Modellbaumesse Friedrichshafen

Some pictures from the modeling fair 2012. Yesterday we were giving a little driftshow at the tamiya booth. Here are some impressions from that.






















PS: if you want pictures from other modelmaking booths (not rc drift related) please let me know in the comments ;)

Beautiful Twins

The two Team Samurai FCs. The green one belongs to Takumi and the purple one is mine.

Low and flush, just as we love them ;)










Sadly my body isn't finished yet - still missing wipers, mufflers, a wing and the light kit.



I hope you enjoyed our little "preview" shooting. Both will get some more details and then we'll take some action shots.

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
