Well I received my R/C drifter yesterday along with the rims I also bought off ebay, and all I can say is that its addictive!! Although its a little slow, its still enough to flick around

zappy65 · 16-07-2009, 06:48 PM

OK, so I finally fixed mine...again and she's goin strong....

Its a Great Vigor BV1 2 speed Force.15cc 4WD Nitro Tourer that Ive slowly (with alot of experimentation and $$$) turned into a pretty solid little drifter

Features:
Alloy Belt tensioner
GV Fuel Filter
2 Speed
Volk Meister rims with HPi PVC tyres (+ 26 front / +22 rear)
Custom chassis to remove chassis flex (main weak point on this chassis)
Camaro Shell
Venom Temp and Volt Meter
Locked Diffs front and rear
30k weight / 10k weight (front / rear diffs)
Rear Alloy diff supports
Front and Rear swaybars and endlinks
Stiffer springs and 30k weighted oil in the shocks
Alloy LCA's
Modified extra length (zappy spec) exhaust snout (to prevent fuel on the rear tyres = spin outs)
New HPi hi torque servo's + 3 channel receiver + HPi turnstyle remote.
Full battery setup to self recharge
GV Electric starter kit

Before most mods

After (dodgy phone pics)

Offset anyone?...

marcs_sp20 · 16-07-2009, 06:51 PM

zaps where did you get the work meisters from, they look hot!

zappy65 · 16-07-2009, 06:58 PM

Toyworld buddy, dunno if they would fit your shell (come in different offsets) and I dont know SFA about the bolt on design on the elec tourers...

The model website of your particular model should have alot of available rim + tyre options.

spenaroo · 16-07-2009, 08:04 PM

my latest chassis

, before this i had a sprint 2, its in parts now. ive been into rc drift since jun 08 according to my ausdrift.net profile.

pics are from a few months ago when i first got it, the electrics were only test fitted, wires are better now.

no body for this one yet, only run in wide open spaces of indoors

marcs_sp20 · 30-04-2010, 09:50 PM

Bump!

Recently bought a EzRun 9T brushless motor with ESC from ebay for $82, not bad for something that I hardly use I guess

Hey Jarrod, what batteries do you use? Tamiya or Deans?

RustyKaos · 30-04-2010, 09:59 PM

Still on the Tamiya as they are much cheaper and I don't use LIPO on the E10 yet. I sold all my other RC's as they were just collecting dust but I kept my HPI E10 as it is just so much fun drifting it. I have converted it to rally spec at one stage and kept breaking things so converted back to drift and bought a buggy but got sick of it so it just collected dust. Hence why I sold it but that was about a year ago now. The only other one I had was a TA RC18 which got sold as well. That thing was a rocket for a 1/18th model.

RustyKaos · 30-04-2010, 10:08 PM

Oh forgot about the Baja 5B as well. Bought it off a mate for a good price and had it for about 6 months when he begged and pleaded me to sell it back to him. So I sold it back to him for the same price I bought it for.

marcs_sp20 · 30-04-2010, 10:21 PM

Geeze, you sound as bad as Gav!

I think i'll just stick with drifting, however the backyard is said to be "heaven" (in Gavs words

) due to the different surfaces, but I gotta put my foot down somewhere

chicaboo · 01-05-2010, 12:04 AM

That's OK, I will bring my truggy over to your place and utilise it's full potential in your backyard!

And I'm not that bad, I only have 7 cars.

1 of which I definitely want to get rid of, not sure about another [but it's good money in the bank if I sell it!

], 2 more shelf queens [1 not built, another never used], and my 3 'daily' cars...

Other cars I like are the TA SC8e, HPI Baja 5S V2, and the Kyosho Ultima DB [which is calling my name].

Gav.

RustyKaos · 01-05-2010, 07:47 AM

The HPI Baja's are just plain fun but you need a large space to utilise their full potential. I used to take it down to the park as my one was very loud because of the aftermarket exhaust on it. Also is great at a skate park as long as no skaters are there.
