This is my first RC build and I thought I would share it.

I know the body could be trimmed better, but this was my first attempt and trust me......I won't make the same mistakes on the new body when I get it in the next week or so.

The RC is from http://www.yokomousa.com

Enjoy.

 

hotness you been driftin that boy

 

http://www.autolinkmotorworks.com be selling those too.

 

good stuff
i smell dorifto

 

I played around for about 30min or so, but rain has prevented me from continuing my fun.

The only down fall to this RC car, is the fact you are at a constant high rev and you shoot through the battery packs fast as hell.

I need to come up with a way to conserve some power or atleast utilze something that will allow me to double my time on a battery pack.

But this puppy will get stupid sideways with a simple blip of the throttle.

I love it!

No tegs.

Just an AE86, 180SX, S15, and a FC (coming soon).

It is on a 1/10 scale, so I'm sure if you find a company selling a teg in 1/10 scale it would fit just fine.

That's pretty cool.

When I was trying to decide where to buy my kit I came across them and I actually thought they were some hole in the wall by the ways they have their site setup (all cheap like), but it's good to hear that they are actually a large shop.

I will certainly be doing a lot of business through them for most of my RC needs.

 

HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL!! you have a HUGE HOUSE!!!

I had to purchase the motor, remote control (which came with the servo the control turning), a speed control, batteries and a battery charger.

All in all I spent about $450 in total getting this thing running.

I know it's a lot of money, but I love this little guy!

 

sweeet...are u gonna drift it??...i want one of those drifting RC's

 

that looke sweet man........love the colour

 

sweet toy, is it gas powered?

 

yep those are the new yokomos drift cars. they are all electric!
they are not cheap
mine costed 700+

heres some wheels i made for it though. thought you ht peeps would like them.


how do you like your car?

to get more run time... gotta mess with the spur gear/pinion gear combo and get some nice batteries.

 

explain to me how the drift tires and drift rings work.

 

 

I love my car, I just hate the fact the battery pack only lasts about 5-8 min of constant driving and I'm only using a 19T motor.

The tires are quite nice actually.

They used a hard rubber compoung and added 2 slits (one on each side of the tire) for you to place thin, plastic rings in.

The plastic rings allot your tires to spin which enables you to drift a hell of alot easier then with straight rubber.

 

so the rings go under the tires and protrude through the cuts in the tire?

 

do you have a pic of the car without the body?

The rings more or less just slip over the tire and sit in there.

When I get home (around 8pm)....I'll take some shots of just the tire and show you what I mean.
