Rd-02s and RDX’s have cemented themselves as the gold standards from what i have seen locally and at other tracks. great place to start (kit wise) and the car can grow with you as a driver. Its all about seat time and having a car that is mostly dialed out of the box saves a lot of headache and less fuss when getting into the hobby.

Dude you have the best voice made to do this, I !ean it's something about your voice that makes your videos seem super professional and made to listen to, they would pay you just for the sound of your video voice, it's not hard to listen to, like some voices we've had to listen to that distracted us from just what we supposed to be paying attention to, your voice makes us expect to hear something important or useful or that we need to hear, I don't know if anyone has took the time to tell you this, so here I am...thanks

The RD2.0 is definitely the best bang for your buck in the rwd RC drifting market, I have videos if you want to get into a better alignment.

Yokomo has always been the industry leader in RC Drift Cars, this just further cements that. Definitely picking one up!

props to the guy that chased it around the track to get that awesome fotage

A bunch of us are coming out from the bay area/Sacramento on the 1st of June to check out the new drift track! Cannot wait to check the new building too

I've been drifting since the good old 50/50 days ...just got rid of my overdose galm and bought this...and I love it ....hands down has to be one best out the box ...but yokomo really need to do something with their ball end cups as there is so much play out of the box

[heutmorgen]

yess. another amain video. lets gooo.
Guys, i highly recommend to squeeze the trigger more when accelerating rather than pushing it. It takes some time to get used to, but your drifts get smoother and dont get out of control as easily. This also helps when you have really loose traction conditions or the 'not so fitting'-tires.

A little off topic: Brett, are you planning on reviewing the new FZ02-R from Kyosho? I would love to see that.
In any case, I love the videos and always be a little bit happier when a new one gets uploaded. Keep it up.
Greetings.
-Daniel.

I'll tell ya what, after adding up everything you put into the car that started out at $209, it ended up at $963.99 before any Tax, so all I can say is I sure hope it's better than an RTR since it's 2 ta 3 times the price. Of course that's just for the car and parts, not the radio you listed, if you add that the new total is $1, 663.00 pre-tax LOL ...

[hhaste]

Man, I wish I had a track like this around me..

The front Yokomo body mounts actually have a problem with the screw being too long, or the shock tower being too thin. Use 8mm instead of 10mm bolts, or a couple 3mm washers to shim things out. They will tighten down nice and solid with those modifications.

[Gavs_rc_hobbies]

I just built one of these and its a lot of fun to drive. Just a note too, you can run a standard stick pack as the battery tray is adjustable.

[Mark-mupj]

Great video, nice drift car even with the gtr race body lol.

[RACEABLE]

One of the 3 most beautiful bodies out there! Period. Great video!Period.

[jerrywatson]

Great video. Please do more. That was a "Killer Body". Maybe you can feature a few more from time to time. Thanks for all your hard work.

So if anyone's been tracking USD to YEN you'll know currently you can get 155Y for every $1. Yokomo sells this for the equivalent of $127 vs US retail $209. Yes yes, I get shipping, storage, tax, yada yada but if you're going to japan anyway, c'mon!

I got a cheap eBay Saura D5 MR V2 drift kit for 150 and I put a Futaba GYD550 in it and a Futaba HPS-CD700 servo with Hobbywing Xerung Drift combo and It has been doing better than all the expensive drift cars at the track. The electronics is what makes a big difference. I painted a nice body and looking at it you would think it is a 4k drift car. When you remove the body you can tell it is an eBay special, lol.

[scaleworksRC]

I think this is the kit I want to get for drifting. You're looking slim and healthy!💪

[figuresix]

You should give the Redcat RDR a new review with the upgrades they put out last month. Throw in some new electronics. That car is amazing once upgraded.

[oriolinton]

this was the one that i needed to see.. i want in on the hobby but i dont want to pay 500 to get going this wont be somehing that destroys me .... .thanks for the review!
