WORLDS WARMUP results

Image
Worlds warmup was over at Vegas. Final is cancelled for rain fall. Semi final order became result. Short shock US buggies remain results. High speed bumpy American style track good for them. Japanese driver Matsukura can't remain the final. But I think he can get worlds title. Serpent is not good that has US style suspension. I think serpent make buggy as same as racing car. Too solid and no clearance for engine buggy. Engine makes big vibration to chassis. Xray is not good too. I had used xb8. I think xb8 rear suspension arms is bad. Short arm make chassis to move up down rapidly. Then I set up 2mm wide wheel hub on rear. But totally balance is difficult to setup. Durango What's deferent from normal? I can't run normal for competition. About Durability and weights. Total weights is not matter. It's important where are weights. Total light machine can add weight on under spring. In summer dry surface condit...

Worlds warmup

Image
Worlds warmup is held on Vegas. Tesmann papa punch holes on tire inner. Are there any bump on the track? Japanese ace driver Naoto Matsukura can beat US pro drivers. Is Travis Durango almost normal? I don't think normal Durango can run hard track. If Durango wasn't continue to develop GP buggy why they attend the race? Xray xb8 2016 will release soon. The body is long cabin and rear end is flat. Like a MP9.

Retire

16 guise join the yesterday race. On qualify my best lap is 36s. Expert best 33s. On my trqunique the lap is not bad. Truck surface is very High grip condition if I select diff oil ticker. I'll scrape 1s.But handling is good. On main final my new front suspension lower arm was broken again. It's not cause any clash. At the shock pin hole shock pin cut the arm downward. Does plastic material have any problem?

Maintenance 2

Image
I've maintenanced DNX8 all day long. Build Control tire. New front section. Crutch bearing replace. Reds cuatro crutch make bearing long life.And feeling is so good. Carburetor change to Picco. Front diff oil and bearing replace. Front center drive shaft replace MP9 Front center drive shaft. DNX8 shaft has already big clearance on joint. And Kyosho is lighter 2g. Rear hub career bearing is no problem. Put on new body! Race ready  My DNX8 has weight under 3500g. Without fuel.with tire and buttery.

Maintenance for race.

Tomorrow I'll go to race. Then I'm maintaing DNX8. I broke front suspension arm. The crack is from the shock end pin  to pin stop screw. Then I scrape suspension arm only upper side on this picture.And scrape shock end ball. Mugen MBX7R front drive shaft longer 1mm than rear drive shaft. It can adjust only bush. On the univ side shape of connection is different. It is for not to touch for suspension arm end.

NEO16 end

Image
Neo 16 has ended. On the final Proline tire was good. Long distance durability is better than AKA since last worlds. PL can be used softer compound. AKA have to develop new rabuer material. MP9 tki4 has C hub front suspension. It good at the flat cray hard packed surface truck. There are these situations Cavarieri RC8B3 is fast. Only OS engine is passport to win. Ty Tesmann , Tebo, Cavarieri use. X-ray raise sponsorship penalty again at semifinal as last worlds. I like X-ray products but works team operation doesn't like. Probably then major driver leave the team.

Neo16 start

Image
Neo 16 has held in UK. Cavalieri got Q1. Why are Tesmann and Ryan Mayfield there? AKA typo is best tire at the truck. AKA driver has advantage. If Ryan Lutz remained Durango,

DNC

DNC had held. It's very exciting race! 45min brittle makes 2seconds difference. W Ryan get good engine and US taste car that have short stroke shocks. They decide  good selection leave for CRF engine. Then they can battle with Ty. This year worlds be in US. Kanai tests at Vegas. Japanese driver Matukura drives TKI4. He can buttle with big3. He is already worlds champ on EP. I'm looking forward to worlds. https://youtu.be/zo-TUJ8W3DQ
