[Review] Turbo Racing C65 1/76 RWD Drift Car

[@smallmodelcollector]

I appreciate the honesty. I have the 1st gen drifter and could never get it to drift like a 1/27. I hope a hobby grade 1/43 drifter comes out since the crawlers in that scale work well.

[@oasissharp]

theres some good 1:43s around rn that are much cheaper tbh

[@gtheodor82]

great video as always man! thanks for reviewing this!

[@unknown5389]

I just got one of these recently and found it doesnt turn left at all. The wheels turn but the car just goes off in a straight line, as opposed to when it turns right and it does donuts. Any idea why?

[@BeaversHobby]

It might be possible that the wheels don't touch the ground evenly. This could come from an uneven chassis or suspension/spring doesn't push the wheels down the same tension. You can try passing a piece of paper through all the wheels to check if all of them touch the ground. If the paper can go through any of them you'll have to lower the wheel somehow. Either sand the bottom of the knuckle a bit so the wheel can come down more or try and pull the spring on the suspension to see if it can push the wheel more.

I bought the c75 from radiomaster and was planning to get this as well, but it’s not on their website anymore. I looked if they still had the c75 but it was also gone for no reason. Have they stopped selling turbo racing cars for no reason? I’m pretty lucky I guess I got my C75 about a week before they disappeared but still kinda weird.

[@BeaversHobby]

Unfortunately it seems like Radiomaster has dropped the series. Still, this is actually the car from Turbo Racing so it's still available in other places.

[@burn1gotbeats]

Is there a proper RTR 1:76 scale or 1:43 drift car you could recommend?

[@BeaversHobby]

SNT has one www.banggood.com/custlink/Gvvii5CPVs . It's pretty expensive but it has good suspension, locked diff and good steering angle. It's AWD though. Another option is DM racing NEZ. It's not RTR but it's a proper RWD drift car at 1/64 scale. www.gt55racing.com/products/nez-1-64-rwd-drift-chassis-arr-version-dmracing?DIST=RUZBGw%3D%3D

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Always great videos Mr Beaver sir! 🍻😊

[@yackablejohnson1485]

There are videos for turning hot wheels into drift cars. They are the same scale and relative size as this car. They work well. I wonder if it's the dicast body weight that helps those cars. It got me thinking, could this car be improved with weight and a better gyro?

[@BeaversHobby]

Weight do translate to momentum which these small cars don't have so that helps. Other important things are steering angle and the capability of the gyro. It needs a lot of steering angle couple with not twitchy gyro to be able to hold the drift.

[@GundamDroid]

I just ordered the limited edition version of this C65 car. Its orange car. Have you seen it? It comes with a different new orange transmitter and a 7 channel receiver. The transmitter comes with a big flashlight built in it, that's a very strange thing to add to a transmitter. Id like to know your analysis on that new transmitter.

[@BeaversHobby]

That transmitter is the flagship one from Turbo Racing and it's really good. You can also use it with their receivers too.

[@_-Anthony-_]

I feel like you didn't have too much grip on all materials, but too little grip. Front wheels had no traction to pull it, so it just went forward. The carpet would have a little more grip, hence you being able to control it more. Or am I wrong?

[@wanpachaysri1081]

Thanks for the review!

Great vid! Liked & subscribed 👍

[@Noonamee-x6c]

hello what gyro is best to buy?

[@BeaversHobby]

GT55 or DasMikro is great with the steering curve and wheel shake filter. After that there's AGFC GYS-2 V4 which has similar steering curve but not as good filter so you might get wheel shake on some cars.

