My custom 1/18 NRX Corvette

Another paint jobs for 1/18 corvette. Actually the shell came from HPI Micro RS4 models which I recently bought from local hobby stores. Very low CG (center gravity) looks good with matching wheels. With 3 color mainly Yellow, white and black I manage to spray according to my own paint theme. After scrubbing, cleaning, cutting and spray the shells looks marvelous with racing decals on. Lucky I got myself matching wheel sets BBS replica from HPI kits for 1/18 scale. Looks like my days well spent on doing creative stuff. Drooll!

Hello cute W200i


In the past i like to use expensive bulk symbian hanphone. But i learn one painful lesson, big and expensive with full automated feature are useless because it a phone and to bulk to carry around. This year i keep everthing simple and small in the pocket and yet very cute. I trade my old Nokia Symbian S60 phone to new SONY ERRICSON WALKMAN phone W200i...i did careful servur, internet review and research before i purchase this phone..overall this is definately a fun phone. At cheap price it comes with standard WALKMAN with FM radio, camera plus all sufficient goodies to keep me well prepared for communication and entertainment purpose. Its small size also means very friendly and less hassle to carry especially me being outdoor like biking and jungle adventure without having my pocket bulged and shake around like camel hump back. After all the review for this phone is so positive almost everyone like it very much. Cheap and usefull!

Hey look what i found at clearance sale! XMODS!

Highly addictive to mini's and irresistable bargain from local r/c shop i manage to grab the first generation X-MOD and the best part is that i only have to pay less than half the price. Awesome bargain! XMODS whose previous distributor was Radio Shack and manufactured by HPI Racing made this 1/28 complex beauty which meant rival to KYOSHO MINI-Z but XMODS left too far due away from professional R/C status to its "TOY" level quality and not close to real R/C racing performance. But hence its chassis built was interesting enough to catch attention to avarage mini-z collector. It has very complex built with independent wishbone suspension, soft dampers, 4WD, servos, sealed differential, interesting driveshafts and moddable body kits, I also came in a carrying case stuffed with tools and useful parts for tweaking on the fly. Being labeled as CHEAP version of 1/28 scale as mentioned across the internet it still holds interesting value to me as it can be easily mod of fused its chassis to high performance KYOSHO electronics or just port KYOSHO's MINI-Z parts onto the base chasis of an XMOD for independent and cheap source of 4WD mainframe. Its nice to have one.
