#2551
There really are some awesome cars in here!
I'm getting back into messing with my RS4 lately and got a list of HPI part #'s together for an Evo X shell,intercooler/muffler,and the molded GT wing.I'll be sure to put pics up when it's finished but I have to order it all still so it'll be a few weeks. I'm pretty excited to start messing with the car again,I had just got a set of drift tires for it when I shifted interests a few years ago and now I'll actually get to use them,haha.

On the BMW,any certain reason for not putting the LED's in the same headlight housing on each side? If it was unintentional,I'm sorry to point it out,haha.
I got the intercooler ordered yesterday and I was considering what to use for piping.I see a lot of you guys with some very realistic couplers and piping and it looks very good and I was wondering if you guys made that or if it was purchased.I have some aluminum I plan to bend and put a high polish on,and it should work out,but I wanted to ask if anyone could tell me what the outside diameter of the inlet or outlet in thousandths.If you own some calipers and an HPI intercooler,you would rock if you could get me that measurement so I could check my tubing,haha.

cool!!! now that you mastered the figure 8, make a layout. A layout will make you drift within intended lines and teach you good control. Love the quality of the video, nice shooting! anyone else around where you live that can drift with you?

Yeah I know the feeling, when I started out there really was no one but then I ran into a couple of guys who were starting out and we kept at it and we grew. We have several clubs and teams now, so hang in there, if you stick with it and spread the word before you know it you will have a couple of people.

Here's a pic of my drifter. Yok RX7 shell on a Losi XXX-S. Was a shelf queen for over a year but I dug it out and I've been running a pack every night after work.

Negative.
It didn't drift too bad. It was originally done just playing around to see how much i could get. I ended up with much less.
This is a pic of steering angle after a lil bit of work on the steering blocks.
