Slideways---the Maiden Voyage!

[z-man280]

What a beautiful , but chilly day here today. I really wish i had a good video camera, and the proper set-up to shoot with. This just doesnt do her justice.

My g/f's 7 yr. old shot the video, :p , but he does well. We took his friend and went to the local church parking lot ( yup, drifting with Jesus!) and turned her loose, along with the rustler and the stampede. It was as much fun watching them run around as it was to run myself.

[trxcrazy345]

how much for the kit

[GearheadXNT2]

Beautifiul... :p no words to describe it. Ron I sure could use ya in my soon-to-come drft team :o

[z-man280]

the Z-tune skyline can be had for $125.00 on Tower,...then add other wheels ($20) if you like, your ABS, (12" for about $6.00) and radio gear. It comes with ESC lights, light unit, ect. I am using a TQ3 3 channel, so when STAGE III comes, that 3rd channel will be used:D

[GearheadXNT2]

im savin up for the RX-7 w/ the light controller, yokomo Drift tires, yokomo neon, muffler, tamiya bearings, alum. propeller shaft :cool:

[GearheadXNT2]

Inspirational. Ron just want 2 let u know i did a powerpoint on the build of your z-tune for school.

[trxcrazy345]

nice so all you need is time and drifting stuff and paint and radio would the tq work

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o


wow, i am truely flattered!

[XXWoodmanXX]

Awesome, Ron! I cannot believe that's from a silver-can motor, too! Lucky me! Heck, I've still got 3 or 4 that don't have a single rotation on them yet. :)

[z-man280]

It ran 18 minutes on a 2000 pack Roy, and i finally brougt it in...i was cold. :p
it wasnt dead yet either. 3300's will yield nearly 45 minute run times on that set up. i have a NEVER used Green Machine 2 that might find a home in her.

[XXWoodmanXX]

Nice, man! I might have to put a 27-turn stock motor in the TA02 drifter I'm getting set to build and ABS the rims. I'll be using one of the Mazda6 bodies I got in today :cool:

[LD3Furious]

W.W.J.D?
What Would Jesus DoRIFT!!!?

I think we now know...If he was a jealous man, he'd be jealous of Z's work...I know I am ;)

[4DMNYC]

Lucky me! Heck, I've still got 3 or 4 that don't have a single rotation on them yet. :)

Haha, me too. I'm thinking about popping one into an old chassis and making some drift tires. Now that I saw that vid. Thanks Ron, it's not like I don't have enough r/c stuff around here. Now I gotta get drift stuff too :D

[CarbonMadness]

Nicely done, now just get some cones set up to drift around.

[cpee]

what can i say lets go slidewayzsssssssssss

[ElectricThunder]

I can't believe you ran that body... That's way too nice to run! :eek:

Very cool though. Where'd you get the offset wheels (HPIs perhaps?)? I've been trying to find some nice offsets for my TT-01.

(Nevermind, found the wheels on tower. Sexeh!)

[4DMNYC]

Here's the chassis I can use.It's an old Kyosho KX-1. It has a front oneway. Will that effect the drift action?

[z-man280]

hehehehe,

gonan say, ya gotta read !

[z-man280]

No Tom,...it wont. If you have a ball diff tho, tighten down good, for "posi", or if a gear diff, fill it full of play-doh to lock it. Other than that, she will slide well!

[4DMNYC]

Ohhh, yeah I have a ball diff in the rear. I guess I'll have to lock it up.

[z-man280]

Tom, ya got pm

[bashin Maxxer15]

Nice job z-man!

[GearheadXNT2]

ROn gimme ur email and I'll send you the powerpoint.

[tq_racing]

Im I just stupid but i cant find the vid, I have been watching this project from the start, and cant wait to see the vid.

Looks great.

TQ

[z-man280]

the last "pic" in the first post is a photobucket video...just click on it.

[tq_racing]

Thanks, darn firewall kept it from being shown. With that being disabled the vid is awsom, think I may have to get into drifting.

Tq

[z-man280]

thanks man, glad ya like it! I have more video coming, jsut wish i could put sound to it like the pro vid guys do!

I did, however, play with MS Paint...nothing fancy, but oh well...
