Chassis updates

New parts arrived today from ARD japan. Great service as always, surprisingly fast delivery, and great quality parts.

More red means more awesomeness. That's why i ordered a bumper brace to match the chassis. Should be a bit practical too, since it weights more than the plastic one.


Also, got some spares to keep me calm during the championship. It will also allow me to test-modify my CVD's safely. Stay tuned.


19.04 training

Drivers have finally woken up from a long-lasting winter madness and started driving normally. Each training goes better and better. Here is a small video about the last one.

I'm driving a green BMW.

Better to watch on youtube in full 1080p.

ARD CER cs 1.88

Finally, my Yokomo 10.5T motor (as needed for D1-10 participation) arrived, along with some useful spacers.
First of all, I got rid of all play in the arms and in the bulkheads. What a sweet feeling of stiff chassis.


Then, with  another spacers, I managed to mount the 21 Square pulley. Funny thing, that ARD comes with a oneway FC pulley because there is no mounting point on the Shaft. Will probably have to change the shaft to D-like Re-R, to fit smaller fixed pulleys.
Anyway, now having a 1.88CS. had to grind some material off the motor (similar to the picture above) to fit the pulley with 121-31 Spur-pinion gearing.


And of course, a lovely velcro to match the chassis color scheme. Only one for now(


Renewed SDT s14

In these cold, snowy spring days, i decided to cheer myself up and give my s14 a new look. It won the BOTM contest, in it's street version look, so it could be transformed into a drift machine.
Not the best work , but looks kinda ok. Good thing, you can always remove the stickers.

Hope you enjoy.