[@Noonamee-x6c]

I need for LDRC HONDA NSX Which one is better

[@ZeeskiiiWTW]

been playing with the c65 and some settings to get used to the car i can tell you are( for me i have the limited edition version so some settings might be different %’s so adjust accordingly by rounding to highest or lowest whichever is comfortable) SVC- 55%, D/R ST- 80% if your really struggling but 100% is what i use and i’m not a rc drifter at all been at this for only 2 weeks 😂 but last 2 settings will be D/R TH-65%, and last setting you will want to unscrew the front screw(closest to hood) and pop the top body cover off and make it to where you see the circuitry and locate the 2 front screws next to each wheel ( towards the hood of car) and take the screw tool given to you in shipment or any other tool that works for you and unscrew each screw to where you can see exactly a millimeter of the screw popping out on top (i recommend using a ruler) and slide the back of the body back into the rear lights don’t forcefully push it in or you’ll break it and then line it up and slightly click it in and you’ll hear it click and screw it back together and there you’ll have your newly sort of modded rc car with applicable settings ( sorry it’s long i tried to make it as detailed as possible down to every step so there’s no confusion because that’s what it was for me with every video and reddit post so i figured it on my own and thought i’d share)

[@snörre23]

I wonder why there are a few videos where it does very controlled drifts. Do you think they are completely faked ?

[@BeaversHobby]

I don't think they faked the drift (although I haven't watched other reviews yet). To my best ability with good surface, this car can do skids for a few seconds before snapping back so with good camera angle & cut it could appear to be drifting.

[@muhammadsiam2562]

Thanks bro, this video is very helpful ✔

[@nasrulsaifuddin4768]

It all comes down to the surface. It goes well enough on the "Turbo Racing" drift mat. Initially, I struggled with this. Then I bought the drift mat and now it's more fun to play with. Even so, the car does not hold a drift for long. It's more akin to wheelspin and swinging out the tailend.

[@TR850]

I actually think that even on surfaces that do not allow you to hold the drift, they are still super fun and the quality of finish is pretty good. It is fun to try to run them fast, because you end up with lots of powerslides. It is like a hillclimb with an overpowered car. 😂

[@StaticPoo]

hard to explain but the turbo racing drift mat makes them glide like butter. without it you really have to play with the gyro and move slow.

[@BeaversHobby]

Thanks. I'll try to find out what kind of surface or material it is. Does it make the car slide indefinitely like a proper drift car or for a few seconds? The problem I have is that it can do a bit of tail out action for a few seconds then it'll straighten out even if the gyro is already dialed in. In my definition, a drift RC has to be able to slide indefinitely until I decide to stop. This one just can't do that no matter the surface.

[@TR850]

I have one and I actually think it works better if you carry more speed. And that is equally true with real cars, you have to have enough speed, otherwise it is more of a powerslide than drift.

[@StaticPoo]

@TR850 You need the power but should only use 20-30% in order to slide. Too much power will make you spin out. Holding the drift is only possible when you have throttle control.

[@droneracer]

@@BeaversHobby it's not easy but it does hold a drift on the 900mm × 600 drift mat. Throttle and gyro at about 50%. also the front suspension is adjustable, if it's adjusted wrong the rear end tries to overtake the front causing immediate 360 spins.

[@tim17371]

I saw other people having a hard time with it and they turned the gyro down and it was better. I don't have one so I never got to try it

[@BeaversHobby]

Turning gyro down helps a bit but the steering angle is not good enough to keep it sideways.

[@admiralisshobattousai2806]

I knew it. it would not drift properly. and could not hold a slide. I doubtful at first that this small rc car can't hold a slide becoz of what i saw from previous turbo racing drift rc.

[@braelighty6212]

Skill issues

[@skkracing9994]

Die autos funktionieren nur mit der extra turboracing driftstrecke

[@jordanpopo9693]

Not with this new version it works perfectly fine on any smooth platform

[@jordanpopo9693]

This is terrible a review i love mine its way better than the previous version i can use its on my kitchens work top and on the turbo racing drift track sweet you must be doing something wrong

[@BeaversHobby]

Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you like the car. But this is really not for me or I probably expected it to do much better than a bit of skidding before snapping back to straight.

[@nguyenvietanh27]

May I know details of how you tune it? I tried for hours but it doesn’t work for me.
