I recently received (an hour ago) my Yokomo BL-Pro 3 and I noticed that it came with a, sensor cable? And I wanted to know if it is required to have on the ESC and Motor.

Okay...I am having issues locating a program card for my Hacktronic ESC. Nobody has it in stock and can not say when or if it will be restocked. As I am new to the drift community I was wondering if any other program cards are compatible, or am I stuck with an ESC that I ca
n not adjust?

Hi everybody.

My name is Jesse. I've been a fan of 1:1 drifting since before the D1 Grand Prix made it's US debut back in 2004 (I attended). 

I've been an RC fan since I was a kid. My first hobby grade RC was a Tamiya Frog (I still have it btw) that I received as a Christmas gift when I was around 7 or 8 years old (i'm currently 38). I recently got back into RC cars and trucks a few years ago and have a small collection going.

My RC cars and trucks include ...

2 Traxxas Slash 1/10 VXL 2WD
Jammin X1 1/8 nitro buggy
Axial XR10 rock crawler
Axial AX10 Ridgecrest rock crawler
G-Made R1 rock crawler

And the most current addition is my 3Racing Sakura D4 RWD. This is my first on-road RC car ever, and my first drift RC car ever. I've only owned it about 3 weeks now, and I love it to death. I regret not getting into RC drifting sooner.

I plan on making a build thread in the appropriate forum as I've modified my D4 a bit already, and have a whole custom front suspension setup in the works. BTW, my D4 is the aluminum carbon clone readily found on eBay, so I will be offering a lot of insight in to the benefits and downsides of purchasing a clone.

Which forum would you guys suggest I post a build thread in ? The 3Racing forum in the Chassis section, or the Work In Progress forum ?

Got my new MST kit finished up. Running an OMG D run esc w/ OMG 8.5T motor, Savox 1251 black edition and Spektrum receiver bound to my DX3S that I've used for every rc car I've had in the last 4-5 years. The body I'm using is a Tamiya S15 that I messed up by using an old can of paint so I ordered another one, I guess it's a good thing because now I'm not too scared to crash haha. I have a bunch of parts on order for it and I'll update the thread as I get them. This is the first RWD car I've ever owned and I've got to say with the out of the box setup it's not a bad car to learn with.

Hey!

My friends has one laying around, is it even possible to make that thing drift?  
Also, I didn't find any non-pancar bodies out there.

Should I even think about it? :)

Hey guys decided to post some progress on a Corolla body I recently painted.

This is the first time I use paint for an airbrush/spray gun for polycarbonate I must say its awesome very pliable compared to rattle cans.

Color is a custom light brown mocha tri coat I mixed up. Has a layer of pearl. A layer of gold,copper and purple ultra mini flake. The effect is awesome under the sunlight.

Soon I'll finish up the light buckets,body lines and trim.

Here's some pics for now.

Summary Summary APlastics has created a beautiful looking Toyota JZX90 1/10 Scale Body. See full review below! PositivesGood lookingGreat masksSunroof is a nice touch! NegativesNot officially licensedDoor handle decals are not correct on one side Quality 4 of 5 Assembly 4 of 5 Value 3 of 5 Overall 4 of 5IntroductionThis body is of the 7th generation MARK II body, and comes with lexan light buckets and accessories. The JZX90 is a sought after ride in the drift world, now you can recreate this classic body for yourself. The body is already available, and the body replicates the real 1:1 car really well.MSRP is set at around $40 USD, and comes complete with masking, decals, lexan buckets, roof spoiler, grille. Overall QualityThe APlastics Toyota JZX90 Mark II body shell is made of clear polycarbonate/lexan. The quality of the body is also better than average, the lexan feels strong similar to a Tamiya or HPI Racing body in quality. The kit includes lexan light buckets, roof spoiler, duckwing spoiler, grille, masking sheet and decals. All of the styling cues from the Toyota MARK II JZX90 was represented on the body, from the raised bonnet lines, front bumper, sunroof, door handles etc… The overall quality and detailing on the body was quite good, however there is one area with some very small bubbles in the lexan (so small I can’t get a good picture). That said the 3D front grille, sunroof, and roof spoiler really make the car stand out.Product ReviewMasking was included with the body for pretty well everything needed. Although masking was not included for the front intake vents, but decals are included for the intercooler and details. The paint used for this body is Faskolor Pearl Gold airbursh. The paint had no problems sticking to the lexan, and the masking held up very well with very minor bleeding (not uncommon from other bodies I have sprayed). After running this RC body a number of cycles, it has held up remarkably well. The body has great detailing that rivals that of Tamiya or HPI Racing, the overall attention to detail is well done however it is not officially licensed by Toyota.My only real complaint with the APlastics JZX90 body is that the door handle decals were not reversed and you are stuck with making a decision of having one side correct and the other side upside down or whack. Overall ValueThe body retails directly from APlastics for around $40 USD. The price fits right in with others on the market that are licensed, and given all the extras included it’s a good buy. The only accessories that APlastics doesn’t include is the wipers, mirrors, and exhaust. We only wish that it was officially licensed so APlastics could include the real Toyota badging.ConclusionAs this was the first body we have seen from APlastics, we were impressed with the quality, accessories, and strength of the body. As mentioned above if you can look past the licensing and door handle issues this may be the body for you. We won’t hesitate to purchase a APlastics body in the future as they continue to make the plastic products RC Drifters want!The APlastics Toyota MARK II JZX90 is a very good representation of what they are capable of and we hope to see more great options from APlastics in the future. Here is a short video of the APlastics Toyota MARK II JZX90 in action!

Anyone know what size spacers to use on the upper Usukani arms?  I know that this tunes the caster and such but does anyone have a decent, stock position for the arms?

Curious, does it make sense to buy a whole new type c chassis when upgrading to a WUN chassis for RWD? Or just buy the Type c parts
