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.

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

5 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.

🙋 Question Yokomo RD 1/1.5 vs HPI D10 RTR

4 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?

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

🙋 Question Battery run time expectancy

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.
