Saturday Drift night fever

I'm very happy last Sturday night when me and my radio contol buddy when out for our radio control gathering night infront of old "Everise" supermarket where there's a big carpark for drifter and drag racing took place among ourself. I brought out 2x unit of sprinter MINI-Z and NRX-18 for drift. I spent 90% of the time drag racing/sprint againts others racer which at the ended ended tied. Was a funny competition for my 1/28 touring scale MINI-Z versus SAMCO 1/18 touring 4WD. The guy got LIPO in his ride but lucky he got steering servo which results in swirl before reaching the finish line. Crowds are overwhelmed and welcome the duel race...it was fun. The the last 30 minutes my mini bashed against the road devided trashed the servo knuckle sending me reset to pit-stop for servicing. The rest of the time surplus spent watching and cheering my buddy doing drift race around the DIY made circuit. We spent out our time from 10.00pm till 1.00am midnight. Then we spent break time at local coffee shop beside the road for refreshment and chatting till 2.00am. I'll return again for another drag racing duel. Yeah!!

Prehistoric dinosaur - TAMIYA Super Champ.

Hee hee... can't believe my uncle gave me this master piece of the 80's, I was only 4 years old when i see this car blasting around the sandy beaches infront of our house back in 1982. This radio control definately a collectors favorite item. Must be worth thousand by now if bid over the internet!. The chassis construction was 100% pure solid metal alloys, very durable and the mechanical engineering apply to this models is very solid and tough. Its like owning a pickup truck rather than a toy. Even its an electric powered sand buggy but the built was almost nitro fueled like chassis. The shell need a bad fix on front but that's a minor problem can be covered with DIY patch.
