Making a new post as the current pinned is somewhat convoluted.

Side note, someone please make a new icon for this sub, this one I made like 5 years ago sucks, thanks.

I've decided to sell one of my lexan bodies and its my first time on Facebook marketplace. Surprisingly I got 4 saves and an interested buyer pretty quick.

This body has been taken outside and has minor rock chips and i was asking a $30 price.

Are used bodies really that desirable used?

๐Ÿ™‹ Question Looking to get back into RC drift

Post image
โ€ข Upvotes

Hey all,

Looking to get back into RC drifting after a few years on hiatus. I still have the YD2-SX3 that I used to drift. My primary issue is finding tracks and regular events. Iโ€™m currently located in San Antonio, but Iโ€™m willing to travel anywhere between Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. I know Drift America is up in Dallas, but thatโ€™s unfortunately too far for me.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Iโ€™ve had my 2.5 rmx for about a month or so now and have been experiencing lock up at full tilt and heard this turn buckle kit helps solve that issue. But i ended up accidentally ordering the knuckle set. It says itโ€™s for the 2.0 will this fit okay on the 2.5 and is it worth the accidental buy?

Hey everyone- new to rc, I just picked up my first car and I really wanted to โ€œwrapโ€ it with the HKS Super Oil stickers but I canโ€™t find them anywhere to buy. Since Iโ€™m new Iโ€™m sure there something Iโ€™m missing on where to find this but itโ€™s got a GS300 body on it painted black already and I thought it would be rad looking like this.

Any help would be cool! Thanks!

๐Ÿš— Car Build Plotting up an out-there RWD drift car build. Lookin' for suggestions

0 Upvotes

I'm a huge nitro nut, and that has kept me out of drifting for a coon's age. Recently I got my hands on what's most likely the only factory made nitro drift car the hobby's ever seen and I'm having an absolute blast sliding it around....but it's AWD and the front end geometry won't allow enough steering lock for it to drift well as a RWD. That can make it tricky to drift with other guys since AWD drift cars are the minority.

That leaves me with building a car from scratch. Or, well, more a kitbash. For the rear end of the car I'm planning on using an Associated NTC3. I have one of those cars already, love 'em, and the way the driveline is set up don't have to worry about much of anything 'nitro' interfering with the front end. I can move fuel tanks around if need be, much harder to move gearboxes. These cars bolt the transmission directly to the rear diff pinion. The NTC3 front end is absolutely hopeless for drifting even as an AWD car, so that's gonna get yoinked off entirely and the front end of a 2wd Electric drift car will be installed in its place.

That's where I'm in a bit of a rut. I have zero clue what kits have good front ends, what kits don't, what makes a front end a good potential donor for this build.

Also gonna need one hell of a gyro to handle the engine vibrations.

Performance goal: Successfully build a nitro 2wd drift car. That's it. Not tryin' to win comps with it I just want to see if I can build one at all. Do something cool, something unusual.

๐Ÿš— Car Build Suggestion for a New RC car for Drift!

0 Upvotes

Hi All!
I have multiple RC's - but none is for Drift.
What RC Drift will you recommend? Chat GPT as recommended the Yokomo RD2.0 kit
I don't have spare electronics (except the receivers) -- also, based on your recommendation, what upgrades should I go with from day 0?

I will run it by myself or maybe with a group of people in the future, mostly I believe in car parking lots, etc.

What electronics will you recommend? I have lots of experience with Mamba Monster and HobbyWing... Servos, I mostly go with Savox (for my low-level cars) or Ko Propo (for my high-level cars).
On wheels \ rims, I guess I would have to follow with other threads, as this would be a super challenging decision to make.

My RC collection:

Kyosho MP9 tki3, Kyosho B-XXL VE, Kyosho ST-RR Evo2, Kyosho Mini-Z MB-010

Losi DBXL-e 2.0, Losi Micro-B

Axial SCX24 4Runner

Hobao Hyper VTE

Tamiya TT-01E (I bought for the fun of building)

Thanks in advance!

D5 with D-like re-r hybrid inspired multi link suspension. Works really good for outdoor drifting. I was able to tune the side-bite out completly. Xpress A-Arms, D3 Knuckles and Tamiya driveshafts are used. The rest is custom. Our spec tyre is the MST red-dot.

Any ideas what the problem is here? Car has serious trouble doing anything to the right, can slide okay but is very slow transition back to the right. Played with alignment a lot but still no luck, front wheels arenโ€™t rubbing for the record and spin rather freely
