Micro frenzy

Oh look at that few years later i'm back into micro again. I just have this feeling that 1/28 scale micro r/c have high cool factor and usability than my 1/18 and 1/10 scaler. The are small, detailed bodies, pocket size with all the slogan "anytime anywhere" all over it cramped with all the high tech micro technology that cost a bang inside a thumb sized cockpit. After years into 1/18 tp 1/8 scale its time to put all my large scale technology knowledge and zip everything into this tiny pint models. I'm looking forward to upgrade this micro to perfection with ass whooping programmable micro ESC, 2.4Ghz RX,micro brushless upgrades and high reponse servo just like its big brother.

Get away, get away

Its great to be out in the wild again, just zooming around the trees, bushes and paddle way above the sea level above all people looking into the horizon see green soft carpet of forests as the wind blows over me, i felt renewed in me. Every weekend i just escaped myself from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Sometime i was pondering myself that everyday i began to hate life in the urban, i need a gateaway ticket to spend my days touring around the world on my bike visit interesting and wonderfull places before kicking the bucket.

LRP S18 TC TEAM FACTORY

AWESOME! I got myself an MB4 type touring 1/18 scale all pro race grade race. All carbon and alloys upgrade under the hood. No question ask. However i don't have guts to go outdoor run it on the tarmac yet due to open air spur/pinion and fragile looking tyre after experienced several several 1/18 collection i have in the past. Its to much jeweled and bling to see it runing outdoors, should i keep it on the cupboard or should i play with it?
Unlike the off-road version of MB4 this Touring spc have interesting suspension system, i took few hours of my time to dismantel and examine each mechanical parts, its a good experience and knowledge to know these thing as it can also apply to my virtual car design and 3d models which i work on my secondary hobby. The models are much tougher, rigid, solid and have high quality mechanism and performance compare to my old NRX18 and HBX 1/18 tourer.

After lots of thinking and future investment thingy on this models, 2 days later i decided to sell it off to local buyer because i don't think i'm getting back on-road racing again. Off-roading have more kicks in me.

Evening circuit fun drive.

Me, Nick, Mochiko and Rudy on the racing circuit busy driving as usual..all brushless, 2.4ghz, lipo, foam tyres and carry some bad driving attitude..hehehehe. Nice to be here after working hours driving and do technical stuff.

Just another evening

Its nice to be out there meeting friends and do some healthy activity after working hours. You train your hand agility and learn new stuff everyday. Plus strengthen friendship among racer.

Speeding at Stadium r/c track

Even before and after our office hours we always spent times at the Radio Control touring circuit nearby our local Gokart race track for several laps of races among each other,. Its kinda of interesting to race side by side, navigating through narrow corners challenging both our mental and physical skills handling our cars at high speed. We really do enjoy and sometimes laugh aloud if something always funny happen along the way. For me its very realxing and enjoyable activity before and after office hours just to release out the stress being a working adult, Yes we have all adults people from the 25 to their 60's gather around the track putting all their days of madness at their finger tips and release it on their little cars. Whizzing around the track, beating your opponnent cutting off the grid, drifting and sprint at max really put the stress out of our mind and put those big smile in our face before we get back home. Plus we always meet new friend everyday at the track.
