For Your Infomation: LIPO Battery

2010-06-25T13:21:00.004+08:00

Took this article from : here!

LIPO battery users,

As we speak, my friend and his family nearly ended in tragedy due to a exploding LIPO battery in his car while he was driving.

The explosion measure about 8 feet into the air and virtually burn his car to the ground. However in the nick of time he manage to save himself and his family to avoid such tragedy cause by LIPO battery.

I will update more information including photos to his situation.

At the moment, I have sent numerous emails to ROAR, FAMAR, IFMAR, FEMCA and EFRA to call on the BAN and seriously investigate the sanction and should LIPO battery be allow in any form of RC racing.

Do take extra precautions on lipos. :)

The Qualifying........

Tengku Djan burning rubber... he qualified 2nd place.

Jane Chia's ride..The Strawberry S15/180sx just like the sweetness of her appearance

Qualifying positions 6 - 10 from the right..

Qualifying positions 11-16 from right..

After this battle... it rained really hard! A wet track to follow..

1st Place: Tengku Djan (Toyota Trueno AE86) (Right)

2nd Place: Johan Norman (Nissan Laurel) (Middle)

3rd Place: Ariff Johanis (Nissan Silvia S13) (Left)

D10GP Yishun Tsuiso Night Battle @ Irwindale Circuit!!!

2009-01-21T08:51:00.003+08:00

The Singapore official D10GP @ the Yishun Tsuiso circuit Night Battle Competition will be held on the 7 Feb 2009, 6pm Till 11.30pm Presented by SGDRIFTERS and IMPERIAL RC.

Registration will be on that day at the counter near the grand stand. Lookout for Zhirong or Marc.

Rules and Regulations
1.Fee is $20,PVC tires will be handed at the registration counter on that day.
2.Please bring a set of 26mm rims to fit the pvc tires if you don't have a set.
3.Fee is $18 for those who already have their own pvc tires.
4.Prizes will include Speedway Pal,ABC hobby products and Trophy-(1st position only)
5.Judging will be base on best of 3 run
6.Judging will be similar to U.P challenge(angle,proximity,flow)
7.Overtaking during tsuiso is not advised unless the lead driver makes a mistake or crashes.

Qualifying Round
Drivers are judged in solo runs during the qualifying round and they are given 2 to 3 judged runs. The top 16 drivers are ranked 1 to 16 according to their points given by the judges. Each driver will be awarded 0 to 100 points in qualifying runs.

Tsuiso Battle
After these top 16 drivers are selected, the Tsuiso, "Best 16", heads-up eliminations start. The competitors who make it to the Tsuiso, drifts side-by-side, going against each other two cars at a time. Drivers are paired up based on their single run scores (1st vs 2nd, 3rd vs 4th, 5th vs 6th, etc). As the elimination rounds progress, one driver is eliminated from each run so from Best 16, it goes to Quarter-Finals (8 drivers), then Semi-Finals (4 drivers), then Finals (last two drivers) until a winner is declared. The winner and runner-up and the highest scoring driver from the two eliminated in the semi-finals takes third place. If the two drivers eliminated in the semi-finals have an equal score, a run-off round is run to determine 3rd place.

Judging
Judges evaluate speed, angle of attack and overall vehicle control and factors like slowing to the point of hindering the other driver, running into another car or spinning out mean an automatic end of the run. To advance to the next round drivers make a more aggressive drift angle, carrying a higher speed through a corner, and showing good handling of the car. The “Start Line” shall not be crossed for any reason when on the grid and preparing to start. Loss of points will result from such infraction. Passing is not encouraged during Tsuiso battles. If the leading car is taking the qualifying line, a pass would be considered to be an improper pass. Passing is only allowed if the lead car makes a mistake. A safe pass is one that is done in such a way that the car being passed does not lose any speed and control after the pass is complete. Drift angle is the difference between the direction of travel and the direction the vehicle is pointing.

Factors determining a driver's final score are awarded/deducted on following elements
1) Drift Angle - Good drift angle with not too much over or under steering.
2) Drift Speed - High speed and good control is is an advatage.
3) Drift Line - Keeping the line @ close clipping point.
4) Entry Speed - High entry speed with good control.
5) Dori-Dori - Extra points will be added for dori dori at straights.
6) Nudging - Points will be deducted determined by nudge impact.

Authorized Tires:
- PVC Tires are allowed.
- ABS Tires are not allowed.
- HPI Drift Tires are not allowed.
