The R32 is 2nd hand and I'm wondering which one is the best bang for your buck I know that 4wd rc cars aren't technically drift cars but it's nice to have options

πŸš— Car Build A look back at HPI nitro drift β€” RS4 3 Drift with a blue-and-gold S15 shell

4 Upvotes

An old-school HPI RS4 3 Drift from the collection: Nitro Star G3.0, single-speed transmission and shaft-driven 4WD beneath a Nissan Silvia S15 body. Black six-spokes with red rims give the blue-and-gold livery a little contrast. Anyone here start out with one of these nitro drift cars?

Music: Run Away / Mixkit.

πŸ™‹ Question Battery run time expectancy

1 Upvotes

How's it, got a question, does track surface change your battery run time? Using some 4600mah that have had maybe 3 charge cycles on them since new and on our carpet club track im only getting 28 min per pack out of a 13.5t reve d paired with a xd10 and a 22t pinion. Running a fairly decent amount of power through a mst mrx gt, hit when I ran the same setup with a touch more turbo on concrete I got a longer run timeout of it.

Tire compound for carpet is mst gold up front an mst white dot in the rear, when I tested on the concrete I used both mst silver and no dot compounds.

Finally got the wiring all tied together, still waiting for my dash to arrive so I can finalize all the non essential wiring/inline connectors. Slowly getting suspension parts together, going to wait until I have all the front end/ steering parts and then take the whole front end down at once.

πŸ™‹ Question Yokomo RD 1/1.5 vs HPI D10 RTR

5 Upvotes

I just bought a Yokomo RD 1/.1.5 as they call it and have been running it for like a month.

Now looking at the new HPI D10 RTR I feel like I've been scammed.

Should I sell my Yokomo and buy an HPI or upgrade the Yokomo? What do you guys think?

I'm starting a drift club in my small town, and so far we're only 2 who are fully in it, but there's a few more drift cars around... How did your club start?

(I own the 240 and the 86, which had a wing but broke off recently, my friend owns the Chevy truck)

Each RTR comes in different formats, but I will like to hear from everyone, what should a RTR should be for you?

Is there any chance HPI will do one with a JDM car body? I know I could just get a different one but I wish they'd just have a Supra or S15 on there stock

πŸ™‹ Question Brand new to RC Drift. Need advice.

1 Upvotes

What’s up guys, I am brand new to RC drifting. Been really a basher and have done a little bit of racing but drifting is calling my name. Attempted to turn a VRX Wyvern I received from VRX into a drift car. I have no idea what I am doing and am not very skilled. I’m wondering if I can make this into an actually drift platform or would I really need to get a rwd car?

I made a video on my channel if anyone wants to watch. Any and all tips or advice are happily received.
Since the video I added a spectrum receiver with a gyro. It handles a little better. To be honest I am having an absolute blast.

Excited to dive into drifting a little more. I find myself looking at the little flex skylines on Amazon, the awd mini z’s and mst rmx 2.5 rtr. Please help!!!

Been having an absolute blast learning how to drift this thing!
Finally starting to get comfortable linking the track at my local spot, The Hobby Gym, and getting a little chase practice in with some more experienced drivers.
Still a LONG way from running door-to-door, but man it’s such a good feeling when things finally start clicking! πŸ˜‚
Any tips for getting more consistent during chase runs? 🀘🏾

What's up guys? I am into the 1/24 crawlers and build my own rigs but want to build a drift rig, I was hoping to stick with a 1/24 or 1/18 if possible- I see some awesome builds on IG but I have no idea where to buy any of these parts? The few websites I found show their chassis kits all sold out.

Is 1/24 drifting a thing? I can't find much info on it so I'm coming here in hopes you guys can't lead a drift nooby in the right direction.

πŸ™‹ Question Yokomo LTS Weightshift

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hallo, ich habe mir zum sehr guten Kurs ein Yokomo MD01 LTS erstanden.

Da es nun mein erstes Weightshift Chassis ist, habe ich ein paar Fragen.

Meine erste wΓ€re, ob es mit LTS Federn normal ist, dass er im oberen Federweg hΓ€ngen bleibt und erst nach eigenem runterdrΓΌcken die eigentliche fahrhΓΆhe erreicht.

Und gibt es Setup Tipps? DÀmpferâl habe ich Axon 5 drin, Federn weiß ich ehrlich gesagt nicht.
