I can picture the first night of the marriage, you were like is this thingie...? I just wanna marry you...!!

The R/C testing last night was almost a

The car dial-in pretty good, some more setup has to be done and we gonna test couple more different tire compounds.

I told my friend last night regarding what I(we) need for the race such as more punchy battery pack and higher rpm motor, and basically he can provide all those to me, which makes me feel very comfortable.

Next testing will be on the 23rd

@ oil change.

mr.alcheng- yah, i never thought i would have to see that doll again but it's now sitting in the loft with her other stuffed animals. hahaha. at least i have room now.

my wife cracked up when i opened the huge box when she first moved into my little apartment after the marriage.. i was like.. oh~ this....


sounds exciting on the car setup. do you now use brushless motors and lipo? i have no idea wat kids use. i still have nicad 2000mAh and my regular 27, 19, 13, 9 turn motors. among other armatures and brushes.

i should at least get a car going so that i can use it up, huh? hahaha.

Mr.kenchan... I really want to see your face/expression at that moment..!!




The electronics are a total different story nowadays compares to the old days, and I was

The battery pack, they are using Lipo and the capacity is 5000mah to 6500mah No conditioning required basically it's good to go.

Motor are all brushless, they use different scales nowadays and the modified motors are getting as low as 3 to 5 turns...

Also, remember we have to adjust the timing on the modified motor in the old days?? Nowadays the ESC will do that work, and it will adjust the timing during the run... another

The radio, they have this new(well, new to me) features they called "Spectrum", which the radio will change the frequency whenever it detects a interference or glitch, thus no more need to carry or change the "band" or the "Crystal"

However, the Spectrum radio is a bit slower(well, maybe 0.00000X sec slower) than conventional since it scans&detect glitches during the race.

And ball-differential has been replaced by the gear-differential because the motors nowadays are too powerful for that..


But at the end, it still all go back to car setup and driving skills, the principle of chassis setup has not changed because it's based on law of physics, driving skills is all depends on the person.


Anyway, I was testing the car last night and during the 2nd and 3rd run I was thinking "Gosh... this feel good..!!"
