Pangkor Trip (Dec'08) with BB Boys

Had a blast in Pangkor island with my high school mates... spent 2 full days of chilling and pigging out. Worst part was I was down with a cold so missed out the booze session with the guys. Nonetheless, it was one heck of a trip and a great gathering.

Projecto TRF416 World's Edition (Part 1)

Finally laid my hands on the TRF416 WE!





Had a very busy week while building the car. Preparing the carbon fiber parts is really a looong process but the end results is worthy. Assembly tolerance is really tight and ended up some parts binding especially on the lower arms but not a biggie with some sanding work.

Orca Lipo 4000mAh 20C (Stick Pack) Review

My VXR 3600mAh has bloated up a little and the charge is less than 60% of the pack. I should be disposing the pack now but stubbornly using it. I am storing and charging it in the LiPoSack.

After some research and comparison, I purchased the Orca 4000mAh 20C stick pack configuration for my M03. It comes with Tamiya plugs, 12 AWG wires and some Orca stickers. It is a soft pack but I was hoping it would be a hard lexan - I was wrong! The lipo is not packed to the brim with some air gap between the cells inside and the soft casing. I really doubt this is a 4000 pack. :(

If I have time, I will cycle it and give it a full charge to see its actual capacity. Testing will be done this Sunday at the track and will compare with my current Yeah 3200mAh 20C pack.

Here are some pictures of the Orca pack

Xray T2R gone...

Finally sold my Xray T2R after posting it up for months. Out goes the old and still waiting for the new! Jeez... the wait is terrible!

M03 Setup Guide

Excellent guide for setting up a M03.

Now I feel like ripping up my M03 and rebuilding it...
