020 - Trailing Arms Maybe

This project started between 2008 and 2009 after I bought a Tamiya Subaru Brat re-released. I always liked rc cars with trailing arms and when I bought my Brat I started to think if trailing arms could fit also in front. After some experiments I realized that it wasn't an easy modify so I switched to a easier modify to the stock suspensions... but without satisfaction.
Sometimes my girlfriend buys japanese books or magazines from Amazon Japan and everytime she also buys a copy of RCWORLD for me (of course I can't read anything but I like how japanese guys play rc cars). This time I found an article about modified vintage or re-released rc cars so I restarted to think about my Brat with trailing arms in front, so I did some experiments with an old chassis and some used parts and I think to have found the way.
With many thanks to japanese guys and to their way to play with rc cars.

019 - Good Old Stuff

for some weeks I surfed the web looking for a new brushed motor for my FF03. I would never thought it was so difficult to find something that  I liked. Ok, we are in the brushless era but I thought that the big names of rc still produce 540 for old boys like me: I found only chinese rubbish.
Today, during one of the periodic "great cleanings" of my rc corner, I found my old Kyosho Mega 16x2 and this old Reedy (17 turn maybe?) both motors were dismembered but in a hour I've clean and rebuilted the Reedy one and I put it on my FF03: the car has become a lightning and I need more practice to drive it.

I think it's clear where to look for quality

018 - Another Austrian Esc

After the build of my CR01 I return to give attention to my FF03 that I have not used since last summer.
This month I bought the Robitronic Speedstar 2 12t that I decided to fit in to my FF03 and after the many upgrades I installed last year I'm quite happy about this car... there is only a problem: the driver, during a run of few minutes I made a(nother) crack  in the body and I must to change it soon.
For sure I must to reconsider the gear ratio because I'm not sure having understood to much about it.

My FF03 with the TRF shocks I bought last summer and the new Robitronic on the Duratrax car stand I received today.

I really love this little austrian cubes and this one pushes really fast!
