423 - Windmills Friday: Sharing Some Worries

Well I'm not Don Quixote biggest fan on earth, I'v read his adventure once when I was a teenager but the expression "tilting at windmills" remains the most suitable for this post, for some past ones and for several future ones.

In general I'm worried about some trends defined in the last years: RTR instead of kits, cheap electronics from China (the crap factory), Lipo batteries that are stupidly dangerous and rubbish blings-blings instead of pure modellers crafmaship. I will go in to details in single posts written on porpouse, stay tuned!

422 - Wild One On Holidays: Its Great Opportunity!

With my Ultima out of the games I've lost the long awaited opportunity to enjoy myself with a RC car on my lawn here on the alps.

Luckily in a few of days after the breakages I had the occasion to visit my mother, so I've rescued my Wild One that was only awaiting to be testede in its last configuration.

The Dirt Tuned does its work without any problems, the Speedstar II 17t never overheats and the batteries had a good punch (LRPs better than Orions).

The car on the grass isn't a lightneen bolt and to have some fun I shortened the ideal track to enjoy the decent amount of torque coming for the conservative motor choiche.

Some grip roll overs have been occurred and I'm considering to cut away some outer spikes from the rear Schumacher tires.

The great news is: no breakages this time!

421 - Flashback Friday: My Wild One Fourth Life (Recent Days)

 


In its last reading my Wild One has benefited of a new body, a new livery new wheels to match the livery of my BBX and my Kyosho Ultima. I really love how it came out.
