Kyosho Inferno getting a charge

That's my Kyosho inferno, 10 years old, getting a receiver pack charge. Mods include alum shocks front n rear, anti roll bar, Hitec high torque metal gear servo, servo saver, Thunder Tiger Pro 21BR racing engine - very high torque!

Toykar Pte Ltd go suck it!

Old Kyosho Inferno running blazing quick with NO help from you snobbish hoes. Let's just watch me trounce your racers with this "old worthless junkpile". I'm training for that right now. I might just get a Herbie body shell to suitably stylize this grudge match.

Idiots Against Afternoon RC Noise

Some dickhead came up to me to tell me what a noisy ruckus I was making with my Kyosho Inferno Nitro RC buggy on the barren land near to the condo he lived at "on a Sunday afternoon". Well precisely! Firstly, there's a very good reason why I'm not playing in the condo premises, but on public land, not in the morning or at night when people may be sleeping. Other than that, it's just too bad he's living there. Call it a locational hazard that is not within my responsibility. I got so pissed off and proceeded to drive my RC car very hard and I think my handling skills improved.

STX OSV was a rather good stock pick! Since purchase at $0.79 per share, it's made an EPS of $0.37! Under 2 months! It will be great if it does similar 13X yield like STX PO.

I'm starting to think DHL is superior to Fedex.

DHL quotes delivery within "" days. Fedex quotes "" business days. What? Fedex doesn't work through the weekend? How slow! Better off with EMS than Fedex. Cheaper, trackable, and just as slow.

Brought my Inferno Dx out for a spin today at the Segar track. Runs well but session hampered by faulty glow starter. On the other hand, Norris' EP Traxxas Slash 2wd and RC44 proved rather fun! I was very impressed with the practically "instant" torque on tap and how light these Lipo-powered RC models are! The lipos are so much lighter than the NiMHs and have such long running times! Impressive also was how well the Slash took jumps and flips- without any breakages. Neither did Norris break anything when flying ramps at the skate park. Well, I shall be joining in on Brushless EP Lipo action soon... My BSD Racing Land Ripper 2 is on the way!

Masami Hirosaka's Yokomo MR-4BX EP RC 4WD Buggy

Http://Hpisavagex46.wordpress.com This is Masami Hirosaka's Yokomo MR-4BX prototype RC buggy. Hirosaki and Shinya Kimura were among the race-testers who helped shape the development of the resulting production buggy as we see now. Unlike other popular 1/10 4WDs out there, the MR-4BX uses belt drive for both front and rear axles. While belt-drive is popular in on-road RC, and lighter in weight, a shaft-driven drive-train is generally thought to be more durable and reliable in ensuring all motor torque is well channeled into the wheels - as opposed to the skipping of a belt stretched from overuse. Nonetheless, the MR-4BX has proven itself to be of a worthy design by gaining pole-position in several 1/10 EP off-road races. Stay tuned to http://Hpisavagex46.wordpress.com

King Motors China's KM Baja 3.0 1/5 Buggy

Http://hpisavagex46.wordpress.com This is China's answer to the Hpi Baja 5b SS. Full-option parts equipped, and RTR too! In fact, the parts are fully-interchangeable with the iconic Hpi gasoline buggy. Down to the 29cc engine, this is a Chinese-marinated Baja 5b SS clone. However, the previous KM Baja 2.0 was ridden with manufacture and technical faults. Let's see if the KM 3.0 is better.
