TKI4 body shell

Image
I got new iPhone. I can post blog soon after RC work. I cut new body TKI4. Only difficult point is front end. TKI4 is similar assassin. Probably all long cabin body copy assassin. But quality is better TKI4. Fuel tank oil guide little hit window side. I have to cut for fuel providing window. I replace crutch from REDS to new Picco. I have to break in new engine on next fine day.        

After endurance

Image
Endurance race had been held in the rain. Became a muddy ball. Then I have to rebuild my DNX8. My DNX8 has some isuues in the race. Front lower hinge pin through rear end bush. Why it was happened? It's old one? New chassis is more flexible? And steering linkage poped out. For flexibility I added torque rod. And I replace ball end to RC8 and losi.  These have more durability than original. And add tapered washer. Steering servo return to airtronics. It has more speed with super response mode. 

Wing stay

Image
DNX8 wing mount holder likes as MP9. But MP9 has two point connection holes. One is for wing stay,one is for chassis brace. DNX8 chassis brace connect on wing stay only. Then rear chassis has flexibility. Sometimes clutch bell touched chassis, stopping engine. Maybe It needs engine mount plate. The issue is not only DNX8 but also MP9. After modified brace connecting and replaced M2C,never touch bell . But it lost stable of rear. I want to tiger throttle early out of corner. And want to break rear on  best timing and don't lost traction. Now rear break late then it makes spin. I try to put 40g weight on rear. Perfect fit Mugen weight for M2C chassis screw hole. I expected rear traction up. This is HB D815 High wing mount. Compare with normal height. It will take more roll on cornering. I put wing mount on shock stay. I expect rear break early. New red sway bar come. 2.8mm sway bar is 0.1mm large diameter than...

Gear mesh

Image
I checked rear differential gear mesh. After put off drive shaft, rotated pinion gear with fingertips. Putting off driveshaft is important. Then I could find little heavy gear mesh. It comes from diff ring gear. I wrote mark with white pen at hard meshed point. After that I shaved ring gear with dremel.

Picco out of box

Image
I opened the box of new picco engine. I sent to next in last month. Head screw hole was maid dull equipment. Then next repaired holes. Chamber is same as triton. I set two gaskets for high nitro fuel. Picco has 6.5mm reducer. It's best size. Triton has 7mm,6mm.  Crank case was tuned a bit shaved. Crankshaft and connection rod operated by MOS. This picture is fioroni crutch system. Probably Reds crutch is OEM as this. Then Fioroni new crutch is better than REDS. Evo4 crutch is on sale. I want to buy the crutch next order.

Rear modify

Image
I bought HB wing mount. These have two types. Low type and high type. I will try to use high type.  And I bought Mugen chassis weight. Currently Mugen works driver put the weight front 20g and rear 40g.  M2C chassis has holes for mounting weight. I like Jconcept punisher wing. Jconcept has another wing finisher. I'll try it.  Trifecta isn't so good for me.

Pre endurance.

I went to track. For practice tomorrow race. Many Japan nationals finalist came to track. They run rap 32s. My rap is 36s. https://youtu.be/sa-Yjh48lAg I replace new bell that made by Sworkz. It's just fit.  I use avid gasket. It's made high grade white rubber. I broke my main IPhone. I can't write blog rapidly till that are repaired.
