RC Drift Battle 2

[mitchster]

HEY ALL.

Time to Battle!!!!

this is the second of the RC/Drift Battle events.
the first event was kind of a 'get to know ya' sort of thing...
...this event will be RACING! [and endless drifting]
we have a battle system of scoring in testing, based on the
Tsuiso method of D1, two battle, and change leads each heat
and will be trying it out this meet. yes we're D1 geeks.
(see: http://drifting.com/d1_grand_prix.php)

ALL welcome.

please post frequencies on teamadrenaline.net forums
or in 'northern drifting' thread, under the drifting section of the forums.

Hey im gonna need to know what time to rock up. I think i have to buy a new chassis but that shouldnt be to hard. Ill also tell some people who arent on the forums but are pretty good at drifting..

[davetripoli]

I'll be there, need to brush up on some skills or I'll get hammered by the rockingham boys.

[trq steer]

ill be donating a trophy for the winner

Round 1 West Aust R/C D1 series

yay

the event is on a concrete surface (less traction) unless its wet in which case it wil be bitumen

BANZAI !!!!! !lmao

[davetripoli]

mmmmm trophy! concrete hey I guess I'll break out some pvc for this one.

[mitchster]

ooo baby. the track is good.......but be prepared to think!

yeh matt, we will have some tuned in judges.....not sure who yet.
it will all be sorted tho. :-)
good work on the trophy dude.....do you need me to organise the engraving?
i will mail a DVD of the event to each racer when de sun goed doon.

E-X-I-T-E-D.

....and ross where did you post the pics from last sun? [if u did]

[trq steer]

russ does the engraving at our work (build number plates for aluminium boats)

so we should be ok

three banzai drift members confirmed for this weekend so far. i will post a pic of the trophy tomorrow

[Prefix Suffix]

I can judge for you if i cant get a new chassis.

[davetripoli]

can I enter two cars? or should i leave the little one for demmos? Jack try stanbridges for chassis they had a heap of tt01s at big boys toys.

[Prefix Suffix]

Ive got a chassis sorted thanks Dave, im just gonna use Rae's tt-01 and sawp all my mods over.

Wooooooohooooooooo, i havent drifted in ages but im quite excited!

[opAsx]

hanging out for this :D leaving the brushless in the land missile for a laugh. i should be the exhibiton drift... how not to do things.

i was thinking of getting some plastic bowling pins and attempting brushless drifting bowling mini-game... Matt gets cedit for the idea !silly

[mitchster]

dave, do u mean your 1/18th?
enter as many 1:10 scale cars as u like......but1:18's will get BATTLECRUSHED!

dorifto!

[mitchster]

opAsx, i'm hoping my TC3 should arrive for the event, if so.....
you can use my AE86 belt slinger.....when the brushless demos get too much. ;-)

i must admit, if i was grip racing.....brushless is the go. period. A-Maaazing.
talk about impressed with performance. i'm still waking up in a cold sweat....yerks!

[opAsx]

hehe.

im going to buy one of those yokomo drift kits in a couple of weeks and use a much slower motor for it :D

i will bring a spare motor and ESC in case i get totally fed up with the hacker :D

[mitchster]

opasx-dude, my advice......stay away from 'drift' packages.
yes....i know those yokomo body kits are SIK! but, you can order just the body kit,
http://www.ozshops.com/cgi-bin/RT_Resp.cgi?application=radio
and get a better chassis off of ebay. with the standard kit.....it is very basic,
with mucho need for bearings etc. there is a guy here selling the V. rad SSG chassis
[but needs parts] in the classifieds....bit expensive tho.

your dorifto destination.....

please PM your freqs to me thanks guys.
i will make a list and post it here. :-)

[opAsx]

yah i saw that too and thought it was a bit more than i am willing to pay. id rather buy new when looking at that sort of money and do it myself.

cheers for the body link :)

[mitchster]

a track layout, which we have been testing, and.....it rocks!
lemme know what you think.
it looks very basic......but is a trick and a half to drive fast on.

[opAsx]

you forgot to mark in the poles :)

[Prefix Suffix]

What size is the track?

[opAsx]

huge, but not big enough for a brushless :(






:P

[trq steer]

heres wat first place gets

[opAsx]

a drawing of the track???

sweet i want in :)

[trq steer]

lol soz
fixed now

[mitchster]

prefix - the track will be big, but we didn't measure the area,
so exact figures will come on race day.
i might have a go trying to figure out......it's all just working out
what works good for everyone...which is hard, so any input would be great.
we have worked out, we love the tricky driving involved with a chicane into
a 180º......braking and booting. ;-)

[mitchster]

matt......NO FRICKIN WAY! thats insane..........are u sure man?
i love it, it's bloody huge!

WOW! thanks dude.

[trq steer]

its not as big as it looks its like 270 mm tall + i have plenty more where that came from

i was going to donate most of them to some 1 anyway

and i cant imagine a better sport than drift to pass it on to

[Prefix Suffix]

Just going off the dimensions of your drawing, the track might flow a bit better if you made the entry to turn one wider then the turn 2 hairpin a bit deeper. That said i have no idea of the size of the real track so it might be fine. What were you going to mark the track with?

Cheers
Jack

[trq steer]

electical cords and witches hats + whatever mitch had planed

[trq steer]

an update on that trophy

[mitchster]

....very cool. worth racing hard for. ;-)

[opAsx]

a mate said i can borrow his yokomo drifter this weekend if i can pick it up from him friday night before he goes to Yanchep for the weekend.

hopefully my new radio will arrive by friday so i can blame new kit on my poor performance :)

[opAsx]

hehehe ns :)

his has a shitty 27 turn motor in it so it will be more controllable :)

my helios arrived yesterday and the spektrum unit will hopefully be here by friday

fingers crossed :)
