For those who are members of Hyperdrift forums, you may have come across these photos, but for those who are not; I would like to introduce to you KevinTRF and his 1:10 scaled motors.
KevinTRF has built these replicas mostly from "RECYCLED" material. He has replicated off-road and on-road motors.
I asked KevinTRf if he would agree to me posting photos of his scaled motors on my blog and he agreed. I did ask him a few questions through email. Here are the questions and responses.
1. Where you from?
I'm from a small asia country called Brunei Darussalam
2. How long have you been drifting?
3 & a half years
3. How did you get involved in drifting?
I started drifting in real car with a friend, but than too bad in my country, drifting is just like a crime since they don't provide any race track at all, so I ended up drifting a smaller scale, hahah..now rc drifting a pure rwd chassis
4. Is it a big scene where you are from?
Not really, just a simple type
5. How did you get into building 1:1o scale replica motors?
I love hobbies since I was a kid, and I love replica anything to a smaller scale.
6. Are materials hard to find? What do you use?
Yes, material is limited in my country, normaly I find anything in my rc junks or around places that I can use for the scale build, mostly are recycle material.
7. How long does a project take from start to finish?
Longest time will be in a week, fastest I can build in 4 days if time is limited.
8. Do you make them for fun or profit? What do you charge? How can someone order?
I build some for my own too, I started build a 4age and drift without the front hood for fun just to impress friends tho..hahaha...than never thought of people actually pay me to build one. Normaly I charge at Brunei dollar $50 only included all the engine bay's detail. I only did once for a Malaysian rc drifter, well, not that far from Brunei tho, but further country I've never send it before.
9. Have any big plans in the future?
I just hope to see some of my works in many places..hahah
10. Anything you wanna add?
I just love using recycle materials to build scale engine/engine bay, It is great to see that material which are about to go into garbage can be something else, just need imagination. hahaha
11. Anyone you wanna give a shout to?
To all rc drifters in the world, hopefully pure rwd rc drifting will grow bigger....
