Ah its sunday! a great time to be outdoor again. After church session, i went out for full blown breakfast, pick up my friend and away we go at out to the local off-road race track outskirt of town at 10.30am. Morning was hot, the sky was blue and clear added with pure white flaky clouds. We're carried load of equipment into the track and pit our self on our nitro r/c buggy for preparation to bash around the circuit. Our adrenalin fired up in seconds after we start our engine and hearing those tempting high reving nitro engine pump up those high pitch sound like F1 engine and the smells of methane smoke in the morning. We push our little machine around the track, we punch in the throttle, hit the bump and jump as high as we can. It feels like it hang on in the high in the mid air like a minutes. Certain time it jump as high as 1 storey building and landed perfectly on the dirt like stunt dare devil. That was awesome. Then we race side by side spewing huge amount of dust and leave trails like dusty sand storm. It went on and on till afternoon. The amount of people turn up from three to more than 20 racer. The track getting more crowded and the adrenalin pace was a huge rush. Sweats, scorching heat of the sun, sunburn, high pitch screaming noises of the engine, the smell of methanol smoke and voices of people shouting and cheering getting more and more. At the end by 6.30pm eveyrthing slows down as everyone brought their r/c buggy/truggy machine back to their pit for services, packing and ready to leave. The track owner and owner of our favorite local hobby shop Mr. Foo of Foo Brother Hobby Shop was their giving full support both technical and moral to the racer. Also would like to thank Skydark of Mcnet for the drinks. Anyone i was covered in dust and ready for a cool bath. What a day well spent!
I keep my budget low on my r/c activity by going virtual with friends online. The feeling, handling and excitement almost the same as real world except you won't able to crash anything physical. After few run i'm still at 3rd place average. Ouch! that guys was good! Will see him on next challenge tomorrow. hahahaha.
After been playing for weeks finally i really love how this nitro fuel powered 1/8 scale r/c buggy off-roader performed. Not as staggering fast as my 120km/h 1/18 scale touring but this one have huge torque enough to fly over my head when hiting the bumps. Cheaper parts replacement but very oily maintenance work. Few months before the international race/competition i have to sharpen my skills more to keep up with most of the racer. The sounds also really good too. Another good reason for being outside the house all the time. Another unboring activity yet make more new friends too.
