B-Max4 Factory from Osaka !








Just completed my new toy - BMax4 Factory kit which I bought from Osaka.
Build quality and optional parts come with the kit are great, value for $$.
I moved the Futaba 9450 servo from my BD and plan to use Sanwa 451 rx and LRP SXX TC-Spec with a Team Power 8.5R motor !
The kit also come with 3 different wings for downforce adjustment and full set of rims, inserts and tires. Drive train has a bit of click sound which I believe it will go away after initial run-in. Yokomo has more than 25 years of experience of making 4WD buggy, what can be wrong ?

Kyosho RB5




Just completed my RB5 and it will be ready to run on boxing day if weather allows.
It is all stock from the box, with a set of JConcepts front and rear green dot tires. It is equipped with a Futaba 9450, Sanwa 2.4GHz rx, Hobbywing 120A sensored ESC and SpeedPassion v3 11.5R motor (different than the one in the picture which is a Team Power 8.5R).
First time for me to use brushless system on 2WD buggy, I plan to start with final gear ratio 7.51.

Photon first run !












I bought the kit date back to June but only managed to complete the build and setup over last week. First test run today with LRP SXX and Speed Passion 11.5R. Final gear ratio at 5.13 with a Protoform LCR body shell. Overall very stable car but I would need a bit more aggressiveness especially on stock class. Will need to tune a bit more in the next few weeks time.
Quality of the kit is good and I enjoy the test run today !

Atomic VM2 Ready for track












Got my VM2 ready - it has been a while since I held this kit in my RC store and all my other friends either have it built or ran it already. It took me one week, from a Sunday to the following Sunday to complete the kit, body shell, electronics installation.
Now it is all ready to hit the track.
It is equipped with Ride Accord mini body, f/r anti-roll bar, graphite chassis and upper deck, Speedpassion GT 2.0 ESC and a Team Power 8.5R short base BL motor.
Will see how it goes next week.

XXX-4 Ready !















Just run the car with a SpeedPassion 7.5R motor, speed is ok but not able to jump as good as my XXX-T 2WD truck, maybe not enough acceleration ... will have to adjust the gear ratio to try again. Overall fun and easy to control in corners ;)

M11X finally !



My current M8 with Spektrum module is still in good shape after these years of usage. I just added a M11X to share the work load of the M8 ;) The all new M11X has built in 2.4GHz module and come with the small Sanwa rx.
Plan to use it on my TOP Photon and F104Pro.

Losi XXX-4





Just completed the chassis build up of the Losi XXX-4, pending for electronics installation and body painting. The new local off road track is ready and more people are joining the dirt-side ;)

Team Losi XXX-T MF Edition


























Busy at work and not updating my RC blog for a while ... still running RC almost every week tho.





Latest work is the Losi XXX-T which I got since 2001 but remained unbuilt. There will be a new off road track by end of May, few more weeks to go and I just got my truck ready.





Still using my M8 with Spektrum, installed a Futaba 9450 and eZrun 35A brushless system with 3932kva motor. Not sure what is the starting point of gear ratio and will go test it out today.
