RC SQUARE GARAGE

RC SQUARE GARAGE... Just as is it.

A spare 2 car garage is all we needed for a couple of hours of intensity.

Endless circulating corners. 

These small tight areas get you close to the machines and test your skills. 

So awesome to have a run on clean smooth concrete. Re-igniting the passion. 

Most of the time I was in between everyone. Just taking the odd spell for a few shots.

I'm pretty sure I was able to do 5 complete laps with my front wheel rubbing against this 180sx's door.




Everyone was ON IT!

Still pushing to spin. We never take it easy. Challenging everything.

Small overhang 86 is almost a necessity.

With just the right grip level, this square garage playground can still bring the entertainment.

Battles a plenty. crank it!

 

The $1 Dollar Lexus is a body that's growing on me. Short overhangs and chunky style.

Quite the mad D1 style.

Joined by some slippery pandoras

for some slide by slide.

 Origin Labo style is still pretty cool.

A small comp saw a good lineup of superstars.

Time for some serious practice.

Sorting out some lines


And some proximity... haha!

the fun was on.

All manner of chassis cranking it up.

hunting the margins.

hunting for angles.

And searching for speed.

With MAX Style

 Battle on!

Utatious!
 

cool times

Detailed machines door to door.

Where do you use the lock. 

Entry and beyond.

35 on Stage

Proximity was the goal tonight.

Many raising the bar, .

showing off their true skills.

Chuck it in

And hang on.

It all ends too soon, and we park it up.

Enjoy your RC flavours.

RE-Xtreme DRB-REW Settings - Angles

What angles do we need? Everyone has their own preference. Even me, three DRB-REW chassis and they are all similarly different.

FLAT at Desired Angle. That's what I like.

TYPHOON Spec.

The silver chassis uses modified lower Y-Arm and Wrap Up next VX Knuckles.  NO KPI on this one.

When my chassis is at drift angle, I like the ZERO degree front wheel for lots of control.

Camber 11.

Castor 11.

TSUNAMI Spec. 

Lots of Yokomo here. Drift Package 7 degree knuckles with Yokomo DRB Y arm. Front Shock is Drift Package Short Shock.

Target angle on this chassis is a little higher that the others. I like that this one can get way out there. 

So this is where the Zero is set. 

But is doesn't start there. 10 degrees Camber. I like to angle the tyres under my RC bodies in this way.
Definitely a style choice.

9 degrees Castor is fairly realistic with 7 degrees KPI helps the wheel lay over for less chassis lift.

SAMURAI SPEC

This chassis is set for a little less raw angle

Wrap Up next style. This time with some KPI. No Trail. (yet)

When angle cranks up on this chassis, I've built in some serious "posi-can"  

Many real cars with basic modified drift geometry get this look. They end up hammering the edge of the tyre as the sidewall gets mashed. In RC we can use an angled tyre to overcome this.

Looking at the wear on the trye, you can see the entire curved face is used.

12 Degrees Castor is a good starting point.

Camber is only 7 degrees on this machine.

One of the main things regarding my setups is that they still use a large scrub radius. I rarely run rims under 9 Offset. I just like the deep dish. Sure I could run less offset and push the knuckle wider 5mm.

So whether you like the style, looks or ultimate speed and performance. Whether you like bigger angles or shallower higher speed you'll need to learn to fine tune.

I am still coming to grips with the million combinations in a RC chassis. Finding the right combo (that you like) is ultimately test, trial and error. Having 2 chassis that are similar can reduce your development time, but once you know where you are heading, the settings are ultimately similar.

Enjoy your RC
