RC Build 1:10 Skyline R34GTR and a 1:10 S2000

It all  starts with the TT01 Tamyia chassis copy from the majority of Chinese manufacturers. 

I chose the PMM chassis because:

    1 - it has a aluminium propeller shaft

    2 - if has aluminium wishbones instead of vinyl ones (however if you are not used to the power of a beast like this, I recommend you buy the vinyl one and later replace the wishbones.

All these chassis come with plastic wheels and plastic main gears. Ditch them, They will crack with the power and fail. Buy Aluminium wheels and SOLID tires. Use Super glue to bind the tires to the wheels.

Replace the main gear that connects to the motor gear-head with metal ones. 

Choose a powerful servo, the rotational speed achieved with this setup is so high that the wheel s will try to keep straight and 3KG servos will not be enought.

use either super glue or nail polish to Fix EACH AND EVERY BOLT

IMPORTANT - YOU WILL NEED engine coolers and high capacity 3S bateries.

I'm using GXF power 5.2Amps because they are light, durable and powerfull on discharge.

For the R34, I Equipped the car with a 60Amp ESC (platinum) from surpasshobby  and a surpasshobby 6000Kv motor

The real world S2000 is known for High RPM engine, so I managed a 150Amp ESC from SurpassHobby coupled, with an Ansmann racing 3.5Turns (10800Kv) motor

R34 cover on and the s2000 is still under preparation.

The result is a VERY chalenging to drive set. Here is the r34 tests with a slick concrete floor in the garage, the s2000 makis things even more chalenging, so I changed back from 2WD to 4WD.

And side by side with the little brother, a WLToys144010 transformed (something for a different article)

and the ZDRacing 1:10 truck, again heavily transformed (another article).

More will follow as I keep modding these babies.

Ok... so the S2000 is waiting on an even more extreme motor and ESC for a good 11000Kv, but I hated the color and overall "cheap" look of the body. So Today we dedicated some time to it:

Carbon Wrapping on the red and china-made body. 

Look something else, now.

Back to 4WD conversion...front diff comes out, shaft, mounts and half shafts go back in.  It's hard enough to control as a 4wd, let alone as a 2WD.

Rubber tires out (they where coming out in pieces anyway)

Foam Tires go in... and super-glued to the aluminium rims.

Chassis screws re-painted with nail polish

Leds Installed and... Voila

The 35 Kg servo is a beast... let's test the response:
