In and out of the bush



After a week been lazy bum on the sofa...and due to weather factor finally the bright Sunday morning give way for me to get my mood back on the bike and join the Sunday ride which all of us going to bash around nearby natural local trails just beside the baron hills. Startup with hard stretchy hill climbs, a zig zag around the trees, downhill steep and loose hill then away into the bushy dry trails going down the road. We made 4 loops and thats it. Cus i didn't bring my Camelbak full with water.

Miku in PSP

Thats the only game i willing to finish all the stage till final since its has very catchy tune/songs, challenging and very lively plus cute too. "Hatsune Miku: Project Diva" is one of the most influential game titles for PSP when i comes to "follow the tempo" game with interesting music to listen too. But i'm still stuck at the stage where she sang the fruity tune about 5 steps away from final i'm in Easy mode. Thanks to Rafael for introduce me the titles which led me to curiosity playing this game and got me a disc of OST too. Rafael made a request to built an HATSUNE MIKU theme type XAVAGE which i'm gladly lend a hand on it.

Week 5..no z-modeler

After long break i still not in the mood to stick my butt infront of the computer and whizz my mouse around on z-modeler 3d tools. Something tells me i should take more rest enjoying myself with other stuff first until some sparks of ideas get me going back again. Anyways everyday been busy around doing some designs, graphics, sites and some custom model building for clients. I wish there were at least 48 hours per day, 12 working hours, 2 hour for meal, 9 hours sleep and the rest will be my design hobby. Hmmmm.... put that on my afterlife wish list.

More performance and bling upgrades.


After gain budget doing some designs for customer i manage to chip in few budget for my MB4 truggy. Unlike last time this time it all about getting it more rigid, tougher, durable and longer runtime:

New stuff under the hood:
---------------------------------
-Turnigy 3700kv brushless motor sized 370 long case.
-Few sets of Rhino 3750mah 2s 25c lipo pack.
-3Racing and Yeah racing suspension, steering reinforcement parts.
-Yeah Racing Tornado motor cooling fan
-Atomic mods wheel drive shafts
-Sets of GRP racing on-road foam tyres (not on picture)
-HITEC HS225 MG mighty mini servo
-Anderson MB4 Carbon Graphite chassis
-LRP sets of pinion gears
plus dozen of spare parts...just incase if anything gone wrong when flying in the air.

Outdoors MB4 perform great after upgrades. longer runtime, huge torque power, better handling and spew more dirt into the air than before. On local track it did very well against 1/10 touring around the corners. Both on-road off-road gave huge satisfaction and made right choice to choose 1/18 scale then my 1/8 nitro. I'm looking forward to mount a video came next time for on-board driving action.

Crawler project gone high tech

Another fun time with some innovative outcome from my brain.
With same scraps taken from junks and few from incompatible MB4 parts all those good resources and material went over to my custom crawler.

-custom 2mm bore 6t pinion
-Yeah racing brushless fan for ESC
-3Racing fan + Yeah racing motor heat sink for dumping heat
-S3003 steering servo

No more over heat issue, longer runtime and more climbing power. All this works reminds me of my young days being inventive in Invention Club minus the budget. After successfull climb all those miscellaneous stuff around the house i hope i can bring it out again for real rock climbing activity.
