word. ill see if i can find anything.

how is this for a track layout?

 

Not bad, I dig.

What are we going to use for barriers?

 

no idea yet. probably pvc pipe or those carboard tubes b-rad was talking about.

ive been thinking about your camber problem... the BIGGEST thing about rc drifting and its a lifesaver: its not an exact science. id be willing to bet a trashed gram light that if you set both front wheels to have -1 or -2 degrees of camber and have stock castor and toe and all the other stuff your car will drift just fine. since we'll bu using hard plastic tires or yokomos or taped tires handling geometry barey matters. as long as each side makes equal or close contact with the ground the car will drift like a champ. the tt-01 is a PHENOMINAL chassis from what ive read and experienced. it doesnt really require more than ball bearings and taped tires to make it a high-class drifter.

 

also, this just hit me:

since it is a shaft driven car maybe the camber is built into the car to help compensate for torque steer from the motor/driveshaft...

either way i have no problem with my car making left or right drifts. i think you have too much traction ;)

give the yoko-slow drift tires outside and see what the dilly-o is. once they are worn i think they will be sweet for teh service bay

 

Well, I was thinking that perhaps the reason the car is snapping mid-drift is the influence of the shaft drive on the chassis. Fixing that shouldn't be too much of an issue - that CF center brace looks pretty sweet.

The camber issue in the front is more of a detail issue that annoys me. I know its off, and theres nothing I can do about it [for now].

 

 

 

 

#1 gets my vota, Adam.

 

I was wondering how long it would take for one of you junkies to come up with a logo for my awesome team name!

Looking good. I like all 3 so far. Maybe the one in the middle is my favorite.

I still have to dig out another set of rims to run after my little mishap on Thursday night...

Can I get adjustable front arms for my T-Spec? I think that will help me out a little if I can get some more tire off the contact pad in the front. In my opinion my front bites just a little too much and certainly more than the rear....

 

The T-spec comes fully adjustable. In order to adjust the camber, you just need to screw the top pivot ball into the arm. You'll need a smallish hex driver to do this.

 

I might have some time to wrench on it tonight. When I get home I'll pull it out and see what I can accomplish while putting on a new set of rims to destroy...

 

Have we put an R&D or thought into what motor we should all be running? I also wanted to know if anybody had any insight on the Yokomo D-Spec ESC which I saw on their website...???

 

zack, price me out a set up just like yours and ds....

i think the best way for us all to drift the same would be have the identical set up..same car, same tires, same motor....

 

Adam, find a TT01 kit that you'd like... and I'll get you a price. Also pick out the wheels you want [I'm guessing Yokomos, but which ones...].

i like the skyline like yours or the silvia like ds...

 

i liked my logo

 

I'll get my bonus on Thursday and if its decent enough I might be able to swing a TT-01. Otherwise its gonna have to wait a while until I can pay off some bills I have stacked up...

 

I can definitely swing a better deal on 2 TT01 kits.

Joe, what kit would you want so I can get some pricing in.

 

joe, you run the skyline like zac and i'll run the silvia like d
