Eihän painon lisäys voi olla mikään vaihtoehto  ;D  Mutta tosiaan kyllä ihan uskomattoman hienosti näyttää
auto toimivan etelän auringon alla toivotaan, että kylmä pohjoinen hiukan rauhoittaa tahtia  ::)

Epäilisin, että päinvastoin. Uskon, että tuo setuppi toimii paljon paremmin täällä. Onhan se tänne pohjoiseen säädettykin. Tulee tiukkaa kilibailua.  :P

UPDATES!

I got some parts from Sweden to test:


Dravpnir's Magic Wands!


They are fitting to my anorectic chassis setup quite nicely.


The old chassis spacers.


Magic Wands!


Assembled.


Gunnar body mounts fits perfectly on these!


Tobias told me to give them some Zarizi throttle finger. That's the least I can do. We are approaching summer here in southern Finland and I will be able to test these on sunday. Will send a proof video later on!

[Zarizi Tech]

Got decent 25 packs of hard training and proper chassis beating last weekend. The Magic Wands are holding up great! I didn't manage to "drive them down". In words, I think it's a great product and I would definately love to see it on mass production! Very good quality Dravpnir! I would definately buy a set for my SuDu Pro as well.

Rig held down it's own, and stayed in one piece. Then I realized a few things I needed to fix:


Cutting down the Xcitier hood, so that servo and battery can move freely and the suspension is working. Thank god I didn't need to cut the main part of the hood, cause it's a masterpiece!


I also had to cut the rear end of it. It was touching the uppers while trying to push it down.


Then I saw that my passenger front tire is turning too much at times. So I made a stopper to the knuckle. It's a washer and a rubber spacer, so it can let a little loose if neccasery. I got this idea from Hittman. Thanks to him.


Bad pic, but now it's stopping the movement, before it will turn too much and jam the driveline.


There you can see the steering and the cutted body.

We'll have our first outdoor comp next weekend, and this thing is well up for it. Top shafty drivers are included on this. I'll add pics and video afterwards. Hopefully it'll all go well.

Onnittelut voitosta RFOT's Crawl Cupin 2014 avauskisassa!
Aika rajua menoa, ylivoimaa ja hieno katsoa miten se pitäisi tehdä.

Onnea   8)

[SlidSlide]

Suvereenia menoa. Maailmasta ei kovin montaa löydy, jotka tämän miehen pystyy ajamalla voittamaan.

Mutta se kolmannen pätkän kolmas portti ;D...

Kiitän. Omat ajot osui paria mollaa lukuunottamatta aika kohdilleen!

Niin... pitihän sitä "ajamalla" yrittää.  ;)

I had an awesome comp day with my team mates last saturday in Inkoo! Everything went smooth again:


Few points difference to second.


Pics from course one, which was a repeat bonus course. I managed to get the bonus eight times!












And these are from the second course, which had three -10 bonuses.




Cutting the body seemed to help a lot.








Almost got stuck after second bonus gate.


And these pics are from course three, which had multiple bonuses.




So close for making it, but then I hit the gate. Two of the guys made it with full throttle.

Video from the fist course, which I'm really proud of!

Next comp will be just after two weeks. Can't wait!

Thanks a lot guys!

Updates again. Testing and tuning this time!


Got some rear axle weights from Norway. Thanks hph!


Modifing the rear axle tubes, so the weights will fit.


Mounted. They weight 50g each.


My idea is to get the chassis and shocks work better with all the weight in down.


My old front weight setup. 50g per tire.


New one! 100g per tire!


No more mr. lightweight....


200g more weight on the axles.

Well I had a go with the new setup. What a dissapointment it was. No change to the acting of the rig what so ever... Only thing what I noticed was the foams being way too soft for these weights - of course.

I didn't want to give in on my testings. I put my old weights back. 50g per tire on the front and nothing on the rear axle. Then I swithced the green springs for silver ones. And now it's really going as I want it to. Soft suspension which feels alive and goes well with the changes of terrain. I'm going with this setup to the next comp on saturday.

It also stays lower than in the previous setup, which is a great relief to the sidehilling. And it's no longer lifting the front tires so much, but if it does I can just swing the front tires and it'll come right down, cause the suspension is soft enough. Let's see how it works out in the comp.

Trying to find some cliffhanger spots.


Quite nice spot.


Same spot from the side.


Rig is working extremely well now. I can't wait for saturday to comp with it again!


Hopefully everything holds up and the good moode continues!

As usually pics and video will follow next week!

Onnittelut suvereenista voitosta! Voisin sanoa, että tänä vuonna ei muita voittajia nähdä, vaan tämä kuski ajelee omassa "ylhäisyydessään".
Ero muihin on VALOVUOSI, mutta samahan tuo kaikille on ja paras sen vie, onnea!   8)

I'm back from the second comp of our local cup!


