HPI goes UK

By -
HPI was bought by UK company.
HPI CEO was Japanese Tatsuro Watanabe.
I know him when he was 1/12 electrical pan car racer 35 years ago.
He had joined AYK works team.
AYK was a Japanese RC racing brand.
When I was child I dreamed AYK works team colored racer.
At the time speed controller was like this.
And had no suspension.
AYK made independent suspension car named cyclone.
But they fail to develop the car.
After that AYK looses Kyosho yokomo stop working.
HPI named 1/10 EP touring car cyclone too.
Another AYK works team member is Koji Sanada.
He found Mugen.
He design and develop MBX in Europe now.
He got GP buggy worlds title in 1990.
Now GP buggy worlds is battled by American drivers.
But chassis is battled by Japanese AYK and Kyosho automodel.

Kyosho is not RC constructor.
Is a trading company.
MP is constructed by Automodel.
Famous MP designer is a employee of Automodel.
They knows only RC driver can't  get money.
RC is small business.

They founded company and sponsored young boy for getting title

Some of them know education is more important racing RC.
I don't like young boy pro driver.
Company should not use to child for business.
In August HB will release D815V2.
It has many options and 2 type chassis same plice.
Is it stock bargain?

Reliability of FUTAB

 It is a valid concern, as that reputation did persist in the RC community for a time. Here is an explanation of the current situation and why that "rumor" no longer reflects the reality of their high-end gear. Is Futaba Prone to Failure? (The Current Reality) The short answer is: No, the current high-end Futaba gear is exceptionally reliable. In fact, it is considered the global benchmark for durability in the grueling 1/8 GP Buggy category. 1. Where did the rumors come from? Historically, there were a few reasons for this reputation: Heat Issues in the Coreless Era: Older high-speed coreless servos pushed performance to the limit. In 1/8 GP Buggies—where vibration is high and races are long—these servos sometimes overheated and suffered board failure. Complexity of Early Tech: Futaba was a pioneer in S.BUS and telemetry. Early adopters sometimes faced "troubles" that were actually caused by incorrect settings or power supply issues, which were then blamed on th...

I want bulk head. But it will stock on end of June. But I found another brand Arrma. Is the bulkhead same spec as DNX8? Is Arrma one of Hobbico brand? The picture is Durango. It is 2 dollars expensive.

Break In Part3

By -

This picture is same type OS engine piston. But each engines take different way of break in. Already you can understand. Left side is running in,right side is stand in.  Each engine left side is exhaust side. Thermal expansion lean left side continued long time. Then piston top scrape right side only.  And piston side doesn't scrape uniformity. Stand in disuse piston. Not break in,only do break. It takes a balance by chance for short term. So I said heat cycle is very important. Heat cycling protect piston to lean thermal. Perfect break in is like this. Piston top scraping belt width is uniformity on zoom up shot! AND piston side luster is uniformity.
