Tamiya's New Stickers

Tamiya's newest stickers(not counted the TB03D decals as they only come with the kit) have arrived to me.Item number 84033,Marking Sticker ( Tribal Flame,Chrome) is the same as what I used on my RX7 but it is now chrome...I'll use one set on my coming drift racer body.....Tamiya's other newest sticker ,84035 Flex Sticker s(Carbon Pattern) also came with these...Both are super quality and I have got 2 sets both....

New Spur Gear

I got a Yeah Racing spur gear for my TA05 which I found at my LHS at a very cheap price.It is very identical to Tamiya 0.4 Module 105T Spur which I have on my TA05R.I'll use it with a Tamiya 0.4Module 34T pinion ... I know about the bad quality of YR but no problem since high quality 64Pitch spur and pinion gear combo is on the way ....

An Unlucky Day

Two days ago I went to practice with my practice car ,TA05.After I've set up a simple and long track with colourful cones,I started drifting.Nearly 2 minutes after I started drifting while adjusting the places of the cones to perfect fit the track suddenly I heard a strange sound,something like a clicking sound...I was sure that it was again a tiny gravel particle and went near the car and take off body from the chassis.What the problem occuring was a broken down rear belt... This is the first time in my career,years of using belt driven chassis...The belt was left over from my TA05R which was not at bad condition...No problem though I went to my LHS, http://www.team-ncrc.com/ and got myself new belts even I have a spare belt waiting in my parts' box...What a bad feeling though,go and can't drift more than 2 minutes and return....

Update About New Tamiya Optional Parts for TB03/TB03D

Item description; ''This Aluminum motor spacer creates a 3mm offset, and adds to the vehicles front weight balance and makes changes to drift settings. Also the slits on the spacer assist in motor heat dissipation.''

Very very interesting....I am surprised to see how Tamiya is thinking about very little details that have perfect results ....This is why I'm a big Tamiya fan...

This part can also be used on TT01D...

How Today Was...

Today's drift practice session ended nearly perfect.I really had fun while drifting after a long time.Laps were precise due to the new setup on the car was great enough to have perfect laps so easily...Drifting very close to cones(clipping points) and to walls near the road were just easy as keeping long drifts.Shaking tails were no problem both in short and long distances between corners.Brand new silver can was also very good,refreshment of the motor came great...As for the setup nothing new such as over-driving etc...It was just my old trustful setup for TA05R...Let me tell more about the body,I have never ever thought how beautiful a black car could be while drifting before I've seen today.It was really funny to see a dark BMW drift with nice angles...When compared to other bodies I've drifted before I really like how 320si handle and switchback smoothly.....Next step is to start upgrading my stock TA05 ..... : D
