^yanks love rc bashing iv just built my mta4 monster truck for bashing so il be at the local track or bmx track soon or might try jump from the second floor car park at marion see how strong the titanium and alloy parts are lol iv pulled of some backflips before (with the response of the motor) but always snaped the plastic parts so it would be good to see how much of a beating it will take this time.

^^^Good question, but I don't think so.

I've been RC drifting for about 4 years now.

Every thursday night at Hobby Habit is drift night...well the un-official drift night. Its shared with buggy night. Come down, its good fun. from about 4 - 7:30ish. Few shells to look out for:

Me - Yellow basher 180SX (front/rear bumpers fall off)

- Pink/purple chrome coloured S13 with heaps of stickers

Mike - Yellow 180SX with TOYO on the side

- White with red rising sun on an S13 with heaps of stickers

Joe - Yellow JZX90 with a small 'Taxi' on the side

- White/red RX7 FC with a HUGE wing

Aaron - Blue 180SX with a few stickers

- Aqua S13 with stickers

Luke - Green 180SX

- Top Secret S15

Few others that come every now and then. Come say hi and we can talk RC dribble :bunny:

Few videos I made:

I am currently working on a 4th video.

nice vids, im a bit of a rc freak im about to build another brushless 5700kv drift car(old TT-01) I own 7 cars, 2 petrol, 5 electric and cant stop building them lol. I just got my hands on the new 1/10 losi desert truck and mamba sidewinder 5700kv brushless set up. Im hoping to get my hands on a good lipo and see speeds around 70kph so you might see me down at hobby habbit trying to keep it on the track. :bunny:

Did they change drift nights from wednesday to thursday?

Hobby habbit will have a larger range of drift cars RTR at pretty good prices and the service is excellent. If your looking at a drift car a can type tamiya sports tuned motor (27t) is good enuf for drifting.

    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
    • Maybe I should have written that a bit better lol. I did come 8th last in English at school during the HSC, ironically spent 2 decades reading/writing specifications and contracts in IT 😂
