Well I had a heap of fun, and I hope you all did too! There were about 3 people that came without RC's because they'd broken them... oh well! Next time!

Everyone seemed pretty happy with the location, even though it was a bit of a drive for some. It is out of the way, noone complains, and noone will ask us to move on.

This, and qwux has a small supply of track-making equipment (along with my newfound collection of nursery plant pots), which makes it much better than just freestyle drifting.

Someone took photos, so i'm sure they will put them up, and the video will be up in a little while! (on the SRCD forums)

Future RC drifting will be announced on the SRCD forums, and not on SAU, so be sure to sign up if you're keen for the next one!

Yeah, this meet was very good I must say... nice to see members organizing stuff outside of the usual circle of things ;)

Sorry I couldn't stay, as mentioned, just started a new business and had to attend to that. Will make more of an effort for the next meet :(

OK; after going to this meet and speaking with a few mates I've decided to invest some pennies in a new RC car ;)

HPI RS4 Evo3 - Base Car

Stage D Kit - Turns Base Car into Drift King

I can't believe I'm going to spend $800 on a toy!

Disappointed... went into Hobbyco in the city and told them I wanted not 1 but 3 of the same kits! They said they sold out about 2 weeks ago!!!

And get this, to bring them in from the states, it's going to cost me $150 more each!!!! f**k THAT!

Damn Americans and their expensive overatted products! But you guys have to go watch that video on their site, it'll make anyone want this toy car!

good day. great fun

dingo again sorry bout your car, but remeber i wasnt driving it then.

hahahah I dont blame anyone but me for the crash. My cars a p.o.s anyhow. Next event ill just put maccas trays under the rear wheels of the charade :lol:

Try Rc hobbies on Parra road at Petersham. They stock alot of HPI stuff and are a bit cheaper that HobbyCo. Or just order direct from their site www.rchobbies.com.au.

Guys, yes, we still do meets, and it's all organised on the SRCD forums:

http://srandy.com:82

That URL is temporary until the proper domain name is usable.

Meets, and RC drift discussion happens here.

We were in Bankstown two weeks ago!

Next meet will probably be on the Northern Beaches, then somewhere halfway between Bankstown and the NB.

We're also looking at doing an event at Windsor RC track, and possibly entering in this years AutoSalon RC drift.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
