not many active drifter currently. I'm new here, need guide from sifu2 here.

anyone willing?

What is everyone preference? Belt drive or shaft drive?

BTW, my HSP 94107 XSTR 1/10th Electric Powered Off-Road Buggy have BDESC-S10E-RTR (WP-S10E-RTR) 45A. Should I add fan for better cooling or it should be fine without?

Drift? Touring? Where you play?

I am new too... Playing touring now, might tune to drifting for a trial...
Am driving Sakura XI Sport, belt driven. Chose belt driven cos worry that if shaft broke during high speed might cause damage to other car part.

play at home oni. Me using sakura zero s. No additional mod except change tyre to drift type. Able to drift2 abit, angle and throttle need more improvement.

come sumo rajikon in seri kembangan near giant or pasar borong for drift trek

since nobody post anything, I'm gonna start post something to attract new comers..



now rc drift has enter new style ---> RWD which is similar setup to real car that is used for drifting.. in real life only Rear Wheel Drive car are able to drift by oversteering.. so rc drift communities try to achieve that.. history of rc drifting style evolve from 4wd (50-50) to CS (overdrive or under drive rear or front wheel ratio) and latest Rear Wheel Drive aka RWD..

useful website and Facebook pages are:

Drift Mission

RWD RC Drift - 2wd

Most drift track are indoor so no worries about standing in the middle of the sun

Chassis in the picture is a conversion kit from Wrap Up Next - FRD version 3.0 to convert existing Yokomo Drift Package to a RWD machine.. there is a lot of RWD machine out there and even a home made and modification on existing chassis.. so enjoy

Sup guys, newbie here seeking advice on getting my first RC drift car.
Totally new to this and I dont even know the difference between those 1:10 sub RM100 cars normally found in malls, HSP flying fish and the likese, brush, brushless motor and nitro dirft cars.
hope someone here can explain and perhaps recommend something for a starter.
many thanks in advance

HI,

Planning to start a drift rc hobby.

Thinking of buying my first car either XE10 or HPI sprint2?

Any opinion which car should i choose?

Or any other car worth to try?

Thanx

If you want to do touring and drifting, you can try the Sakura Zero S. I personally love mine to bit. It's been very tough (been crashing it a lot!), handles power very well, also handles the track pretty well.

- Sakura Zero S
- Hobbywing 5.5T + 60A ESC
- Sanwa MT4 (Or FlySky GT3B if you want to save some $$$ )
- Savox SC-1257TG
- Turnigy 6000mAH 65C LiPo

In regards to choosing between shaft and belt driven, it would be more advisable to get a belt driven car as opposed to a shaft driven. A lot of pure bred racing chassis ( TRF 415,416,417 , Xray T2, T3, T4, Schumacher Mi4, Kyosho TF5, Team Associated TC5, TC6) are all belt driven. It doesn't mean you can't get a shaft driven car to perform, but there are limitations to how much power you can put to the shaft before it bends. If you insist on a shaft driven platform, you can consider the Team Associated TC4, which itself is relatively proven as a club racer over at the States.
