of course, cause of the saddle pack, I was thinking of the 3Racing one.

Hi guys, here is some pics of the modification to my keen hawk body.

P.S. It may look messy but that is only the protective film that has lifted. A sharp hobby knife should be ok to cut this piece out but I managed to do it with some body scissors and sandpaper.

Spotted this hope you like;)

Team AZARASHI - Tamiya DF-03 Body Update

Lower Roof, high rear wing design smooth the air flow

“Wing Nose” - create powerful down force

Additional Air flow go in from the body for cool down motor

Air outflow and redirect to the rear wing for effective cooling.

For a Dark Impact, the servo would be located at the front of the cockpit, no?

Not liking the new shell, it's not what I would have done.

where can I buy that body?

http://www.rc-direct.co.uk is apparently the UK dist for them (according to radio control car racer mag).

It not listed yet though.

I've just run my rebuilt DI earlier this evening and it is still the coolest car I've ever seen.

Fixing the layshaft has made it a lot faster, smoother and quieter.

The 3Racing shock towers totally change the cars handling (as does the 50wt oil).

Email them your order with (Azarashi part numbers) and your postal address, they will email you a paypal invoice. Simply pay with paypal and its on your door step within 7 days.

If I remember correctly the postage was about 2,000 to 2,500 yen (bout $15 to $20 US) for my ZX-5 body, wings, undertray and stickers. That was to Australia.

Very easy to order through.

Hope this is useful.

Ok then, the KWC conversion kit arrived today for the DI and I have just finished fitting it along with the 3 racing shock towers and suspension brace, Man does this car look good, however I think that it is time cut down on the amount of cars in the garage, so it will have to go, along with the DF03 upgraded shocks set. Watch the forsale Thread.

Hi Guys,

In recent contact with Team Azarashi I was informed that they have designed a modification for the KMRC chassis kit (mainly servo size) to allow there or even maybe the Keen Hawks body to fit without body modification.

Here is the links.

(webpage translation maybe needed)

I asked about an undertray I saw in the link and they said it will not be for sale but gave instructions on making one, dissapointing really as I would be the first to buy one if they had a ready made one available.

Anyway hope this info helps.

P.S. Great review on the 501X Jimmy, well done.

Such a good job, Omen!

where do you find this page?

Thanks Kenny, I tend to do alot of research!!! if only I got paid to do it haha.

Anyway hope this info was useful to you :)

HA~ Thanks!

It is useful and I tend to do more researches, that's why I want to know your methods to do it~;)

It seems Researching is your job~

By the way chaps, I just found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...7745&rd=1&rd=1 front 1-way unit (not centre) for the DF-03... I'm severely tempted to build a second DF using the KMR chassis kit and the Xeneiga body from Azarashi... Thing is I suppose it'd be a bit of a waste, I've already got one fully hopped up DF-03 and a TRF501X, and I can only race one car at a time... :rolleyes: I might get the KMR chassis and fit it to my car, see what difference it makes handling wise. What do you all think I should do? So many cars, so little time... :p

If possible, Do the great job for giving it a report~!!
No one has written the report about DF-03 hop-up chassis.;)

Hey Steve,

I can tell you one benifit straight up, least you will be able to use all saddle pack batteries so then they will be interchangable in both cars. Another thing is to just look at your 501X, does it use a plastic bath tub chassis? :)

If you have spent all that time/money upgrading your DF-03 and you have money to spare then I would recommend you complement it with the KMC chassis kit, as it really does change the whole perspective of the car.

I know KMRC have a Carbon main shaft set (part #DI-005-OW) this part includes a one way and is in production and should be available soon. To view this part go to www.KM-RC.com and download their catologue.

Anyway good luck with your racing.

My DF already has the 3 racing conversion but to be honest it's a bit of a pain. I made up an undertray using lexan sheet, and bolted it under the chassis but to remove the battery requires major surgery! I'm currently running a Trakpower lithium in the DF, but I've heard rumours of a new saddle pack lithium battery coming out soon which I'll definitely use for the TRF, so I may as well use that in the DF as well. Standardisation is good. :D I have got a 5 stars centre CV driveshaft, the only one I've ever seen, got it off jr-rc on ebay and since I bought it I've never seen another one. I'm running a centre 1-way and I did try making a front 1-way out of one from a TA-04, and grinding the centre of a front diff gear down, but I couldn't get it accurate enough and it kept stripping drive bevel gears. It did handle extremely well with both a centre and front 1-way though. If it wasn't for the fac that I've just spent £400 getting some new brakes and HT leads for my car, I'd definitely get one right now. I'll probably get one next month when I've been paid... along with a KMR chassis and the Azarashi body... :wtf:

Yeah I could see how the undertray would be a hassle with the 3racing chassis.

Centre and front one way? very interesting.

Try

Anyway hope this helps, Good luck with your upgrades :)

if you want someone to buy your 3racing conversion chassis, let me know, not after a whole car though.

Hi,
you haven't bought it yet?:confused:
