New Engine for my Monster!
For some reasons, my stock HPI engine for my monster truck cracked at the engine housing and it cannot be started again. I went to TaiSing and got myself the Nosram (LRP) RS.30 engine as a replacement. Wow! This engine is awesome and packs a lot of punch! It's a 4.9CC engine and gives our 4.12HP at 33.500rpm!
My Hopped up Savage X 4.6!
Just realised I have never posted up pictures of my hopped up Savage. So here are a few!

Recent back to RC Nitro Car craze again!
Recently I am back to nitro car craze again. It all started 2 months back when I decided to take out my Savage X after shelving it for almost >6 months to try and start the engine again. A new flyer who recently joined our group saw my monster truck was so facinated and amaze at my fully blinged up Monster truck has probably lose sleep just by thinking about my truck. He went online and found someone selling a Savage X and decided to get it.
As this was his first RC nitro truck, naturally he came to me for advice on the tuning and setup of the truck. And over a couple of weeks of helping him, I sort of got hooked back again into RC Nitro cars again.
Since then I have bought a new engine for my Monster Truck (Nosram RS.30) and also bought a new engine also for my Hobao Hyper ST (STS D28M).

First POT LUCK at Lor Halus!
On 2 July, the guys at Lor Halus decided to have a pot luck session after our fun fly in the evening. Well, it's my first pot luck session with these guys and so I didn't know what to expect. But wow! These guys are awesome man. They turn up with tables, chairs, water dispensers,and most important of all, awesome tasting food!!! There was fish balls, BBQ chicken, sandwhich, otahs, roast duck, seafood tom yum, durian, jackfruit, twisties, chips etc...etc..
It was truly an unforgettable evening!

New Flying Site
It's been a while since I last blogged.... Well, we have moved to a new flying site. It's located at Lor Halus. The old site (Oasis 2) is closed due to development works. It's a pity because I really like that site. It was a really big field and I can also play my truggy and monster truck there. Well, no choice and life goes on. The new site is not bad but there are kite flyers at one corner of the field. So far we haven't disturb them and they have given us any trouble. :-)
What else is new.... Oh, yes, I have gotten my very first BALSA plane. It's an Extra330L balsa plane with I took over from Marcus. It's a nice looking plane and I am really not confident in landing it on the road... I tried belly landing it once but my landing gear got ripped out... :-(
Well, initially I put in 28-sized 1050KV Turnigy brushless motor with a 11x4.7 prop. But it seems to be underpowered. Now I have a 35 sized (3520) motor with a 9x6 prop. Have yet to ROG it so far... need to find a suitable time to do so.

Hobao Hyper 7 vs Hyper 7
2 Hyper 7s racing against each other in a trailer carpark. The funny part is when a huge trailer came towards the end of the video clip and gave us a honk for us to get out of the way and we were all surprised by it because we were so engrossed in our RC, we didn't even noticed a huge giant trailer coming! LOL!
Bashing around
Just a few of us bashing our buggies, truggies and monster trucks in our neighbourhood.
A cool video of my Savage X4.6 vs a Savage 25!
Check out this cool slow-mo video during a bashing session between my Savage X4.6 (Red, with LED lights) against a Savage 25!

New body shell
Bought a new body shell for my Hyper ST. It was a clear type body shell and you have spray colours on it to make it your own. Decals are provided though.
This is my very first attempt at spray painting a body shell. Got some advice my a fellow RC member on how to spray paint. I decided to play 'safe' and use only a single colour scheme instead of multiple colours as I was not sure how it would turn out.
Decided to use a bright colour for better visibility and hence YELLOW was chosen.
I bought a small can of PS yellow colour paint and a white colour. I sprayed the entire can onto the inside of the bodyshell, using the spray-dry-spray again method, as this add several coats of paint on it. Then finally use the white to add as the protection cost on it.
The result came out pretty good. Below is the complete body shell with decals.
And below is how my Hyper ST looks with the new body shell! :-)

Savage X4.6 wheelie
This is how a properly tuned HPI Savage X4.6 can do... wheelies!
This is my friend's Isham's Savage after he has properly tuned it up! Man, this thing kicks some ass!

