[mitchster]

...cheers for the comments guys.
looking forward to hooking for some dori this weekend possibly.

or around the boat cluub oval at sorrento. ;-)
[after hours]

[davetripoli]

I'm up for some drift this weekend, let us know what you have planed and I think there will be a few people who will come.

[mitchster]

awesome dave, look forward to catchin up.
me thinks this sunday might be good....where bouts r u?
is sorrento marina too far? we have a nice oval setup there.
[my sprint2 is understeering badly, and i have to do some work on it]
possibly unlock that front diff!

our frequencies are:
29.985
29.945
...but we can arrange more crystal. ;-)

[trq steer]

im from rockingham
but id be willing to travel a fair distance to drift if we could geta good number of drivers

any chance u can come any further south

freq's
29.825 matt
29.985 jim
29.745 russ

[mitchster]

cool!
yes we have transport, where ever when ever.
maybe if you have a track setup down there?
we are waiting for another shipment of ABS tyres from DS,
hopefully they arrive before we race!!!

just a q....maybe u could help?
what's your race system...we currently don't have any kind of D1 system going.
[aka judges on D points] at the moment it's a time thing, or who's first kinda thing
[obviously with the car most drifting wins. w/speedway style fanging as disqual.]

it would be cool to sorta do a judge based run.
sunday is on, we can go to your place if u like,
might be a nice run down the coast. :-)

[davetripoli]

How about we meet up somewhere central, like city west car park. Otherwise I'll go north. If somewhere is organised in the next few days I can try to get a few people to meet us.

[trq steer]

mitch we arnt scoring as yet we are waiting till rc drift becomes a bit more mainstream 1st. sounds good to me dave as long as we can set up a track there. but im guessing being a sunday it should be quiet enough for us to run there. dave u should probibly pick the spot since we havent tried any drift spots up there yet

[trq steer]

cool!
yes we have transport, where ever when ever.

[davetripoli]

How's about Sunday 1pm at City West car park. If its fine we can drift outside if it rains we can go undercover. Please reply if you want to come, I'll post this on Rcdori as well. Oh and it might be an Idea if we post up our freq.

[danhfvcsd]

hey that was a wicked intro page for the download link man! -lol-
downloading now ;)

[davetripoli]

That is some awesome footage mitch, you actually made us look good! can't wait for the next event.

[mitchster]

thanks dave, pity my camera was shonky, next time
we strap it to your GF's honda! [for a truly frightening experience.] ;-)


soooo, we were thinking. first sunday of every month we do this,
that way i can setup the promo for it early, and we get to battle real soon.

7th of August

lemme know what u think fellas.
[belmont or other location....rockingham possibly?]

[Dlux]

Dudes that looks awesome. I've drifted with my monster truck once and it was hair raising stuff. What are 1/10th nitro cars like for drifting?

[davetripoli]

1st sunday of the month is great, it gives everyone time to prepare. We need to organise some good venues that are central.

BTW Dlux 1/10 nitro cars are not that good for drifting, you need the torque of electric rather than the speed of nitro.

[Bowling Ball]

!yikes

http://www.omp.com.au/videos/stage_d_rc_drifting.wmv

HPI Stage D conversion - Nitro Drifting !super

[mitchster]

ok we're in. i'll update the site when we get a venue.

i agree on the nitro Drifting. it depends on track layout & surface lots,
but more often than not you're setting up for [nearly]
two corners at a time, looking at the third....f.u.n.
great for electric...as dave says, its a torque thing.
...this is why i love this kind-o-slidey-shite...it's a different style of racing
which makes it very interesting, and when you link em up, it's like...w0000t!
but man, if you have a BIG oval-esque track, get nitro right frickin NOW!
and with the wheels ozD1Rc is developing, bloody perfect for nitro....c post in tech soon.
[and hey, try running gas in an underground carpark at midnite....c how long the fun lasts]

gas rules, but not for drifting fools. ;-)
..standby for some 1/4 scale sprintcars...in say..kaw 10yrs or so...

[Dlux]

Good gawd BB. Front of my pants are getting damn tight.

[JD]

sweet car, and video..... too bad the camera guy at the end keeping sniffling.... kinda annoying lol

[mitchster]

btw guys, i have a DVD version of the .mov, for those not computer savvy.
lemme know who wants, and i'll get a burn going. :-)

[trq steer]

first sunday sounds good

buy the way had a great time on the weekend good getting a number of cars going round at once :D
!super

[opAsx]

DAMNIT!!!! this sunday is last sunday of the month... just when i have the chance to stay in perth til monday too...


anyone else contemplating a drift session on the sunday?

the saturday morning i had a mini drift session with the sister in law at melville primary school, they have an undercover secion with silky smooth concrete flooring. she used the acme and i used my mini-r. was a fair bit of fun :D

[mitchster]

our new creation, the team SC camera car.

[mitchster]

[OzD1Rc]

Hey at Belmont forum they have an awsome 2 storey carpark with awsome concrete surface up top and smooth bitumen down below best of both worlds and heaps of room and no one to annoy so is puurrrfectt........

[Matt]

hey ross, do you want us here to post a few messages about to see if we can get the spur gear you need so you can get running again?

exactly what type of spur do you need mate??

matt.

