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
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.
Yokomo has always been the industry leader in RC Drift Cars, this just further cements that. Definitely picking one up!
That's debatable. Lol. They're in probably the top 3 but the top 3 is so close, it's almost based on personal opinion which one gets the 1, 2 and 3 spots.
props to the guy that chased it around the track to get that awesome fotage
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.
This man knows his stuff 👍
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 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.
Could you do a video on what you think is the #1 most fun rc car for bashing? Taking out specs and qualities, just the most fun to mess around with
Beautiful ride❤
One of the 3 most beautiful bodies out there! Period. Great video!Period.
Man, I wish I had a track like this around me..
This is freaking awesome 👏🏿 🤩
Nice. Car looks great.
That is SWEET
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!
Looks pretty sweet. If I had a drift track nearby, or enough room to make one, I'd definitely be looking to grab one... I think a micro crawler will be the next RC that I get (crawl over books and stuff)
Great video, nice drift car even with the gtr race body lol.
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.
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!
Hmmm... I see that with a cockpit FPV camera, on a servo controlled 180 degree swivel. Use a channel for a head tracking gyro setup. That way, I can see where the car is actually going which isn't terribly straight ahead. LOL
Nice💪👍👋👋
Lookin lean buddy!
Great video, you said your Gyro was at 65% but what was your endpoint on channel 3?
That body is the bomb!! Looking Good Brett, still off the sugar?
I think this is the kit I want to get for drifting. You're looking slim and healthy!💪
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.
What, they sent it to you with all their own components!? That's crazy, LOL, JK 😄
Can you do a review on a stampede xl5 2wd Ir a stanpede 4x4vxl
Looking at the vct over top of that nice-looking concrete hurts soooooo much
the front body mount is meant to move so it can match the contour of any body !!!!!!!!!!
Amain. When are you guys going to re stock the arrma vendetta?
It looks like it's been discontinued. -Brett
I like the idea of drift but it's kinda boring how slow they are, maybe they need a different tire compound or maybe go back to 4 wheel drive I dunno. Also bigger wider tracks maybe ?
Is there also a drift car like this (good quality, professional, good price) on the market in a smaller scale? (1:18/1:16)
why'd you weigh them without the battery though :-s you made a point of mentioning that the battery was moved back further to shift more weight back, but then didn't show the effect :(
Which Company makes the SuperGT GTR Nismo body?
Killerbody
That GTR body is freaking sweet
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.
Been doing a lot of research on rc drift cars and debating on buying a kit like this or buying a rtr from yokomo or mst, can you give me some ideas on what to get? Should i go your route? Or go the rtr route and mod it?
Yours may have come set up correctly out of the box but this is a kit and that won't be the case for everyone else buying and actually building this.🤓
For the whole video background is in focus, and subject is not :)
Not sure whats worse, going round and round, slidy slidy or strait….
I like turtles
Don't know why, but saw the mental image and cracked me up. 😂
Same bro
Same here
Oh, i love them too❤😂
Yes
Dude, you lost weight
I would much rather have a real touring car. Drifting becomes boring after racing.
Drifting would take off if more bodies were available, but you can't find jdm bodies very easily.
Check out SuperG Hundreds of options for JDM RC Drift Bodies!!!
Touring car body on a drift car is cringey!
Love to see you here!
Couldn’t agree more
Why?
Cry about it or watch a different video
While you’re making your corrections / complaints, the Nissan GT-R nismo is a GT3 car, an example of a touring car would be a BTC-T Honda civic type R or BMW 330e M sport, both compete in the British TOURING CAR championship. If you’re gonna complain at least complain correctly.
Can’t lie. Indoor drift courses has gotta be the most boring form of RC. For the price of a high end drift car you could make a good 1/10th e buggy that would be WAY more fun at a dirt track
Some say hiking is lame and that mountain biking is much better. To each their own eh?
best car in the world wont help you drive good!! can tell when someone has no idea how to drift..guys look up a real drift tutorial video with real cars and it will help you to understand how drifting is achieved then apply to rc car
Where were you when I was younger looking for something to go straight 🪽🧸🚂🕊️🗡️
