Hottest talk in town!

Advanced Electronics (AE) debut in last IIC and kicked butt with many controversy then team CRC(importer of this ESC in US) came back to the Cleveland race and done it again, this time rest of the lapped drivers talking about BAN this ESC!

like old say "Bad publicity is still a good publicity" nobody can banned anything like this, it's proven in history (of RC racing) instead of go back to their drawing board and burn mid night oil and get some work done most of this ppl just wanted to whine and cry about it, more crying you do more people will pay attention to this ESC and end up buying one.

the price of this ESC is $400 USD as of Nov/2009 but I believe this is first batch in factory in Sweden came to US in FEDEX, once more demands and more production units take a place with slower shipping, I know this cost can be adjusted in reachable price.

IMO, Let them get paid for their hard work!

here is the thread in RCtech for this ESC

lipo battery price dropping

keep your eyes open or hang on till Christmas time, we might see some huge dropping on Lipo battery

also there is news out there who also found Lipo battery safer (no explosion) and we might don't have to see this Lipo battery get replaced by Li Fe battery so quick cause of safety reasons.

Battery tray tweak

I was rebuilding my car to get ready for the Queens track grand opening on end of this month, which got delayed till next year!

anyway I was tweaking my car to get flatten it out then found out even a Lipo plastic tray does make a chassis quite stiff and tweaked

I removed my battery tray only to find out chassis is slightly tweaked with a tray in the place, I think this only happen if you tape your battery to the tray instead of foam tapes on place under the upper deck.

then I was thinking about the solution for last few days and came up with following.

1: enlarge those tray hole and countersink larger so placement of battery mounting holes don't interfere with the chassis tweak.

2:milled out 1mm off the tray's mounting ears and upright Alu stands 1 mm to mount silicone seal (from shock) between Alu stands off and a tray.

this way my chassis can stay flat and have natural flex on corners with cushion of silicone seals, I'll post few pics as soon as I done it, on here and maybe on the RCtech too

Real movie about the RC car racing?

we been talking about how the "speed" channel should have a coverage for the RC racing and how real media give no coverage to us.

well here is the chance we been talking about, right here in NYC!

I already bought a ticket for the movie " Carpet racers" showing at Queens Int Film festival here at Astoria, Queens, NYC.

I watched the trailer and extra footage few times and it does looks great, I also visit director "Jay Thames" page at IMDB.COM and found his films are very interesting or I should say intriguing.

all you RC racers around the NYC need to be there or keep your paragon can shut next time when we get low turn out at a local track.

anyway I ran similar to Mike Haynes set up last year at 360, I did okay with that, this year I have few ideas I been thinking to make my car run faster, as I progress my work toward end of Nov, I will share some thoughts on this blog.
