I have the spool upgrade as well. But since my ball diff must be locked tight, I’ll wait for it to break or something. Thank you both for confirming that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

I am watching this build with great interest Sir. Great interest. Drift rc has been on my radar since 2006 while I was stationed in Japan. Those who remember GROOVYDRIFT.com kniw whats up. Digging the Camaro and I sympathise with you on the blurry vision thing. I have a bad habit of pulling small detail work over my lap, negating the entire purpose of a bench lol just the other night I lost a wheel nut for the kyosho pro but found it. I turn 41 in june so I know your pain lol Anyway, keeping an eye on this build... Bahaha totally unintentional pun! I cant decide between an mst or yokomo yd2. Time (and my wallet?) Will tell... Cant wait to see paint on the Camaro! The falken 69 on the cover of rc action was sweet. |

OSRC, I have my suspension setup the same way as you. However my front end lacks rebound. If I press my front end down, it doesnt necessary bounce right back up. When moving it does. But when its just sitting still. If I press the front down, it doesn't just jump right back up to ride height. I also feel like my front end lifts up pretty high. Please take a look at this video. Since we both appear to have our cars setup the way MST said too. Im left wondering if I have a shock issue. Because I DO have the red MST upgraded shocks. But Im not sure if this is normal or not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SfPdy8orZc |

Still have to sort out the electrics, but since I had my new airbrush out, I decided to paint up the body. I was torn a bit on how to paint...I'm just not one for flashy paint schemes. I know that's a big thing with drift cars, but I like mine a bit more understated. So some PL Metallic Charcoal was laid down, and flat black on the hood. When assembling the body, this odd cut on the front really stood out. Now I can't unsee it...really kinda ruins what it otherwise a spectacular body. Still have to add the lights, but I absolutely love how it came out.....Really like the color, I'll be using it on a few more builds for sure. |

Thank you. That looks bad ass! It seems it’s normal and helps shift weight to the rear on the gas. At least that’s what the drift track owner at super G told me. And another mst user told me too. However! it appears I might have used the wrong shock shock end cap. When I got the all metal mst shocks, I thought I used the end caps that came off my plastic shocks. When I looked at the exploited view it shows the “0” length end caps. But after double checking it seems I used the .25 extended length ones. Swapping back to the “0” length limited my front body lift in half. It’s still very soft. And I have some firmer fronts coming. But I feel better knowing it appears to be normal. Mine was just exaggerated with the longer end caps on the shocks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Did it hurt you to make such a good looking Chevy? Nothing better than 5 spoke wheels on old body styles. |
