Default Yeah Racing DF-03 hopups - how blue !?

Ok, it will be a while until I review the Keen Hawk since its not out yet, but here are a few things I'll be throwing on it (or the Impact). These are amazing value hopups for the DF03 chassis from Yeah Racing in Hong Kong. I got some wheels for my Mini from YR a while back and thought -oooh thats good value for a pair of wheels, when they came they were in sets of 4 ! crazy value.

Anyway I'll be giving these a test after the Keen Hawk review
I can see stuff like the wishbones being a bit heavy for the race track, but for bashing around or building the ultimate "blingpact" (tm) they sure are BLUE!



Heres what I have from Yeah Racing

DF03-005BU – ALLOY BEARING C-HUB

Might be good for overtaking... when you come up behind someone the metal causes them so much interference they just glitch and move out of the way.. like a sort of force field.... It might be interesting to weigh all the parts you have there and then compare it the the kit plastic parts.. you just need some good scales (not bathroom ones)... I use the ones in our goods inward dept at work.. but you could try taking them Tescos and dumping them on the scales in the veg section...

Steve, shame about that. does the stock one allow for a slipper?
I don't know that all these parts are really meant for the race track - the suspension arms are quite heavy and the rear shock tower really would not look out of place on an 8th scale. but for bashing (which is THE biggest market for the df03) I would guess these are good, and of course the bling factor.

Other parts, like the drive cups, CVD's, centre shaft, steering, hubs etc etc, should be all good stuff - and they are seriously good value, almost disturbingly so! .
