I've tried a ton of electronics for drift and have found a killer combo of affordable parts, this combo is Quicrun 10bl60 esc, Rocket Supersonic 10.5t motor, power HD d12 servo. All 3 of those parts are less than $150 total and sacrifice almost nothing. 60A is plenty of power for drift and you still get basic turbo timing boost options. The XR10 stock spec is better and probably what everyone should be running if they want more options for tuning but the 10bl60 for less than $40 is fantastic.

I run the hobbywing 10bl120 in everything it's a boss little esc. race buggy, basher, it's awesome.

Buy a reve d RDX you won't regret it. So surprised at its performance for the price and out the box settings. Ran a d5mr, yd2 z, rmx 2.5, shibata grk this past year all pretty hopped up. But the rdx has immediately become my favourite chassis out performing much "higher" end chassis at my local club. Every seasoned drifter at my club who has given it a go has been shocked by its performance. King of the plastic fantastic chassis.

Awesome would help a lot of beginners. You might want to do a review on the Radiolink RC8X 8 Channels 2.4G RC Transmitter and R8FG Gyro Receiver, Full Color 4.3" IPS Touch Screen, Voltage Telemetry Surface Remote Controller, 200 Models. I think this controller would be a game changer if new drifters want to stay on a budget friendly environment. I love it, almost equivalent to a Futaba 7PX or 10PX but at a way cheaper level.

Small correction: MST RMX 2.5 has been available as a kit for a while now. There is also a more fancy RMX 2.5 RS kit, with more carbon parts and MB rear suspension (active toe). What MST is releasing (released, but not all stores have received it yet), are the RMX 2.5 _RTR_ models.

The 3PV is a really good radio option. Fairly cheap compared to the other futabaradios🙂

[mikeprater]

My d5mr wheel actually fit tires still suck and also the the d5mr v2 from my research now has the IFS SUSPENSION AGAIN.. also i think the plastic fantastic shocks need to be replaced.

You revied the Hackslider Gyro and you told it works really good. Isn't it an option for the cheap build then?
Do you know there is a difference between hackslider performance tuned gyro and the hackslider mini v3?

[kortia]

Nothing wrong with cheap Gyro, s been using The dumbo rc Reciever with built in Gyro, been Faultless. But if i get into it more seriously i might give a more expensive one a try. But if it aint broken, why change it?

Did you just say "Ken you see this?" while talking about your Ken block replica truck?

Coming from a world of RC crawling, I upgrade transmitters mainly for the end point adjustments, lighting and accessories like winches or 4-wheel steering. What sort of features are you looking for as it relates to drifting? Throttle expo, steering rates, aux for gyro control, and/or something else? I have extra Flysky GT5 receivers if I need to build another rig on budget, but maybe that transmitter isn't well suited to drift. As a side note, I don't run the GT5 with my crawlers any more because I prefer a momentary toggle switch for winching (I broke a winch hook at a comp pushing the 3-position past the middle point 🙃😂). Been watching a couple of your videos on drift cars (RTR vs kit, RWD vs 4WD for drift, etc)

Would love to know where the body came from or who did it. I'd like to do something similar but totally different.

[drfrank]

anyone know what truck body that is ? brand / model ? thanks

[house]

Have you heard or have any opinion on the RocketRc thunder motor. I can’t find much info on it and I’m curious how it performs.

[MrKillerHobbes]

couldnt find the link for the titanium screws, did i miss something?>

[aiorimotov.]

is the sakura d5s chassis good for competition?

[YesIgen]

Can u test that 14kg Injora servo in the future please? :D

[kylewhaley]

What body is this. I cant find it anywhere

[beartodrift]

A lot of interest is growing here in the Midwest for a Tamiya TT02 kit converted to RWD then added a Japanese MRC angle kit. Thoughts?

[planegolf]

Where did you get the titanium screws?