Into Nitro Trucks & Buggies!
Recently my group started the craze on nitro trucks and buggies. I am no exception and have been 'poisioned' by the group. A few of them started buying the Thunder Tiger SSK V2 Nitro Monster Truck. It's a 1/10 scale 4WD monster truck with a Pro-18BX pull-start engine.
It ran pretty well, but the quality is really an issue. Almost each ran, something is either loose or damage. For example, after a couple of runs, I realized the differential gear grub screws became loose and it became a 2 WD truck, which is almost impossible to drive. Then I discovered there were leakage at the engine only to find out that the screws which held the engine gasket together were loose! After that, the 2 speed gears worn out quickly... :-(
A few of the guys gave up with the SSK V2, some of them even sold them off into the 2nd hand market. Then 3 of the guys started to buy the clone version of the famous Baja. It's a 1/5 scale buggy, which ran on gasoline. It's really huge and loud as well! I was tempted at first but held back due to the high cost. Up till today, I have never regretted not getting the Baja. The size and weight of it is really an issue with me. And the most turn-off factor for me is that it is only a 2WD! Sure, the baja is really fast on a drag-race, but they have a hard time negotiating corners and turns as it would skids out of control on sandy tarmac ground. And one grass lands, the baja would also get stuck on uneven terrains again due to the lack of 4WD power.
Then another guy told me that he was intending to buy the HPI Savage X4.6 as there was an offer discount going on. I decided and went down that path instead.
Man! I have never regretted getting the Savage X4.6. This monster truck is a 1/8 scale nitro powered 4WD monster truck. It is using a 4.6 big block engine producing 3HP of pure power. It uses a rotor start (provided as a package) so no more yanking and pulling with the pull start! Once properly tuned, this monster can do wheelies and even a stationary back flip as only a powerful HPI Savage can! The quality is miles better than the SSK, using robust materials.
You can see the short video of my Savage runs below:
Then one day, I came across a post in the local hobby forum that one of the forumer wanted to trade-in his Hopao Hyper ST buggy for a helicopter. I contacted him and offered to trade in my Thunder Tiger Mini-Titan 450-sized RC Helicopter for his buggy. Basically I gave him the helicopter kit, with cyclic servos, a Align GP-750 gyro, Futaba 9257 tail servo, Scorpion 2221-8 brushless 3600KV motor, 2 extra pairs of fibreglass blades, 1 extra canopy, 2 2200mah 25C lipo packs and all the whole bunch of spares I had. I would say it's a damn good deal for him too!
The picture below is the actual buggy I got as a trade-in. Whilst the condition is not really that good, body shell where torn, tx had missing antenna. What's most important were that the engine condition were good. It had a OS V-SPEC engine on it which is supposed to be a tournament type engine. Although I did not have the chance to test run it, I took the risk and traded in anyway.
On that weekend, I borrowed Loo's box starter and started it. It ran pretty well, but some tuning had to be performed as the buggy obviously hadn't been running for a while already.
I also planned to change a couple of stuff on this buggy to improve it's condition:
1) New Air filter
2) New receiver hump pack
3) New Glow Plug
4) New body shell
Now, with 3 road vehicles, I am also having 3 different transmitters, one for each of them. It's too much to carry around. Moreover, these were only very basic trannys, and lacking features which can help improve the drive-ability of the vehicles.
So my next quest, was to go and seach for a suitable tx which can accommodate multiple models and uses 2.4ghz transmitting frequency. As I was looking around for tx, my friend, Isham recommended me to get the Spectrum DX3 which is a 2.4 ghz tx, with 10 model memory and also offers telementry options. The price of the Tx was around S$370 but each of the rx would cost >$130 for telementry features and abt $85 for non telementry ones.
Now prior to Isham's recommendations, I had seen another friend's tx and it was the Futaba 3PK. He was using it for his Hyper 7 buggy. I had the opportunity to carry it in my palm before and the weight felt just right. The quality also looked much better as compared to the plastic-looking Spectrum DX3. Although the 3PK didn't have telementry features. it did however, offer a feature which is not available on the DX3 - removable module. You see, what I wanted was to have a TX with a removable module so that I can put in an Assan 2.4ghz module instead. The Assan receiver are much cheaper (only around $33 for a 6 channel one!). So the running cost would be lower in long run, if my models increase in future. So I guess, my choice was clear. It's gonna be a Futaba Megatech 3PK! :-)

My second scale fuselage (MD500E Huges)
I saw someone selling off a 250-sized MD500E fuselage on Daddyhobby.com for an attractive price and decided to buy it.
The photo below is the completed assembly.
I am using a Trex250 sized rc helicopter to fit into this fuselage. It's a bit of a challenge in the following areas:
1) Rudder servo size - First of all, I have to use a smaller servo for rudder. Prior to that, I was using a Align 502 digital servo for rudder but the size of this servo is too big and it would obstruct the boom insertion into the fuselage. In the end, I used an Align 402 servo which is smaller.
2) Rudder servo position - The next challenge is that I need to move the tail servo all the way back until it is literally touching the end of the boom clamp. This was required in order for the boom to complete extend itself out of the fuselage. Also, I had to find a new position for the servo to a somewhat awkward position (and yet functional)that the rudder controls are not affected.
3) Position of Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and Receiver - As the helicopter is mounted onto the fuselage skeleton interior, the only available space to mount the ESC and the receiver will be at the side of the heli frame. (Remember, this is a 250 size frame, so the esc and receiver is most unlikely to fit inside the frame).
4) Securing tail boom inside fuselage - I also found out that there is a need to 'secure' the boom once it is inserted through the fuselage. By 'secured', I meant a way to prevent the boom from moving about (due to vibration) inside the fuselage as this would affect rudder and gyro readout a great deal. To overcome this, I simply cut a piece of thick sponge to slightly larger than the fuselage boom dimension. Then I cut a hold for the boom to be inserted through the sponge and pushed the sponge into the fuselage. (Like a ring thru a finger). This way, the sponge will absorb the vibration while keeping the heli boom in place! :-)
5) Tail Heavy - Like the other fuselage I assembled (with the 450 sized heli), the final assembly tends to be tail heavy. Even this assembly was no different. I need to put additional weight, up to 45grams of weight pieces in the front in order to balance the heli perfectly.
Well, I must say that I am damn proud of this fuselage. The final looks of it was really satisfying! It flies ok but due to the additional weight, the overall flight time had to be reduced down to abt 3.5 - 4 mins (previously abt 5.5 mins). The good side of it is that I can now use a larger size 1000mah lipo instead of the previous 800mah batt. This is due to the additional space available in the front of the fuselage. (The MD500 has a big 'head'! :))
Hope you like this and find it informative!

