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.

4x new wheel designs for XAVAGE and X3-SIXTY

Being bored on the desktop i'm messing around with Z-modeler see if i could come out another additional idea to design wheelsets for both "XAVAGE" and the good old shorty "X3-SIXTY" models using same design falnge pattern both inverted and vice versa looks. So i made 4x units with different looks. I haven't reach the texture UV Mapping yet but shown here is drafted design for all four unit. I try to maintain the same design taste for the wheel flange just like used on previous 1st batch of X3-Sixty and early version of XAVAGE with "half-wall straight face" design. Buts its harder to create perfection taste on its looks than just imagine about it. I'll see hoe it goes on the next step after UV MAP process.

Volcano erruption!

Ah! this is bad...maybe its good too. After putting the medical ointment it started to spew out the dirty goo out from the wound from the swelling bumps from my leg. It actually burst after my pedal hit the swollen part of my leg when i try to manouver my bike downhill but i slip and hit the pedal instead. Well at least it speed up the process of removing those dirty blood out of the wound.

Rough dry adventure

Its very dry and hazy today but it wouldn't stop us having fun in weekends. We're testing the new trails made by friend for upcoming races just nearby Miri public park. Lots of rough spot, spikey bushes, huge drop of downhills and climbing. I got this bad luck where my pedals hitting my swollen legs until the wound got bulging and errupt some goo, lol. I hope the new trails will be ready for races soon. I haven't been racing for more than a year since i've successfully secure 2nd place on last mountain bike race in Bakam motocross trails..

Today indoor race gathering at TWC

5L, me, Eugene friend, Tan friend and other join in for indoor race at TWC Serpent shop. Was extremely fun and high speed. I got extremely hard competition against Tan friend who's on MB4 touring 1/18 car vs my 1/18 MB4 truggy. He's on 4Pk and also his car very stable than X-ray and Nanda because of his oil shocks suspension system and balanced design. X-ray and Nanda still have light years to catch up.... the gap are too big. 5L and his friend poison by our MB4 hahahahaha...he said he want to sell his nitro and get like our Anderson MB4. Looks like MB4 extremely stable and perfect handling. We might have another gathering soon. We played from 3pm till 7pm (lucky we brought few extra lipo). Never seen 5L so happy in my life. Smile so big after play at mini race circuit. Oh yeah love my MB4. hihihihi..

Its a hazy day!

Its illegal open burning season again. Some people have no common sense when they start burning their plantation field crops. Their seasonal burning hit our country bad as our city hit more than 150 IPU on haze index. Here its all thick smogs from morning till evening. For the sake of profitting from plantation the whole country suffers. Down with them.

Addiction to mechanical complexity

Every since i was born in a family whose uncle was very fond doing technical works like r/c model assembly, model kits or anything that is miniature, complex, functional and very hightech i was very amaze such skilled work could land him a perfect satisfactory product that could awe public viewer and thus bring satisfaction to a creator. He was very hardworking, plush out every ideas and alternative ways to get it done, once completed its mere happiness in his face after the products perform outstanding function beyond expectation. I was right there all my childhood year watching my uncle building models ranging from plastic assembly kits, electronics, mechanical, radio control models and any hobby grade material. Being expose to such environment i was very much indulge in tech stuff, i was proven to have such skill when i was as a kid in school up to university level. Join invention club, president of Hobby club in college, won several international concept designs at teenage days, mountain biking races, joined and establing 3d design community and got myself into r/c model hobby as my third hobby, For other people view it may looks waste of time but as for me and the community related these activity bring a new world of hidden knowledge, technical secrets and something that cannot be learn by watching people building a models or doing technical maintenance.
Through journey of my life all my hobbies that is mountain biking, 3d designs and r/c model hobby together are heavily related and helpfull in providing wealth of knowledge between them. For example: learning how to manipulate gearing ratio runs inside an r/c car really taught me how to use my mountain bike gear ration more efficiently and thus made my cycling more enjoyable. Even the way how i handle my bike through cornering give me undestanding of G-force effect on r/c car models. For 3d designs, mountain biking and r/c models helps provide knowledge about aerodynamic, wind drag, CG effect and weight distribution on car design mass. These input give mee good ideas design 3d model of car or any automotive object on my computer,
was it fate that lead me to have such wonderfull hobby to fill the void in my life? Yes i do enjoy it. Never in my life i felt boring having interesting stuff to do everyday. I must be a lucky person to be bless with activity which no other person could have time to commit for it. I will treasure every moments everyday.

Technical past time

Just another day of me doing handy stuff.

GO KARAS!!!

Never seen anime sooooo cool with all those special effect both 2d and 3d well blend with its environment. Being 3d artist who appreciate graphics i'm very excited to watch it. Sound and graphics plus its art work top notch. The action also really thrilling. I'm not much of a fan of ultraman or power ranger but this anime genre keep me glue to my seat all night through 6 episode. A night well spent watching. Thumbs up!
