The HBX Carbon pro kit and NRX-18 Carbon pro kit

Spent a week setting up this 2 speed freaks, everthing top notch to the end of the world but handling this stiff micro monster still qestionable since it only been 48 hours i've been try to tune it because the suspension and chassis doesn't flex much according to the terrains condition. But a plus when it comes to protecting the innear gear from crushed and misalign do to changing flex effect inside the chassis due to impact and rought terrains.

Yay! new spare set of NRX-18

Thanks to Mr. Foo our local hobby shop i manage to grab this extra spare set of NRX-18 at on;y 1/4 of its original price after booked for a week. Recently i've trashed my current NRX-18 with broken and worn out parts due to extreme speed after made several upgrades to the performance parts ioncluding switching to 7.2v 1700mah YEAH RACING LIPO battery with 25C to 40 current discharge burst rate and 6800KV CASTLE CREATION CM2068 brushless motor. Almost 40% of the parts worn out or damaged badly due to intense speed and stress force. Hopefull i can rip out this new parts from newly bought NRX-18 set and place it on my current active model.

God bless our happy evening.

Thank goodnesss no rain happened in that particular area, it does rain heavily a few kilometers away from the office but not at our racing circuit, maybe god bless us with luck and protect us from unlucky disaster...well it is raining seasons. Its just partially wet and we almost drift all the way. Not many people turn up for the race only me and Aki since the rain just drizzle around some unluck area. Another happy evening. Got me 3 packs of battery to last me almost 2 hours of play. It was nice evening with bring orange sunset. Really enjoy the scene and felt relaxed after being stuck in the office for hours.

Back to drift mode.

Ok, so looks like i'm back again into touring cars. At first i was thinking permanently swanted to stick to mini off-roader the mini truck. Then after long thoughts weighting between keeping either mini monster truck and 1/18 NRX-18 i decided to shift all the parts back to its original place on touring cars that is the old 4wd NRX-18. Its was a 3 hours setup to move the electronic parts from truck to touring car. Castle Creation: SIDEWINDER MICRO ESC, 4200KV brushless motor, HL AM receiver box, TOWER PRO 9G micro servo, gears and connector swapped place. Thankfully i got my old battery back plus its comes with 2x 1000mah 6V battery with 400mah charger from old forumer buddy under barter trade method with some of my R/C stuff. Was a good deal. Now with CIVIC TYPE-R chassis the urge to get out and bash rival player spark the flame. Time to drift.
What happened to my mini monster ? Welll, only time will decided. Surely it will resurrected in few days with more powerful configuration and spec.

Onboard cam-video ..Duel racing

Here's the video from our Saturday noon 12.30pm play. Got both me allokitty, akiraceo, and eru in it.:


Once again we go crazy on hot Saturday noon at 12.30pm buzzing around carpark with our small scale radio control car.
PSP cam onboard NANDA NRX-18 touring car belong to Akiraceo our forum Member....yup the cam is heavy so the car was not in a good balancing mode. The one chasing from behind is my modified auldey mini-monster chassis equipped with HENG LONG AM 27hz receiver, ESC-Castle Creation 1/18 SIDEWINDER MICRO brushless system 4200KV motor, TOWER PRO 9G mini servo, PN Racing bearings and aluminum gears and lots of hop ups. Turning cheap toys into expensive jewel!

As you can see NRX-18 uses Brushless system 6800KV motor value versus mini monster truck which uses 4200KV brushless motor. Both however equipped with the same ESC system: Castle Creation SIDEWINDER. Too bad i lose the race by 2 second. lucky i didn't put LIPO battery else that NRX-18 eat dust.

Evening twin duel

I never missed any interesting outdoor activity. Today lucky me got a similar models (NRX-18) from our local forumer join in for duel race on wide open area for both drift and sprint. In just 30 minutes we enjoy ourself chasing around the big car park dashing and drift around. Aki my forum buddy just installed new 370 motor which i trade and got me a used transmitter box for my project. We had great times. Both brushless system and brush was very competitive duel.

Saturday night drift again

At noon was well prepared with all my r/c models, well tuned KYOSHO MINI-Z and NRX-18 already upgraded with new 370 racing motor with custom 7.2V 2700mah enough torque power to drift along the circuit. At local hobby shop people swarming around to get parts and stuff for tonight event. By night at 10.45pm everyone at the drift circuit. I also met our local forumer who also seem to be in the same interest on 1/18 scale r/c tag along for the run. My first run was sprint duel again another brushless NRX-18 player but i'm using my 1/28 Kyosho Mini-z againts him. Was fast and extreme drag duelling especially i'm up again larger size brushless. After 1 hour 30min run time he won't by 1 second difference ahead of me. After drain sets of 4.8V 1000mah battery on my mini-z i pulled out my NRX-18 1/18 to join the other drifter on the track. With new 370 motor the car was powerfull enough to pull a huge side slide drifting partially around the circuit but dampens by soft compund tyre and short lived 15min battery. So i pulled another custom 7.2V 2700mah battery power and slot into my 1/18. I pulled the trigger 100% throttle thecar stutter and halt, ESC beakons an emergency overheat sound. I tried several attempts but still the ESC beacons emergency sound which inform me that big troubles is coming to wreck my day. Unable to troubleshoot the problem at night so i decided to halt for the day and went home with other at 12.38am at midnight. At home i made several test and found out i've fried a speed controller chip which suppose to handle more current. After long toughts i decided to get new ESC parts and motor to cope with the demanding problem.

Woohooo!! got me NRX-18 RC scale 1/18!

Finally i manage to get my hands on special 1/18 R/C models designed by Mr. HIROSAKA manufactured by NANDA Racing (www.nandaracing.com). After i finish several 3d design project last week i manage to receive payment from the client, small portion of the profit used to purchase my favorite R/C car from local store at FOO Brothers R/C shop. Low slung chassis, 4wd transmission, durable high impact main frame,fast and much better than my mini-z. This month i wanted to try out several test and play around before further purchasing accessories and hop-up. Hopefully this one can mount the fun during my boring times. Hoping to tune it max above 100km/h with Lipo battery and hot motors.

Anyways despite having fun i need to devided my time for special project given by customer. Looks like more fund coming in! Yeah time to top up my hobby!
