She is back... CS Driftmaster LE
We'll she is back... My Yokomo CS Driftmaster LE has been striped, cleaned and reassembled with some new and improved parts. During the rebuild I add new 2mm CVDs in the front and back. I also added the new 1.5 rear CS gears from Yokomo.
But in addition to the new parts I have decided to try some new shock oil and springs, as well as moving some of the electronics more forward in the chassis. I am hoping these small changes help.
I guess well just have to see...
Another cool thing is I just recieved a set of D-Like 11T Real Drift Setting Gears! Whoo-hoo!. I figure, even though the gear ratio front to rear is about the same as the Yok 1.5, I give them a try next. I think this set-up might be easier to gear anyways....
Super light aluminum, very clean CNC... cool!

HPI TC-D
And here is another look at the HPI TC-D...looks promising too.
(nice find Ulyz)
This gear sounds pretty good to me. From my test, I seem to like 1.65 range. So sounds prefect.

Time for a Full Rebuild of the CS DM
I haven't gotten a chance to play in quite a while, so I thought I might as will do a full rebuild. I have been waiting for a while and now that I have the new Yok 1.5 CS gear set and the new Yok 2mm CVDs, I might as well redo everything.
Now I am really wondering if I should go for a front engine conversion???
In this image I striped the chassis pretty much clean.
Here was my progress from this morning.
And this is what it looked like before I started.

Shaft Drive Conterster !!!
Wow, just saw Katsumi's new video of his front engine SD with the new Yok 1.5 CS gears. It is looking good. Now I am wondering if I should consider doing a front engine conversion on my LCG???
Awesome Katusmi!