[OzD1Rc]

i actually converted a tt-01 spur to fit tb-02 and i also picked up 2 gear bags for tb-02 from stanbridges today
cheers for the thoughts tho
much appreciated

[mitchster]

belmont sounds great ross,
we will head out there this weekend [sunday] and case the joint.
- if anyone else is interested, I'll be there at about 1pm. [the top sounds cool]
just a casual 'non-battle' format.....hehe ;-)

[opAsx]

im in, belmont forum it is then :D

i will be there at 1pm for sure, maccas and doriftoooo sounds like a winner :D

[trq steer]

dunno bout this weekend but the 7th is good for me

[trq steer]

ive got some good footage of the north south meet just got to find some time to edit it

[mitchster]

footage???...is it miniDV format, if so...send it down aand i'll edit it for u.
:-)

[trq steer]

nope sorry its dvd

i can divx it altho the quality will drop quite a bit

[trq steer]

russell and i are comming tomorrow see u guys @ 1pm

[mitchster]

cool, i will be filming [for a bit] - trying to get my cam car skills down.
with a bit of surgery, the camera now locks to focus...
we should be able to get some great stuff come race day.
yay! :-)

[trq steer]

i went and got some new crystls 29.905 hopfully that will b opposing everyone else's

+ lay by'd r32 body wo hoo

had to chose between that and rx-3/240z there getting some wild bodies in now at our local r/c shop

i was so shocked to see a rx-3 there i wish i could of bought all 3

[opAsx]

im going to be there at 1pm. my sister in law and me took the acme to the local school for a little drift action. damn she picked up the idea of drift quick :(

rubber tyres and a smooth bitumen surface, this thing was drifting so well. hopefully someone will bring some spare tyres and wheels i can scab/buy today :D

cyas there.

[opAsx]

thanks for the great couple of hours there today guys, was well worth the drive :)

i was somewhat saddened by my complete and utter lack of skill... lets just put that down to too much power, small course and no skill :) so i dont feel anywhere near as bad as i do :)

I will get a silver can motor for next weekend and get some practice in during the week at home and hopefully not slam my car into people/poles/cars/myself

mind you Matt AKA Dave (:P) gets the prize for the best accident with my car.

trying to stop it and it kept sliding for about 10 feet straight at him... he jumped it fine but it cleaned up his radio rather spectacularly instead :D

cant wait for next sunday, cheers again.

[mitchster]

hah. yeh, it's like that! practice-practice-practice.
great you could come down, with some good input we should
have an awesome track down for this sunday.
i'm bringing a crate to stand on if they get any bigger/ ;-)

[Matt]

how many people turned up?

[mitchster]

just the four drivers matto, j
ason, ross, matt & myself. and a late arrival...jai [spelling?]
with a 1/6 scale supra. [filth!!!]
this was just to case the joint [B.Forum], and it was perfect for
the upcoming D meet on this sunday.
i wanted to test my camCar too, but i forgot the frickin body. 8-]
we need as many drivers as poss...........[so come along]
plus there should be spare ABS tyres [fitted on rims]
for any casual racers wanted to give it a hurl,
if i can make a bulk purchase of wheels b4 then, we have tyres a-plenty.
[BIG GRIN]

[trq steer]

mind you Matt AKA Dave (:P) gets the prize for the best accident with my car.

yes quite an interesting experience my first time with a brushless motor man that thing was moving !lmao

[davetripoli]

I will deffinatly be there next Sunday, the girlfriend wouldn't let me drift 3 weeks in a row. what do you guys think about belmont?

[opAsx]

i really liked belmont, the above ground carpark was so smooth and still has shaded areas for you to stand under so you dont get all burnt and have heaps of glare frying your retinas.

also if it rains, you can just move down a floor into the next car park which while not as smooth as the top floor would still be smooth enough with pvc/abs.

i had slick rubber wheels on my car and still managed to get some higher speed drift happening up stairs as it was soooo smooth.

great location though, close to food and drinks etc and very easy to find.

mitch, let us know if you can get soem sexy rims like the ones i borrowed off you and i will bu some and some ABS off you (that way you can fit them and i dont get angry and throw rims around my house in a fit of rage :P )

the ABS for me was kind of wierd. the pvc would drift so much sooner being alot more slippery. which was good as i didnt need to build up speed to get the slide happening. the ABS needed a little speed for me to get sliding which was toof ast for me to control with my current lack of skills :)

cant wait for this sunday. hopefully i will be able to keep form hitting people with my car... or getting stuck on every fking barrier.

[Prefix Suffix]

I live like a minutes walk away from belmont forum, i wish i had known you guys were getting together last weekend. I would have atleast come down for a look..

[mitchster]

jas, i reckon i just give them to you. [my old wheels & some tyres]
it's all in the name of the drift.
SPORT SUPPORT. ;-)

prefix, the message didn't get to you in time, hopefully you can join us on the 7th.

[OzD1Rc]

Hey my old supplier of polypropylene came into my work the other day and told me that he would sell direct to me again so happy days are here coz they have a shitt load of it wooohooooo...

im also about to go get some more urethane and im gonna try a harder compound this time
