I’ve got a couple quick questions about carpet racing if someone can help me out. I’ve never raced on a carpet track, but a new track opened up nearby and I’d like to give it a shot. One of their requirements is that the chassis have a chassis skin that covers the screws on the bottom of the chassis...

Very cool car!

Put the final touches on this car with a custom matching color motor decal from Ultrahive.

Congratulations Martin!

That’s exactly how I do it.

I mount the chassis nose to a wood structure and apply smooth even pressure.

Here is my custom AYK Radiant. This is the link to the build thread if you’re interested in checking it out, thanks!

There are two different lengths of axles for these CVD’s. There are the short two “stripe” and the longer three “stripe”. I used the longer axles as pictured which allowed me to shim the inside or outside of the hub as needed. I actually used new Kyosho bearings front and rear. They are the exact sa...

The CVD’s I used are for the rb5/lazer and I used matching Kyosho 12mm hexes 8E65ABFB-6016-459F-B7E6-FDD91FB91861.png 2727C375-6036-456A-B71C-DBA63B0A7810.png Very cool project! I love the color! This is powder coated? I am also working on one and was wondering about which CVD and wheel setup to use...

Time for black DE racing wheels, proline carpet spikes, Kyosho CVD’s and hexes.

Some cool custom plates and towers made by Jeff.

Here is the custom AYK Radiant I built. I built it a bit custom, hopefully the purests won’t be too mad that I didn’t build it stock. 7A91B60B-8042-45C8-A969-E8178EBB1DC1.jpeg 9875845D-57DA-4974-869E-FDE3485B4BF2.jpeg ED75AE76-9FD5-4571-BAD6-4FCE85BC4896.jpeg E0C1AA39-544F-4945-8CAD-DCEA41052342.jpe...

That looks so awesome! I love it. If I had one criticism, it would be the aluminum noseplate. I wish that I could find someone to reproduce the Hot Trick Ultima noseplate that has the proper “Z” bend in it so that it could go over top of the chassis plate (similar to the RC10). Other then that, it’s...

Should be pretty cool. I’m interested to see how it looks!
