THE ERA OF FRONT MOUNTED MOTOR

Nowdays the front mounted motor is the new trend of rc drifting. There are a lot of conversion n pre-made front mounted chassis out there. The main purpose is to get more balanced chassis thus better handling.
From my experinces i got from using tt01d n HSP Vantex is that...both handles ok but when im on the straights n pressed on full-throttle, the cars didn't go straight but the back tend to slide alittle to the side where the engine is located. I asked the pros n they said its normal n there r a few ways to prevent this:-
1. use softer spring at the back
2. adjust ur spring at an x-position which means when the front-left end has the same spring with the back-right n the front-right has the same with back-left.
3. don't use full-throttle *i think the best solution
4. use belting chassis

but... there is a better way!! THE FRONT MOTOR CHASSIS!!
If im not mistaken the first drift chassis with a front mounted motor is the HPI E10 drift.
Then Hpi built a professional version of the E10 called "PRO-D"

here are some pics of the front conversion n front mounted motor chassis...

My new drift chassis!!!

Finally I own anew chassis and it is the....TAMIYA TA05 VDF. I have been dreaming about this chassis sicnce i first saw it on the internet. Well I haven't assemble it yetand I am hoping to do that in November. I really can't wait to run it :D Well here are some pics of the box and I. I only took pics of the box...sorry but i will post the chassis pics as soon as I assemble the chassis.

CounterSteer RC Drifting

HAI :)
It has been a while since I updated this blog. Well for that I'm really sorry, I've been very busy and will still be busy until the November. I have not played my RC for a while now huhuhu, I hope all that will change after November.

Well as you guys can read from the title of this post, Im going to talk about CS rc drifting. What I've noticed it that this kind of rc drifting is growing in a tremendous rate around the world. Could this be the next big thing?? I hope so I watched a few videos of it in youtube and it looks like a lot o fun. I would like to try in one day. Well I hope this trend will start to grow in Brunei, well I had a few of my friends that had strated to search for the perfect set-up for Countersteering. It seems like it had started to grow yipeeee!! hahaha

Thats all for now, don't forget to check this blog after november for updates.
Thanks for reading :D

Saying goodbye to another li-po batt...

Just now i found out that my YR 5000mAH li-po batt was connected to the esc. Apparently it has been like that for a few days and when I check it...the part of the hard casing had slightly opened up. I decided to open it and check wether the battery had expand sevearly but I failed to open it.
Soooo...( here comes the bad part) I used a small screw driver to open it. While trying to open it I saw a spark the a lot of smoke came out of the battery. I panicked and threw the batt outside. To prevent any explosion in the house.I watched sadly as the smoke kept coming out for a few minutes. For sure I know the batt is no longer can be use. I went out to check it out and I saw this!!!.... :'-(
