New Body

I've bought a new body as a new year present for myself....This time a European car ,BMW 320si....I have never ever painted a completely black body for myself but this time I'll....Nothing will be detailed,I am just going to keep it clean and simple..

I don't like to bash brand new bodies just after painting it so it has been a long time since I am not drifting with a brand new body and this causes me not want to drift that much...

Repaired and Black Wired TEU-101BK

In the end of the summer this TEU-101BK was suddenly broke.I decided to try fixing it and managed to do ,it was just a crack in the circuit...Then I decided to change the wires to black ones because I decided to save my TT01D as a shelf queen and appearance of the chassis and electronics have to be cool...

New Photos From TamiyaUSA

As I thought 54128 TD03D Bumper Support is not produced for only visual reason,it adds 15g to the front of the chassis.

TamiyaUsa; The weight (approximately 15g) of this aluminum bumper support adds to the vehicles front weight balance and makes changes to drift settings.

Accessory Parts Set is exactly how I was expecting ,perfect...

No comment on the Alu. Brake Disc Wheel Hubs as their appearances' tell everything....

ABC Hobby Stealth Body Mounts

Easy to install,remove and the body attaches well to chassis...Good looking for shelf queen bodies...

New Brushless Motor From Tamiya

54132 RC Brushless Motor 01 12T-D

From TamiyaUsa;

''This new easy to maintain off-road use brushless motor is perfect for beginner R/C offroad users. This motor has excellent protective qualities to prevent dirt and debris from interfering with its operations.

About the Model;
This Brushless motor has the same power output as that of a 23T brushed motor.
To be used with off-road chassis machines.''

I think this is a great news for upgrading 23T SuperStock TZ Motor to an equivalent Brushless Motor.

TRF416 World 'Champion' Edition

Marc Rheinard have been 2008 IFMAR ISTC Champion after a really exciting battle with the event's TQ,Hara.I was waiting for this championship from Rheinard and Tamiya for over many years and they have done it in a great way...He's always been my rc driver idol...The photo above reminds me Initial D battles.It was like Takumi driving on the curb and passing his rival from inside....Congratulation Tamiya and Marc...You are officially the BEST now....

TA05 Test with Bumper Weights

I added the urethane bumper with 35g lead weight inside on my TA05.I've tested it on my TA05R a few months ago which I didn't like how my TA05R handled and reacted.Today I didn't like it one more time .It made my TA05 response slower and caused too much off power oversteer....I took it off the chassis again ....

And I need to buy new set of T-Drifts as my tires worn out too much .....

Golf GTI Pirelli Edition...

I might add some minor details but not sure yet.....

WIP VW Golf GTI Pirelli Edition

Painted,stickered still to be ready for photoshoots.........The colour is neat and vivid just expected.....This is why it's in somewhere top of my favorite paints' list.....

Finally Got Paint for My VW Golf

I also got 2 PS54 Cobalt Greens earlier which I didn't mentioned before....

This time is a PS15 Metallic Red...I love this colour,it's one of my favorite colours...

I'm thinking of replicating Pirelli's version of Golf V with metallic red in colour.....

First Breakage

Diff Outdrive is broken.... It was happened while I touch the wall slightly while clipping max point on the clipping point ..... I have ever never broken any part ....so this is my first time ...

Got a 3Racing solid diff from my LHS instead of buying same plastic diff outdrives...but don't worry 3Racing one is just temporarily fitted I'll get the tamiya direct couplings soon.....(They weren't in stock in my LHS)

Mounted on HPI Rays GramLights 57S-Pro 0mm offset

Silvercan Powered TA05 Build Up

Front Tightened ball diff

Rear Custom locked ball diff

Front and rear carbon reinforced damper stays

TRF shocks with 400 oil in front and 300 oil in rear with stock silver springs(rates between tamiya yellow and blue).

An old blue aramid belt on the rear

Electronics from TT01D with an old Mabuchi Silvercan from one of my buggies.....

That's it .... Tests showed that TA05 is a great chassis out of the box whether it's underpowered or without a long setup session...Drifts much faster than my TZ powered TT01 and there is no need for an expensive motor I think for now.....This chassis will be my new practice car and will test new tires(HPI T-Drift Replicas)new electronics or maybe a Brushless System ....

Information Book for TB03 and TA05

I call it encyclopedia as it doesn't look like a book.It's writen in Japanese but the pictures and graphics,charts etc. explains all that you don't need to understand what is writen....

It's mostly about TA05 & TA05IFS...

I'm back...

I haven't been able to connect to Internet for over 2 weeks but now I'm back...Since this time I assembled my old TA05 with the retirement of my TT01D ...

New Releases From Tamiya with Official Photos from Tamiya

http://www.tamiya.com/japan/hobbyshow/report/news1.htm#58420

It seems like Tamiya is improving their drift scene..... The new TB03D with full option looks neat...I want one :D .There are new aluminum brake disks with two different sizes of disks for extra realism just like real ones and I will need them for my main drifter,TA05R.Also new Aluminum Bumper Support for the TB03D seems to be a weight bumper just like Yokomo's.(I hope so...)...I'm pretty sure the full optioned TB03D will drift like a dream...

Note:New TT01D is now with Tamiya Super Driftechs(my favorites).

I hope Tamiya to release cool wing and wing mounts..

TT01D Maintenance

I cleaned every part on my TT01D and I am going to change the chassis because it is in a very very dirty condition...
Dirt and grease mixed...
New chassis...

Quick Review ; Material used seems to be a little bit harder than the original T-Drifts...I am curious how durable they are and how they will perform on wet surfaces....
