I have a Carson Attack 1/5th scale. It has boost bottle, pod filter, power pipe. It rips up all the grass with the chunky tyres. I also have a smaller road car with nitrous engine at the moment it has conduit glued over some old wheels and drifts nicely only its a ford shell.

I ain't in SA but I do have a HPI 5T & a 5B. The 5T has had $1000's spent on it. I am sponsored by RC Buggie's and race at SOLS track in Sydney! Wicked cars these 1/5th scales.

Drop by on AUSRC forum, check out my build thread and say gday!

I have a yokomo drift package, spectrum 2.4ghz radio gear running nosram speed controller and yokomo D1 15 turn motor, i use to go to hobbie habit on a weekly basis for the wednesday drift night and then the comps that followed id be keen to bust out my R/C and go for a skid its been a while :)

we have a few vids on youtube firs one is

Twins rc Drift

and second one was

RC Drift Mix

were put together by my mate tom was good fun

mine is the Gold BNR32 in Twins RC drift

and the yellow 180sx in Rc drift mix. :)

I got a Yokomo drift package with a few shells: R32, Chaser, AE85, S15, Nomuken R34. Standard :) And its f**king fun. Havent pulled it out in a while tho!

The only bad thing is, if there are others there with Yokomo packages, fair chance some of us will have the same frequencies :(

I have no problem with Frquency as my car are locked to my own personal frequency.

I have a spectrum and top of the range remote so never have a problem.

I have a yokomo drift pacage with Spectrum win win :)

Go the spectrum 2.4ghz :) no more interfierance problems for us :)

And for all there is an RC drift comp on 2moz arvo at hobby Habbit starts at 5:30 for any one who wants to have a go

or just come see what this nonsense is all about. my self and a few of my mates will be there.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