We had a record in participants of the Shafty class. Nine rigs and ten drivers!


Well, don't get too excited!


Pics from the course one.




Here is course two, which went great! Two bonuses and only two reverses.


Gates nine and ten from course two.


It was a great spot.


Going for bonus #1 on course four.


Flat out gate on course four as well.


Bonus #3.


The gate that I did not manage to climb and my score went down to positive 26. I took several reverses and tried to ride the right gate over but, wasn't able to do that. And with the new bypass rule I had over 30 points from that gate when I finally lifted it to the next. Then I hit the next gate and it was over for me. First DNF for me this year...


Repeat bonus course #5.


It surely was fun thing to drive!


Gate #9.


The smug face. Six times bonus and score negative 38.


Here are the results. And they speak for themselves.

Course two was the best one for me. Here it is!

I have been doing some testing and tuning after the comp as well. I changed the driver's rear spring to green insted of silver. Now it's not lifting the front passenger tire so much. I also did switch the place of rear shocks in the chassis. Getting better all the time. Little things, which may have big meaning to handling of the rig.

Next comp will be first of the Finnish RC Crawling Series. It's located on the same spot as the last comp in Nokia. Can't wait to get started!

Updates!


Some random pics from the rig before we start Finnish RC Crawling Series 2014 tomorrow. I've been training.


New suspension/link setup on the rear axle to remove tq.


BWD motor saver!


And the new motor!


My old Conflux  and the brand new Stubby, which has got to be my favourite from Team Brood's motors.


Comp weight.

It's ready for the Finnish Series opener tomorrow. I have been training a lot, so I'm expecting high level of performances. It will all be clear tomorrow.

Kiitokset!  :)

Yesterday I had a great comp day with all the best drivers from Finland.


Terrain looks damp?


On course two. New stubby making it fly!


On course three. Repeat bonus course --> Gate one, bonusbonus!


After the morning the weather started to improve. No more slippery rocks.


At the end of course three.


Dropped the passenger front to a hole. Two reverses and a gate because of that. Allthought, that really was the only real mistake in the comp for me.


Few reverses on the way to gate ten.


Happy at the end of the comp. Awesome result after many hours of training!


And huge thanks to the sponsors of course!

Here is my performance from course two. Just two reverses!


And finally the results.

One week and then the Finnish Series continues. Nothing to do with the rig, I think it's going just fine.

Onnittelut jälleen voitosta!   8)

En usko, että ajamalla tätä hemmoa voittaa tänä vuonna kukaan!

[Zarizi Tech]

I had really fun weekend in the north with my team! Excellent weather, good beer, fantastic mojito!


And was able to take the first position. All day I had just 18 mistakes in terms of the points. So I'm extremely pleased with that. Really fun courses to drive and all went as planned.


With a small point difference to the second. Beware Yoshiaki, I'm coming to the Nationals!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... DQY6Fz-6WA
Here's what made the difference mainly. I was the only one to go negative in this course three.

Tomorrow we will have the third local comp. That will be the last one before The RC4WD Nordics 2014. Hoping to score good again! I'll add more pics later on.

[Zarizi Tech]

I'm back from the last crawling comp before The Nordics.


We had really nice place to crawl in southern part of Finland.


Endless grippy rock and good places where to put gates. And the weather was really warm and sunny. Perfect day!


We also broke the finnish record in the drivers of 2.2 Shafty. Twelve in total!


Going for the first gate on course one.


First course went well, and I got a decent lead to the second already in there.


Rig is now working 110% the way I want. That's no good news for the opponents.


Tricky downhill on course three. I falled off from the rock two times and then I finally got the right line to deal with it.


Going to the finishing gate on course three.


The comp went really well. Really confident about the rig's performance now. It's just driving from now on. I won't change it anymore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... u39ukuGq38
Here is course five with repeat bonus. First time I was able to go for it all nine times!

I will be doing some training before the Nordics. Just to keep up the pace.

[Zarizi Tech]

One more comp before the Nordics! Supercrawl in Germany next weekend. Never drived in 2.2's at Supercrawl, but this year I got the chance!

[Zarizi Tech]

So finally back from The Supercrawl and the Nordics. Somehow, I really didn't get a proper touch in either of the comps. Let's hope that more training will help towards the Nationals in september.


3rd in Supercrawl after Timo (Nordschleifenkaiser) and Stephan (ZZR 1100 Racer), which both are extremely good drivers. Still happy somehow of the podium.


2nd in The Nordics after Sven (Dampfsti) who is overall one of the best drivers in europe. Nordics went much better, than Supercrawl, but I am not completely satisfied after amazing start of the season.

Here is the shafty final course by me from the Nordics. Managed to climb from fifth to the second position.

More videos and data coming.
