Get ready for next track visit

Xray T4 2012 with an old body shell which is overdue to replace, and the Schumacher Atom CC

Axon TC10/3 build #5

Zoo Racing Wolverine Max bodyshell cut and fitted

 

Team C T4 - new tyres

Getting the old car ready for dirt track, new rear rims (from another Schumacher kit) and Sweep tyres

3Racing first generation of Cero Ultra

This chassis has been released for a few years now - and eventually evolved to the latest Cero Zero.

If I would have to start this series, I will start from this Ultra.

Yokomo YZ-870 re release built #3

Completed shocks build, bodyshell and wing cut and fitting

3Racing Cero Zero

Latest version of Cero and it comes with two chassis !!

Yokomo YZ-870 re release built #2

Build was paused for unknown reason since 2024.

Chassis basic was done by then, quickly selected electronics and do the wiring, cut and fit in the bodyshell and under-tray.

Tekin 10.5T motor, with shorty pack, a PowerHD 20kg servo and Viper VTX10 ESC

Motor soldering posts was a bit too high - open a small slit on bodyshell to let the body sit in

Might as well open another slit to let hot air go from the back ...

Tyres are glued

Next is to build shocks, fix servo link, paint the shell. 

Cougar SV on Halus Track

My first time visiting the track, quite fun !

But after 10 years, the tyres are getting harder and worn out.

Need a new set of tyres next. 

Pocher 1/8 917K

Super huge boxes !

Schumacher Mi10

Steel chassis version

RC28 #2

Received the micro servo and continue the project

Mini-Z MA03 Evo2 4WD ready

This is my first Evo2 series, and I have prepared a Flysky micro receiver.

Unfortunately the Noble Pro cannot pair with it with its firmware v1.01 and support only up to Evo.

Use MacBook to backup the transmitter setting and models, but cannot use the same application provided on Mac to upgrade the firmware.

End up found an old Windows 10 laptop to run the "standalone" firmware upgrade to the latest v1.17 firmware, followed by reload the backup transmitter setting. 

Now it can pair and ready to run.

Capricorn LAB C04 235mm

 

Mini Z R8 LMS bodyshell

Found this shell at home and seems it can fit on the MA03 Evo2 chassis

Tested and it fitted !!!

More 1/27 and 1/28

Actually I don't really know much about 1/27 and 1/28. Time to learn. 

RC28 #1

Started the project

But figured out that the Power HD mini servo does not fit

Even my other mini servo (for 1/5 bike brake) is way too big

Time to look for micro servo before continue the project

IF15 run

I realised that I ran it last in 2021 !!!

5 years ago.

Engine still can start, but after two tanks, one of the rear dog bone ate into the gear diff outdrive and damaged it.

FW05RR maintenance

Ran the car a couple of times recently, and resolved a few issues so far - mid bridge bearings hub, 2-speed shaft, bearings on rear bearing hub .... now the front gear box problem.

Brake disc damaged too - ordered replacement parts. Still like this car a lot and shaft drive on-road is rare. 

Tamiya Porsche 934 - 50th Anniversary Edition

My first box arrived !

Yet another RC10, but slightly different this time

RC10 Retro 80s, equiped with a different rear suspension arms this time, and a body shell which saluates to its RC competitor

Tamiya Ford XLT

 

RC day with Xray X4 with 4.5T mod and ARC A10 23' with 17.5T blinky

So far 4 packs with the A10, and happy with its initial setup. It is now using the same AMB unit and tyres from X4. 

I still need to learn how to setup X4 for mod motor, and make it more easy to drive. And somehow the AMB always report broken records for a 5 mins run.

I moved the same AMB from X4 to A10, and run on same track - clear 5 mins record on Speed Hive without breaking. 

A puzzle ... 

Axon TC10/3 build #4

ESC installed - this time is Orca Totam 100amp stock ESC

The ESC is solid metal which is thin and small footprint, however, it has a few wire connection including the on/off switch ... which end up make it look a bit messy.

PGU Nu

First time ever I have 100+ pages on static model kit manual

ARC A10 23' #4 (completed)

This is done with the bodyshell

Next is to wait for a good sunny day and test it out

Spur from 3Racing

Think I never try this brand of spur before, it has some sign of being produced by CNC. It has an offset which help to fit in narrow space of mid motor mount. 

Will test it on Xray X4 next

Axon TC10/3 build #3

The arms are combined of both alloy plates and graphite plates, and a super simplified design of anti-roll bar connection point.

Chassis built completed, pending shocks build

Top 16kg servo and a HW juststock 13.5T motor this time.

MFH 1/12 F40

 Finally a 1/12 F40 in the market after so many years ...
