Any R/C drifters on here? - Page 28

70NYD · 11-07-2010, 10:49 PM

oh oh i found out (by complete fluke) that HSP is a copy of seben racing

german brand (germans make good stuff

) so im quite confident in my little car now (i even launched it several feet 2day

love it hehe hunting a buggy atm (or a truck, drifting only entertains me so far

)

chicaboo · 11-07-2010, 11:01 PM

Seben don't make anything, they just sell Chinese knockoffs... So your car will still be based on something real not from China.

70NYD · 11-07-2010, 11:07 PM

i thought they manufactured... pooh
oh well il look more, but for all this time i have been looking at diff chassis, i have not seen a single one tht looked like the HSP

Clean_Cookie · 12-07-2010, 03:56 PM

seben racing sold be a body and 4 sets of rims/tyres. they body was ok and cheap (total was like $50 shipped!) and the rims were ok, but the tyres. bald within 5 minutes of driving. great for burnouts but

on another note im waiting till 4:30 to pick up my 2 parcels from the post office

that would be, a nitro xt8 and a motor/esc package too

.... unless i bought something else i forgot about :P

70NYD · 12-07-2010, 04:29 PM

u should of bought a lipo cutof

Clean_Cookie · 12-07-2010, 06:56 PM

i got one sitting here for you! comes with temp sensor and everything! just need to solder on a balance plug (which you can easily get!)

this is what ive got myself into. just odered another $150 worth of hardware to make it work...

still need a servo and some tyres (why are MT tyres so damn expensive!) so thatll be another $200 or so... also another body @ some stage... ordered some more onroad rims/tyres too...

truck: $200

electronics: $230

Batteries: $130 for 2x6s 5000mah

motor mount, pinions, battery tray: $175

hmm... it seemed cheap when ii started it... hopefully itll go as hard as my other one and be a bit lighter being XRAY

70NYD · 22-07-2010, 11:45 PM

arrived 2dai. the brushless and the 75A ESC chewed through my bateries (the 5000mah 2S lasted about 35-40min of floggin) but it burns grass, climbs street gutters and flies efortlessly. best ~150 ever spent on a toy. shoulda bought this instead of the drift car straight up BUT i got some high grip tyres for the drift car to c how ti can handle itself as a track car haha

i know the stickers say wind hobby but its same sht as HSP (same company but for differnt markets or something i dunno)

RustyKaos · 23-07-2010, 10:25 PM

What scale is that as I have just bought the Losi 1/36th desert truck.

After having a go of Gav's mini hornet I couldn't resist another offroader but in micro scale. It measures only 15cm long and only cost me $99. Will most likely upgrade it to a brushless as well.

Rupewrecht · 24-07-2010, 12:50 AM

Doesn't this count?

eheheh

Clean_Cookie · 24-07-2010, 07:02 AM

haha jarrod i wont let you play with my new toy... youll be wanting one of these too haha. this thing flies. geared for 54km/hr on 6s and everything stays cool and lasts ages round the track. i am one very happy man. showed my boss and he was bloody impressed having delt with industrial motors/controllers/batteries for a long time and was amazed at how small the components were to make so much fun haha. going to phdr today - hoping someone will be there with a key and let me in for some practise.

RustyKaos · 24-07-2010, 07:09 AM

Was thinking of going to PHDR tomorrow as I have the day off if your keen?

70NYD · 24-07-2010, 01:07 PM

its a 1:10 scale

i got it for 150 delivered

i smacked in to a parked car 2dai at full throttle and bent the shock tower slightly LOL but a replacement is $4 so i dont care much at all

great fun but chews through batteries SO much. gonna get a 6000mAh 2S 30C soon as well

Clean_Cookie · 24-07-2010, 02:46 PM

imho, go for a 5000 of decent quality and it will outlast most 6000's on ebay... just my opinion

cheaper to. just ordered another 2 30c 4000's and 2 3s 4000's so i can now make any combination of batteries from 4v-50 volts. had a bash today too. was getting 5+ meters of air and only a shock boot tore which was already cracked so im happy! batteries looked fine after a few massive hits so thats good too. sacrificed my front speakers for the ability of charging while driving... which is pretty awesome...until you realise how bad the sound sounds.

70NYD · 04-08-2010, 11:26 AM

today i replaced the shock towers with new upgraded ones, the base thickness of the parts incresed by about 50% and the reinforced sections are over 2x the original thickness

i couldnt be happier ATM in regards to this car

found out that HSP make a range of carbon fibre things like chassis, radio trays and shock towers as well as other litthe things.. hmm its awesome but il never use it

(cheap 2

)

chicaboo · 04-08-2010, 11:51 AM

Put the zip ties around the top of the towers to stop them getting scratched, ulleh!

70NYD · 04-08-2010, 11:59 AM

ditto
just did it

http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/e...t=Video041.mp4

oh gav remember how my antena post bent and broke?
i chopped it at the bend/break and coiled the access length of antena around it (like on a CB radio lol) and then it FITS under the shell completly (when bent gently back ofcourse) so no more broken antena for me

infact u can c it poking out under the spoiler in the 1st pic
still waiting on the dogbones but the one i bent back is doing fine

still waiting on the shocks but again the one i bent back is doing just fine lol
still waiting on new tyres i bought (will come just in time as i was doing doughnuts yesterday on concrete and one os now bald LOL)
still waiting on a few other little bits and pieces

wish i found this hobby earlier cus its very enjoyable so THANK YOU AGT i have you to thank for intro-ing me to the world of RC

marcs_sp20 · 04-08-2010, 01:36 PM

Anyone know If I can use any brand for body pegs? I need extended ones for the mini van body I have

RustyKaos · 04-08-2010, 01:38 PM

It is very addictive. I have upgraded the little micro to lipo now and it has about double the power.

Now tho I keep getting thermal shutdown.

Oh well will upgrade to a brushless setup and then it will disappear.

Pretty much any brand will work. I got some extended posts from some random chassis for my van.

marcs_sp20 · 05-08-2010, 11:02 PM

I ended up going with a complete suspension kit from Tamiya that My Toys Toyworld in Ipswich had, and as a bonus gave me 4 short & 4 long posts, seeing mine were cut!

They had so much stock there it wasnt funny, nearly fell into temptation and bought a GT40 painted body, but I already have 4!
