SRX8

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.

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.

Today AMain baggage arrived. Proline blockade inner is hard. It's little harder pivot ball car. Pivot ball suspension move progressively then tyre is need deformation. And track surface has bump. I punched holes on inner as Ty Tesmann. I usually use AKA red inner for PL. Sworkz parts has cost performance. The clutch bell is made by spring steal. It's ceramic ball bearing. Ifs for center diff. Long endurance is needed durability for thermal. Continue to paint. Finally I got avid gaskets for pipe. Avid has something good.

Today I been to Tokyo. Mainly the purpose is to go to RC shop. A little for my business. I bought Mugen front suspension for stock. It's shock o rings. It's center diff case. Kyosho case is large diameter. Then the case bite small stone between chassis and case. It makes big scratch to case. And I order fuel 4L x 4 sending to my office. I use Klotz international 30. Klotz has two type special fuel for buggy. The international is for topend tune. Another Eco special is for pick up. When I changed allots Klotz  , I feel I can't stop engine. Idling is so stable.

I've been in Tokyo today. I went to RC shop champ at akihabara. I bought some parts. It's a trifecta wing.   It has two types flip. I want to know what difference these flip effect. And I bought shock Pistons. I bought two types. Both are 1.3 x 8 holes. One is tapered piston hole. Tapered piston is used for front. I used Xray progressive spring for front shock. Then I select tapered hole piston too. It has progressively effect. It's Mugen mbx7r front suspension arm. Maybe it can be fit for DNX8. I will try to use that. Now I use Xray. It's so expensive. Mugen is 5$ in Japan. I want to buy MP9 TKI4 body shell. But it's out of stock now. My development DNX8 is in the second stage. There is no issue about durability in last run. And I understood basically setup methods. My DNX8 is almost another car. But I think original design ideas are very good. I keep to develop DNX8 for competition.

AMain bag arrive at home today. First M2C chassis! It had two skid guards made by iron. It's rear end. It is shaved for skid guard. It makes flat on wearing the guards. Front end too. MBX users add weight on chassis each frontend and rearend. Probably M2C chassis effect same as this. It makes traction increase. Dirango? Maybe I missed order! It's rear sway bar. It is 2.6mm.

I warry about Durango parts providing. AMain can provide parts after soon I put parts on cart or wish list. Probably they don't want to make dead stock. Then they watch customers need. 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.

Ordered products arrived today. Our race have control tire. Super soft compaund is good yet. Then I bought impact super soft. And blockade m4. And bought front end parts. It's Mugen upright. It's kingpin ball adjust nut. Screw pitch is different with Durango. And lite weight. It's MBX7R front drive. I have used rear drive. Once front drive pop out on crash. Then I change front bush to 0.5 inside. Probably Mugen front drive is 1mm longer than rear. Receiver connector pop out from buttery connector. Then I bought lock holder. On the race buggy is set high speed range. Then durability is important.

I've returned Japan without accident. Some parts arrived from AMain hobbies. Reds Quattro clutch looks precious. Reds founder is Mario Rossi. He was belong with Nova. Then he went to GRP. Few years ago GRP engine factory barned out. GRP can't continue develop nitoro engines. Then Mario found Reds and tune Picco base engine. First His work is very good and so precious. But now Reds buy large amount engines. Some of them are... And spare shoe. This is my first Jconcept tire. I use to use AKA or PL. There is no burry at rim. It's good quality. To night I'll buld. Tomorrow it will be snow. If not so I  want to go truck.

ForAssassin body for MP9 arrived from GB. It's made by Lead finger racing. I feel the body small like a EP body. It has narrow and long cabin. Hand made taste. Detail finish is not good. Not like as major brand. I'll start painting this weekend. Aerodynamic performance is good. Another brand mimics Assasin. Long cabin body make easy driving to go straight after jump.

Clutch system is expendable. I don't want to pay the cost. I hear four shoe clutch make bell long life. And clutch bearing too. Then I want to try four shoe clutch system. And I've tried carbon shoe. Mugen carbon shoe was not good. Now I use Sworkz carbon shoe. I search four shoe clutch. Reds Quattro clutch. It can adjust spring tension. And shoe are processed edge round. And nova. The shoe is light weight. I want to buy Nova. But nova out of stock. Then I order Reds clutch. It takes $59.

Lead Finger Racing is a RC parts brand in USA. http://shop.leadfingerrc.com/ They have a own shopping site. They develop Assassin body. Assassin have narrow and long cabin. Ryan Lutz use Assassin body shell now. I want to buy one. They have a body shell for MP9. In official site Assassin is sold for $24. But shipment fee to Japan is $46. It is too expensive. I search another RC shop. I found a shop on eBay in GB. I pay  2GBP only for shipment. They have stock only one. I can't wait to get one from GB.

I've been to Tokyo. I went to RC shop Champ at Akihabara. I bought some parts. I doubt only front under spring weight too heavy. Then I'll try to replace under kingpin ball. A ball is 6g lighter than original. Another are expendables. OS plugs fit with PICCO. OS plug is the best. These are for shock. I want to have option 48t spur gear. I'll try to mount MP9 center diff. If these could mount to DNX8,I buy another diff parts and mount break disc. I want to make low downforce wing for long jump stable. Bitty wing is similar EP buggy wing. Trifecta has center fins. I like Trifecta for GP buggy.
