Or most used to run was pvc ;)

[LuckyDuck]

Pvc and HPI's T-Drift tires...

They are really hard to mount, but here's the JDM trick:

Those are HPI tires, not pvc pipes. I'll bring some on thursday, if you can mount 4 of them in one minute without that trick, you keep them :hehe:

Tonight's the night people :rice:

[JDM EG6]

oh yeah ima corner balance mine today and I was able to get it fixed. YOKOMO doesnt ship parts so i had to buy threw another company and drill out a few pieces but it is fixed. Havesnt tested her yet though :(

[neilscivic]

i will not be in attendance :(

[LuckyDuck]

We regret to announce that the first round of the championship will be postponed.

New Lauch Date: Thursday, June 16th

This will allow participants to tune their vehicule up to D-spec and give a solid performance next week.

There is absolutely nothing worst than someone getting podium because he's the only one who didn't breakdown. Crowd dissapointment is not an option.

Rumors say that Redliners' JDC will get his Drift license in the next few days, hopefully that statement is true.


See you all next week! I will try to have official windshield banners ready by then :victory:

[neilscivic]

the culmination of practice and setup will prevail!! lots of sick drifters around, get yo practice on!

[JDM EG6]

:)

lol


Hard to believe Ive had that eg body since 2000, 12 years of abuse lol!

[Burkos]

Anyone know where i can pick up a TT01D chassis kit from a store in ottawa?

[shmully97]

I'm sure Great Hobbies in trainyards would be able to get you that, if it isn't already in stock.

[Shift-E]

It's so funny that people in Ottawa actually do this lol. Wish I had one to join in.

[Burkos]

Might pick up this?

[LuckyDuck]

R/c Drift Meeting tonight! Sunday Aug 21st, 7PM

[Bodywerx]

The CR kit is a very nice kit. I have the 240Z kit. Some of the parts were not well thought out, but I wanted it to match MY 240.

The 1/10 scale cars are easier to drive IMO.

[WilWong]

Do you guys race in the Dynamic hobbies series?
