ARD CER torque rods

It's not a secret, that ARD has some play in front suspension arms and C-hubs. Not critical at all, but still a bit frustrating. 

Some time ago, I saw this mod on one of Malaysian (or somewhere in that Area) forum. As I was explained then - it increases the stiffness of the whole front, and removes all of the play. I was surprised, how stiff the chassis became. 121 Spur clearance is pretty tight.

 And it almost does not influence the suspension work at all.

Onevia gets Uras'd; part 1

It's always nice to get of a shelf, a body that you don't run to much. Sometimes, you look at it, and think that it has to be "refreshed" in a way. So, that's what I did. Set of Uras fenders to refresh my first self-made oldie Onevia. 

Nice fitment for +10 rear and +12 front, especially with that tires.

Achieved almost perfect fitment today, and will paint tomorrow.

D1-10 random video

Yay. Another random video from D1-10. Not much skill shown in this video, but the track is well observed.

TOP Photon 70 deg. steering

For the past year, a lot of new chassis came out. All of them are designed for drift, and some hold very impressive steering angle like Streetjam 

or Enroute 

But this masterpiece was built almost a year before Ota R31 was released. 

Yokomo International Drift Meeting @Yatabe Arena, 14-15 December.

After the D1-10 was over, mr. Masami Hirosaka, Masaya Yumeida and Takahiro Kawakami were very kind to invite me and Nikita Perevezentsev (winner of D1-10) to Yokomo int. Drift meeting in December.

I have no idea, what to expect and what to get ready for. For now on, I only hope to get the visa and save  up for a ton of Yokomo parts. Sadly, this event requires you to Use all the possible Yokomo parts.

Moscow summer championship, stage 2

Let's agree, most of us drift in good, sunny weather, on clean outdoor tracks, and some don't even drift outdoors because they don't want the chassis to get dirty.

Well, guys from Moscow were really tired of canceling stages because of the rain, so they decided to continue the competition, when rain started.

Here are some pictures and a video.
