Called HSP , not well known but gotta love the under dog

dust75

hi ian
is it the flying fish ?
i guess your right about the under dog
its not like its the first under dog you and i have backed
i can think of another one
i think its called [/i]BYCMO [i]

Ian78

I know exactly what you mean and that was what I was thinking dus mate.

1st impressions are that these cars are awesome

The lock on the steering is mental, did try out the one fitted with the rally block tyres today and was realy impressed with it.

Not tested the one fitted with the drift tyres yet but will let the boy test that out as he can have a first go at it.

Will fit drift tyres on both when we test them again.

Lots of aluminium and very strong looking, will need to re-home the on and off switch to fit a motor heatsink.
Very good esc with brake function, doesn't get hot and works well.

hi ian
is it the flying fish??

im glad you like them
hopefully you wont forget the video camera
on the next test run

Ian78

Yes, sorry, HSP Flying Fish.

Replied to your PM, I think it went through.

What with all the rain lately will try to use them.

Ian78

Modified thema bit as there was no suspension travel and the car was too close to the ground, so fitted tough springs and had to set the camber up afterwards.

dust75

hi ian
i only just got your pm now
dont know whats going on there

surprise surprise im just going to sit here and die from not surprised
you modified them already it didnt take you long did it lol

Ian78

Exactlky dus, hahaha.
Set up the camber now due to it going out by miles after fitting themuch bettersprings....honest the thing had no suspension travel at all.

I'll put some pics on
These things are awesome, we played with them most of the day on Saturday, we had a few packs charged and got a 5300mah pack.

I will try to get a vid but wont be for a couple of weeks.

hi ian
how are you and yours hope all is well
sorry i havent been on but tis time it
was my turn to have laptop problems
the hard drive had died
my own stupid fault it had been telling me for weeks
it had a problem and needed replacing

good to hear the new cars are good fun
im thinking of getting a drift car myself
a yokomo mr-4tc sd from a friend who comes to the truck meets
but i will let you know what goes on

i was going to ask if you have tried drift wheels on the bycmos
if so what was the out come ?
is i worth getting a set of drift wheels for it
has your bycme been sent back to where it came from ?(the wardrobe)

Ian78

Welcome back mate.

Not used the bycmos for a few weeks, the drift tyres arent very sucessful to be honest, the 4x4 cars drift easy.

I'll do a search for the yokomo and see what it's like.

Got a few pics to put on a bit later

Ian78

Ok buddy, the suspension mods, the car has good suspension now and some ground clearance.

Ian78

The 1st body done for the drift cars:

dust75

hi ian
looking good so far
are they the wheels from the bycmo?

Ian78

Yes dus, they were the rally block tyres, they are getting low now though.
Just took some pics of finished shell so 5 mins.
Got 2 hpi 15 turn motors and a strip of heatsink from Maplins that have cut up for the esc for a bit of extra cooling.

Ian78

Did a google and ebay search on the Yoko, they look realy good, not very common are they?you get 7 results on ebay with no complete cars for sale .
Go for it, how much you think you could get it for?
yokomo mr-4tc sd

Proper bit of kit that dus, http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=14357

hi drool ian drool
droooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll
that is very nice drool
the paint has come out nice and it looks great with the silver

did i mention i was drooling over your car

Ian78

That means a lot thanks

Now about the Yoko.

dust75

hi ian
yes
what about the yoko?

Ian78

Forgot the masked up picture,

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

dust75

hi ian
thanks for that i can smell the paint now
i love that smell

dust75

hi ian
a friend who attends the truck meet has one
he says 50 for it without radio gear
our trucks are getting new 2.5 gig radio gear
so i think i will put the fm gear into the yoko
if i get it just depends on what its like

Ian78

As said then, go for it.
Could you explain just what the 2.5gig stuff does and why is it better than normal please
I know you need a transmitter and a reciever, is it worth it?
One thing I have noticed is that you don't need an ariel on the car do you?
What do the digital screen transmitters show on the screen?
One more thing.....what did you have for dinner

dust75

hi ian
sorry its 2.4gig not 2.5gig
i must still be in lapop mode lol
radio control equipment using the 2.4 Gig band share this radio band in a very different way
they use all the frequency channels in a quick random type scatter
this spreads the transmission of each system over the whole of the 2.4 gig radio band
each transmitter spends so little of its time on any single frequency channel
that almost zero interference is produced to any of the channels
as a result of this continual frequency hopping of the whole or part of 2.4 gig
radio band many r/c systems can be used alongside each other without co interferencea
ll the systems simply share the same 2.4 Gig radio band

the yoko
to be honest i dont know what its worth
as i dont know anything about rc drifting
i bet you know more about it than me

on most digital screen transmitters the screen is for fine tuning your car
i.e. trim, throttle and breaking

sandwich and a big slice of cake that will send the blood sugar trough the roof
(best not let the doctor know ssshhhh)
