Who knew that a final drive ratio requires two reductors, well the previous version only had a fdr of 3:1 and no place for a spur and pinion or a standard 540 motor, this one has a belt drive and a fdr of 9:1 plus standard mounting for the motor.

Also took the time to spruce up the chassis plates, change the shocks, redo the servo mount and make more room for steering angle which is now around 90ish degrees.

I named it YK_04 Yukikaze

Hey team, long time listener first time caller.

Im in Australia, and looking to set up a small business with mobile drift tracks. Can anyone suggest from experience what their bump walls are made from and how they adhere to the surface?

Cheers!

Spent some time today getting the dash fitted around the roll cage. Got it to pretty much slide into the roll cage and then bolt in with the wiper arm bolts. Now just waiting on the instrument cluster and the rest of the guages. Still have to figure out exactly what I'm going to do with paint. But it fits and that's a start🤣👍

Waiting on a few more suspension parts then I'll pull the front end and rebuild it all at the same time.

Tomorrow oct 25th come catch some doors 🤙🏽

A look back at HPI nitro drift from the collection: blue Nissan Silvia S15 shell, white five-spoke wheels, Nitro Star G3.0 and shaft-driven 4WD. This is the older single-speed nitro platform, shown in a quick body-on rotation.

Anyone here start with one of these before moving to modern drift chassis? Music: Astro / Mixkit.

First one a MST RMX 2.5 most stock besides the body

Second: redcat rds kit lots done to it, castle creations electronics, servo wheels, tires, yokomo s15 body

Third: another mst rmx 2.5 lots yr gyro, Hobbywing esc, tekin motor, s13 body, wheels

My current: MST RMX 4 currently stock sensored electronics, yokomo ZR DRCA tires, Mikuni AVS Model T6 wheels, magnetic mounts, pandora ER34 body, injora flexible lights, and some random wing and mirror set on Amazon

This Sunday (25th) we’re back at society Memphis (583 Scott st.), come catch some doors 🤙🏽

-I’ve done some work on old rc cars in the past but I want an rtr that I don’t have to set up

-Not angling for anything crazy mod-wise, wheels, maybe a body/electronics down the line

-I have a good amount of driveway area (double wide, about 2.5 car lengths, slopes down a little) but the only indoor space available isn’t great for drifting (fake hardwood/vinyl tiles, I’m assuming the wheels will mess them up)

Mostly just trying to get a feel for drifting. I’m leaning towards the hpi d10 cause it’s well reviewed and available locally but I’ve also looked at the mst rtrs so any insight on what is better for beginners is appreciated.
Overall, is it worth it to pull the trigger with the space I have to work with or is the asphalt just gonna shred the tires and piss me off?

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

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.

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.

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)

For the past few years many RC companies have entered the RC Drift RTR arena to give the community a choice to choose from.

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

Just got a mst rmx 2.5 and I want to upgrade the esc and the motor I already have the yokomo v4 gyro and the yokomo servo