My Phoenixtech Torque Tube TT360 Review and Flight Report
FINALLY! I completed it today! Below are some pictures of the completed TT360.
Completed Assembly
Mystery 40A ESC
Scorpion 2221-10 motor w/ 13T
.My fav Gyro (Align GP750).. I know, I know, Spartan is the best... yeah...yeah..
Cyclic Servos (first try at Savox servos)
My faithful little Assan RX
Tail Gear Assembly
Main CF Blades (Beautiful!)
Wanna see the difference in size between the TT360 and a 450 size heli?
Here is a comparison shot between the TT360 vs my 450 SE. :D
And here it is compared to Gaui and Trex250!
The very first hover test video... I am only using a 3S 40C batts for the hover testing. I wanted to check if the blades were tracking properly. And guess what? They were! No adjustments necessary!! :L
I took it out for sport-flying in the evening. Here I am using a 4S dualsky 2200mah batt. I was alone and I mounted a small cheapo, crappy, worthless mini-cam on top of my cap. Unfortunately, the video does not come out clearly..:bh
Some thoughts to share:
1) As mentioned in my previous few post back, I need to increase the swash mix up to 70-75% to achieve +- 12 degress of pitch and +-7 degrees of cyclic. But even at this value, there were no mechanical binding.
2) I didn't have to do any blade tracking adjustment. I measured them at 0 degrees mid-stick and the blades tracked nicely! (I guess I was lucky?)
3) The rudder servo mounting is different from Rave heli. It is housed in a fixed location but in a horizontal position, unlike the Rave. But because the rudder servo is a fixed position, adjusting the rudder linkage rod to get center position at the rudder requires some effort. You cannot simply 'shift' the rudder servo. Instead you need to loose/tighten the ball links @ the linkage rod ends to get the rudder to center mechanically. Not a big issue, nevertheless.
4) I used a Futaba9257 servo for rudder and I used the default round horn. However, i found out that i cannot get the rudder to move to the extreme end-points. Therefore, my piro rate is slow. I think i will use a longer horn instead.
5) Running 4S with the 360mm blades seems to be the most ideal setup. After 5 mins of sport flying, the esc, motor and batt is barely warm.
6) Overall cyclic response is too slow for me. I am already at 100& flat throttle curve at idel1. Perhaps increasing cyclic pitch might help?
7) Overall stability is definitely better than 450 size heli, but I wouldn't say it flies like a 500 sized.
8) The TT360 has a narrow body width. I cannot even fit my receiver or ESC into the body and they both needed to be mounted on the outside of the frame. Those with spectrum rx may have better luck.
9) Buying blades may be a problem. At the moment, I think only Pang carries the 360mm blades. None of the other LHS or even HC carries these sizes.
10) I need more 4S batts! I only got one at the moment.

Got a new addition - Phoenixtech TT360!
I had wanted to get a Phoenixtech 450 PRO which is a 450-sized helicopter but using torque-tube (TT) instead of belt. Then I saw the launch of the Phoenixtech 360TT which is a stretched version of the 450-sized using a 360mm blades with torque tube! (The 450 sized is using only 325mm blades). So i got this baby instead!
I haven't assembled it yet as I just received it a day ago. It's full metal head, with a carbon fibre body and a fibre-glass canopy. There are 2 possible configurations to fly this:
1) Fly it with a 3-cell (3S) lipo batt. But I will need a high KV brushless motor, about 4400KV and with 325mm blades instead of 360mm ones.
2) Fly it with a 4-cell (4S) lipo batt. I will need a 3000KV motor capable of running at 4S voltage and with 360mm blades.
I guess i will go with option 2 since i already am flying my other 450 sized helicopters with 3S. That means, I have to get myself a couple of 4S lipo batts cause I don't have any at the moment.
Some more pics of the TT360 below:
