RC Driving Style
Hey guys this is the aluminum rs4 I built not to long, it was built long ago, I've just been waiting for Drive shafts and other odds and ends.


I took it out last night, yes in the salt and cruddy driving conditions...

I let it warm up for about 2 minutes, and after that it was a foam tire burning, drifting machine. 20 minutes later, I drifted into a tiny tiny tiny little slush ball, car got sideways, rolled and then landed on only the back wheel and shattered my new rear drive shafts that were installed an hour before.

I took it out again. changed both rear tires, to yokomo drift wheels and tires, within the first minute I disintegrated the center of the yokomo wheels.

I took it out for lunch today, decent conditions in a freshly paved parking lot and my motor came loose, and i stripped the gears. sucks but it happens.

while heres the beast. My new countach body, and my old rx7 beater. I'm going to pick up 2 more rx7 body's and then hopefully get into racing.


damn webshots... And rcnt i wanted to post the pics here but it wont let me
so heres the webshots link.

Lol Ignore the condom my gf just left.***

also I dunno how my duster snuck in there but theres my 1:1 car aswell.
 
I see a Jeff Gordon toy car on the shelf......Thats cool!
 
Off topic but I see a scoop on that Duster. I'm not a Chrysler guy but ya got anything in there? 318, 340 6 Pack,....440 OH YEAH!!! LOL
 
lol speak for yourself.... haha


Its not a toy car, it came with chocolates, it is now a stash box.


and lol Ill prolly lose that gf soon, 3 years almost and in 6 month period I've spent more money on r/c then her, and shes quite aware of it... I think I have V-day to redeem myself, but you know I kinda wanted to purchase a 4.6 savvy.. lol


I was hoping to get action shots when I took it out at lunch, and I was planning on pictures for the second tank, but I didnt make it lol my gears were stripped by half tank.


I am almost blown away, with the smoothness and effortless manuverability, I think the weight helps out a bit, becuase this is by far the smoothest nitro car I've ever driven, and I've driven a few hop'd up mugens, ofna's hpi's owned by hobby store employee's

also..

I didnt use this car because i didnt have a mill for it.. I have an os 18(in pics) but I dont have a starter box for it, I have a t-15 but it has alot of miles on it, so I wanted a fresh engine, I purchased a shaft drive rs4 in perfect condition from some guy in the states for 50 bucks, hadly any undercarraige scratches, upon opening the box, the idle set screw was not even in. Meaning carb was closed for business, Turned the screw engine fired right up( I love noobs that buy cars, realize thier lack of tuning ability and then sell thier car on ebay).

what I'm having trouble understanding is why does this 15 fe have more power than my t-15...


I am using a new pipe (for the os 18) on this 15fe that i didnt use for the t-15 but thats no excuse for the power I'm putting down. Like extreme amounts of power are being put out by this 15 fe.

I'm so suprized, I'm at the end of first in about 2 seconds and topping out 2nd in about 3 seconds after that.
explanation?


*** Duster... eww i hate that hood, Changed back to flat stock hood, I'm going to rip off that scoop and put on a 440 six pack scoop...I'm 21 and this is my second duster... first was 74 3184bbl auto, this is 75 3604bbl 4spd.
 
its obvious you dont know how to clean your car.


I got it ten times more dirty when i drove it at lunch.. holy moly salt microfibre.

invest in a 4 dollar can of break cleaner, a misting bottle and a hair dryer.
