DAX suspension system

Roelof — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 14:22:12 +0100

It started a long time ago (about 10 years) when the Renault F1 team had some kind of camber corecting system making a lot of grip and some technical talk about it was done on a Dutch F1 forum. Someone mentioned a British site called Daxcars with a simple but very inovative construction. In the base the right and left suspension are connected to each other and so the camber of the left is corrected by the suspension of the right and visa-versa.

2 years ago a friend made a switch ...

Greatest show of the decade!

S. Steady — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 23:41:31 +0100

It looks as if there is no coincidence that I flap a lot about Top Gear bits despite my intentions of keeping 3hobby.net purely RC on-road nitro racing focussed website. Well, Top Gear just got voted as the Greatest Show of the Noughts (decade) and many congratulations to the mad thrio petrolheads!

What is amazing is that, I happen to s...

Kissimmee Open Race in Florida

djapolaro — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:23:09 +0100

Well I have never done this on this site, but here it goes. I arrived today to the Open Race and the track was looking really good. Kevin had made some new changes to make the track more appelaing to the eye, as well as making it easier to get onto the back straight.

I ran 2 tanks in sedan to just run in a motor and then played with the 1/8 scale. I got the chassis pretty good and finally got the clutch in the ball park. I am still working on the 2speed, as it is not being consiste...

Serpent 733 building tips

julius kolff — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:57:01 +0100

Most of you that read my ramblings on the 3Hobby site will know I'm a big fan of Serpent's 733. I've only run it a few times unfortunately as my time is limited, but when I do, it brings a big smile to my face. As winter stops me from running outdoors I found some time to share a few building tips w...

Why Americans like the Porche 911?

S. Steady — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 06:35:40 +0100

Why do they like the 911 then? Well, its because they then know what number to call when they crash! Pretty good Jeremy LOL!

I loved this short video. Its an old top Gear one titled "Clarkson vs 911" from a previous series where Jeremy talks, tests and compares the 911 series - a Porche series enough to confuse even the most stubborn of Kyosho...

Jeremy Clarkson's cars

S. Steady — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:08:04 +0100

Famous for his outspoken opinions on all things car-related Jeremy Clarkson's choice of car is scrutinised more than most.

After all, a man of his position could probably drive anything he wanted. So what's he actually laid down his own money on?

Well, the list is a long and interesting one. And with the odd surprise thrown in for good mea...

43.90€ for a bodyshell? No way!

Ever since I posted a Featured Slideshow item on the front page back in mid-August which shows the new Audi A5 shell by SMI Motorsport, I've been hunting around to buy one. Shepherd's online shop finally had some for sale so I promptly ordered one and because their online payment system was not fully implemented, I had to wait for the invoice to be emailed to me.

Finally ... the successor to the McLaren F1

S. Steady — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 07:31:59 +0100

When it was first released, the McLaren F1 was the fastest supercar around and at today's prices, it is more expensive than the Bugatti Veyron. Of course, who could forget Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) crashing his soon after accepting delivery but then again, if you can make millions acting silly without speaking you can certainly afford ...
