Better pic of the 2 golds

new pics soon

( please note the 2 gold VDF won't ever be built so don't say "gold will look nice" or "golds better" )

Jeremy.

So no one likes it?

Everything is just so impressive everyone was speechless.. I guess
1 vdf for bashing, 1 vdf gold edition for the shelves and another gold edition just for spares!!!

I don't bash on it i drive it 14 hours 39 min i've been driving it ( and 2 rebuilds in that time )


Jeremy.

You keep a record of your run times?

Yes from the DX3R.

Jeremy.

coool.. my radio doesnt have one of those lol I think im the only one left here stll running on fm

2.4ghz is a world better you can tune your car so much more.

Jeremy.

I agree.. I just dont replace things unless they break. So fm is FTW for me!!!

get a 2.4ghz jammer and you will be the only one running

since everyone is in 2.4 guess what.. im REALLY the only one running on my frequency

Its builds like these that make me want to get back into drifting, but since i got mud in my blood offroad is FTW for me, got a FOFF and a 5T to keep me busy for now.

I have way to many cars , trucks and buggies ( 94 ) i love off road but drift because its really alot more fun then racing.

blue is better

Very well said Panda!

Jeremy.

@Tamiya
2X Eagle Racing GRT TA05
2X VDF
1X FIJON MDF

am i correct?

... & longer time than expected to get the 5-petal "hana" formation to look right at that angle

Re did my car stand sticker bomb style :hehheh:

my new rear belt tensioner works alot better then before ( note not gold anymore its gun metal now )

still needs flange bearings tho

Now my new still i've been talking about

GOLD!!!

can't run a foam bumper tho kinda a shame but not a big problem

mounted



moded the diffuser pulled it up about 5mm makes it look so much better was
going to make my own but this was the easy way out

you can see were its cut and pulled up here better

If you want to know what paint i used ( PM me to know how i do it )











nice clean sharp line i did good

No more pics of the shell till its done


Jeremy.

@ jay you are not the only one!! i'm still using my fishing rod controller!

nice build anyway!! vdf population is booming!!
