Adding a little overdose

Picked up some Overdose shock caps for the CE-RX...gotta make it look nice.

Lazy Sunday + Carbon Wrap = Little Details

Sitting around tinkering on sunday and ended up putting carbon wrap in a few things

Top of servo

Capacitor on ESC

Also added new red turn buckles to finish it off

                                     

The Zeon got some carbon too

                                   
                                                                 servo mounts
                                   
                                                                   battery holder

                                                                  diffuser ends

The ZEON hasn't been getting much love lately but a friend just got the new MK4 so will be interesting to see how they compare, Might make me a little more interested in it as ive been focusing on the CE-RX so much.

CE-RX RX-J Battery Holder

Fitted up my RX-J battery holder it certainly looks nicer than the stock plastic Street Jam one.

Pretty much full tune now not too much more i can do to it hop up wise. I have a few tiny cosmetic things to do when i have some free time.

RC-Art 2.5 chassis set

Thinking of getting on one of these thicker 2.5mm chassis set for my CE-RX.

Thinking this could help a bit as is feels like it has alof of grip at the moment.

Parts Anodised

Got my stuff back from the anodisers it wont be a perfect match but close enough

Hopefully get a chance to fit the parts tonight

First run

First run out at the warehouse with the CE-RX and I love it even with basically no tuning done! I think I will up the CS from 1.46 to around 1.6 - 1.8 

Running the 86 body on the CE-RX & changed from Street Jam mediums to hards slowed the car down a bit which a lot of the other guys are starting to do making for some closer driving.

CE-RX & ZEON chilling, zeon had gone from 7 deg castor to 13 deg seemed to make it change direction a lot quicker. I think I'll drop it back to 10deg when I can get my hands on the blue Kazama C hubs.

CE-RX ready for first rum tomorrow...

Kazama Parts Anodise

Went to my local anodisers today and luckily they do small batch jobs so looks like I'll be getting the Kazama knuckles C hubs and steering wiper redone in red. Just need to wait for the steering wiper to get here. I will probably strip the anodise off a blue servo horn I have and a few other small bits because there's a minimum fee and they said that it would cover the stuff I have 4 times over so pretty much can do as much stuff I can gather up for $50 

These are the samples they have me left is matte finish and right is standard gloss finish that is uv stabilised.

Crimson Lightening arrived...

My RC-Art crimson lightening arrived today, I've been wanting one of these for ages now but they haven't done another production run on a year or so, pics of the new prototype have popped up to but can't get word on a release. Browsing yahoo auctions this one popped up for a reasonable price so I jumped on it.

Here it is fresh out the box, I was relived to see it is in great condition only a few marks here and there seems the last owner took good care of it.i gave it a clean and look over everything seems to be fine. Started to fit the electronics out of the VDF Keyence 10.5T & Tachyon Aria, still needs a few things and tidy ups.

So here's my current chassis VDF roller (sold this week) OTA Zeon and the Crimson Lightening. Need to see if I can get the Kazama bits anodised red.

Crimson Lightening Upgrades

So I've already bought upgrades for the CE-RX before it got here haha.

Picked up some Kazama 10 degree C hubs and knuckles apparently they don't do red anymore so i'm going to see if a place near my work will anodize these to match the rest of the red alloy for me, hopefully they will do small batch stuff, If not i'll just have to run silver. I'm thinking of picking up the Kazama steering wiper too and get that anodized at the same time. The CE-RX Shipped today so i should have it before our next meet,hopefully my second receiver turns up in time.

                       Few body updates to come in the next few days if i find some spare time.

New Chassis

I have just bought something i have been waiting a long time to get my hands on!
