Hi All,
This site refreshes my 30+ years rc life. Nice to meet Mike and J and another gentleman with a Lunchbox, sorry I forget your name, last Sunday.
I am sure there are friends on this site and thread whom I had met or raced with in the past. I will recognise you when we meet ands say hello. My first rc car race was the electric car race hosted by YMCA in 卜公花園 at Sheung Wan and my last race was the Tamiya Asian Cup at Hollywood Plaza at 2002. Some people may be able to identiy me at this point.
Just took out my Sand Scorcher two weeks ago and restored it as a runner. I tried to restore it with some flexibility of settings so it is not "original"
The front damper is a Kyosho Optima's so that I can adjusted the ride height and rolling
The esc is a Novak cyclone with a small cooling fan
The battery... don't get me wrong the 1700 mixed with the 2000,....it is merely a rematching exercise of some old cells and the figures of the matcher tell me they should be happy together....
I have omitted the motor cover since it does not fit well with the Johnson 540 , instead the motor is held down with three short metal posts and screws, result is not bad and there is no need to dremel away the notch inside the gearbox so as to mount the motor with one screw.
The torsion type rear suspension is dropped out too. A better rear camber is obtained here but the stroke of the damper is probably inadequate.
Any SS runner out there???? H~e~l~l~o~~~
Any buggy racer remember the electric buggy race held in the field track at Tuen Mun with TVB (and Miss HK) attended....Can't remeber if it was won by Mr Leung Ka Man or Chen Wai Hung or other???
Cheers |
