Another cool circuit.

Another really cool circuit in Japan... I am loving the two way traffic. (6:05-6:30ish is awesome check out the passes!)

just found it online.

just saw this on youtube. Looks like a FF, but still looks like it has some cool action shots.
Not even sure what language it is...LOL

Out of hibernation

I just pulled my car out of hibernation for an upcoming track event on the 20th...
So I decided to bring out an old S14 shell out of hibernation as well. This body with all the lights, seems to work a lot better then my smoke chaser body. I think it's because it a lot more weight up front...


Can't wait to do a little more driving with them both!

This weekend's Arai session

Looks like I missed out on anther fun track. But the guys at Arai are really tearing it up now with the countersteers. This happens to be Robsta driving Katsumi's custom front engine Yokomo CGM...AWESOME CS Action!

Dear Santa,

Happy Thanksgivings everyone!

Since it is the Holidays, I figure it's a good time to review what Countersteer Drifters would want for Christmas.

Yokomo D-Max, HPI/HB TC-D, and Alex Racing CER

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!

MIT, counter-steer - NICE!

Not sure what mods are made, and I know I don't dig the music, but the CS is looking good...

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.

D-MAX!!!

Wow, not sure about all the details, but SLIPPER Clutch! Looks like a rear wheel drive. Awesome!!! (my post back in Aug. Dmax)

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.
