the latest Yokomo Radial Drift tyres (without the plastic ring crap).

Ive got a heap of spares too - screws and bolts, a brand spanking new Tamiya 540 motor, Mechanical 3 way speed controller, Soft springs, and a few more bits and pieces. The chassis is in new condition.

You wont get a better deal on a Setup like this for under $800 and Im letting it go at 450. Ive put a lot of time into this car and immensely enjoyed running it. It attracts crowds of ppl that go - how the **** do u get it sliding so easily. It suspension is setup for drift, however, whack the slicks on , change the camber settings and it is a really impressive track weapon, lots of the Nitro guys have actually commented to me about how well its setup.

As a bonus If anyone wants it intersate I will post it free of charge!! This is ur chance to get into the latest hobby craze!! I will otherwise advertise it on Ebay or in the melb trading post and it will be snapped up easily for the price.

To put into perspective - U cud buy a new Yokomo Kit for around $450 dollars plus which wud include a less detailed body, without the motor, paint, batteries, charger, reciever with controller or a electronic speed controller.

Let me know by email. BTW all the car comes nice and new in its original box!

Hey guys

Yes of Course its electric. There pretty much the only cars that you can drift precisely. Nitros just dont cut it when it comes to drifting.

I have to get my hands on a Digi cam and take some pictures so please bear with me.... I live in Melbounre.

Thanks guys

Kim

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
