Drift Meeting in Karlsruhe

The track:


My Yokomo RX-7 FC3S
(before total destruction - will post my progress to try and save this shell soon too)




Was a nice day overall and my setup is perfect now.
Went for stock ARD springs all around, changed my camber in the rear to -2° and front -5° and with my new steering system it just worked like a charm. Looked so real <3

R2 Hobbies Stealth Mounts

My R2 Hobby Stealth mounts came in the mail today
and now I can confirm that they will fit the ARD CER D11
without any modification or problems. Was suprised myself
how easy and well it fitted. You just need to run one of the
big and small spacers on the front and one small spacer on the back
on each side.

The Quality seems pretty good (perfect, considering it was less then 10€ for me).
Only chipped paint you will get is where the grub screws go, but you cant really
see these places anyway, so it doesn't really matter imo.

It is pretty solid and easily adjustible. Fits my JZX and
FC3S without much adjusting (just height and angle adjustment
which will take 1min max to change). Pretty awesome
product, would definately recommend!

Still many spare spacers and screws left.

Pretty parallel, dont let the caster fool you ;-)

CER D11R


finally finished the build with my new parts. Exuse the bad 
quality of the pictures, I will take new ones with natural light tomorrow.
Some parts look so weird under flash-light.
Red screws from Square. 
D-like steering crank and Yokomo tie rod ends
New red shafts from CER D08. Also more red screws ♥
New RC-art CVDs in the rear with 51mm.

new parts for the CER

 new Yokomo ballheads


spice medium-soft springs for the front

 rc-art 51mm shafts and more yokomo ballheads lol


RC art compared to stock OTA-R31

while reassembling shafts, its a good
idea to also grease them again :)

awesome red screws♥

CER D08 red turnbuckles

and now i also put protective foil on top of the
carbon deck, to prevent my batteries to scratch
it (see VDF for bad example after a few hundred 
runs)
