[Review] MA Racing 1.5 1/24 RWD Drift Car

[@matthutch5919]

You sir are one of the BEST r.c vehicle reviewers on the planet I personally 💯 ❤ ALL your videos

[@sunnysky9292]

Good luck with your work! Thanks for the videos, hope to see them again ^^

[@hightorquerc]

Good honest review as usual, keep them coming!

[@Pottsieh]

Happy new year and good luck B! Hope to see you back some time soon!

[@Hannsom7]

this what i want right here!! just wow

[@tylerseabook9423]

Thank you for this beaver. This things looking promising.

[@brandonmaddox2077]

Would you go with the ma racing 1.5,dlr8 or drift art 3s?

[@BeaversHobby]

I haven't got DLR8 so I can't comment on that. But between MA 1.5 and Drift Art 3S (now 4) I'd choose according to the scale I want to play. For 1/24 I'd choose MA 1.5. For 1/28 narrow chassis I'd choose Drift Art.

[@Steve_J81]

Are you using a pvc table cloth for your track?

[@BeaversHobby]

Yes, it's pvc/vinyl table cloth. Here's how I made it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX6QnGOEpcarg8k

[@virginiapaddler4857]

Great video! What would you suggest for a Adjustable chassis (wheelbase and track) RWD for use with multiple 1/24 scale and 1/25 scale model cars for just touring around. not really drifting for now.

[@BeaversHobby]

Long story short; Mini-Z MR03 or Mini-Q Q2/MRC-01 will do fine for touring with 1/24 body. Full details: Unfortunately most of 1/24 cars right now are for drifting. We generally do 1/24 to accommodate the scale model. For touring around, stick with 1/28 because it has durable body from Mini-Z. You can also modify Mini-Z MR03 to extend it however you like. Using RWD drift chassis for touring doesn't work well because 1/24 doesn't come with differential needed to drive normally. Also the steering arrangement to get maximum angle doesn't withstand the stress and grip of touring.

so can it have a wheelbase/ATA of 123mm or 4.8in?

[@BeaversHobby]

Maximum is 120mm by the original parts but you can set the wheel camber/caster to extend that a bit so yes, it can do 123mm. You can also extend the chassis with DIY plates so the wheelbase is practically infinite.

[@_Raylo_]

@@BeaversHobby good because I was planning to use this with a Fujimi kit of a Nissan stagea and it has the of 123mm

[@SeekingTheVerdants]

A little off-topic here. You and I have spoken about the Mini-D chassis in the past. Is there a more standard name that is used for this chassis? It can't be found on KZbin under that name and I wonder if there's another name for it. Thanks!

[@BeaversHobby]

It's just Mini-D or Yokomo Warrior 1/28 but Mini-D is more common. I guess there aren't many people who have it so you don't really see the videos.

[@khairulhadi787]

Can you do a review on ma racing dlr8?

[@BeaversHobby]

I'll take a look at it but I don't know when.

[@MrKillerHobbes]

Nice review! How does the furitek ESC compare to the HW ezrun mini? in terms of throttle control

[@michaelstronghand7584]

Where is the Servo list? Can't find it.😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@BeaversHobby]

- AGF A11CLS - AFRC D2114TG-S - DriftArt servo (basically the AFRC D2114TG-S) - PN Racing V4 Anima

[@michaelstronghand7584]

​@BThx eaversHobby but what is with this 1? AGF B13DLM V2 Mini Servo?

[@BeaversHobby]

@@michaelstronghand7584 No, that won't fit. It's a lot bigger than what this car can take. Only the servos on the list will fit this car.

[@michaelstronghand7584]

​@@BeaversHobbySorry for the error but I am not using this chassis my chassis is the Atomic DRZ MP I was wondering if the servo that I mentioned would fit in my car.

[@BeaversHobby]

@@michaelstronghand7584 No worries. Unfortunately the one you pick won't fit either. DRZ3 MP needs even smaller servo than this. There are Atomic servo, PN Anima (the thin one) or AGF A06CLS. There should be one from GL Racing too but I had it and it was weak and slow compared to the others.

[@ulungprabowo]

What is the best 1/24 RC you ever tried? I cannot decide which one

[@BeaversHobby]

It's this one, MA Racing 1.5. It's easy to build, easy to tune and easy to drive even for a beginner. The only troubles being the price and availability. I don't know if it's still $400 with limited run or not. But if it's not available anymore, DriftArt 3S is also a good choice.

[@ulungprabowo]

@@BeaversHobby wahhh.. Thank you very much for giving me the answer I need!!

[@turkerthemu]

how can I make this twice slower? can I add smaller tires?

[@BeaversHobby]

Yes, you can use smaller (standard size) tyres. Other things you can do are changing tyre compound, change the suspension setup and change the drifting surface or coat it with slippery oil.

[@actjng]

Awesome! Can you tell me where you got the wheels on the car? They look like r33 gtr stock wheels!

[@BeaversHobby]

Nice catch! They are exactly R33 GT-R wheels. I got them when I bought R33 GT-R V Spec unpainted body. Hopefully it's still in stock. banzaihobby.com/Kyosho-MZN182

[@fidkjaadjk]

my god that asian accent is STRONG DAWG btw nice video

[@muaythai193]

Which chassis would you recommend for slow and smooth drifts without any weightshift? Low traction, low centre of gravity, easy setup/drifting

[@BeaversHobby]

GLD or DRZ V2

[@muaythai193]

@@BeaversHobby thank you! Any body recommendation for slow/smooth drifts? Or does it make only a small difference?

[@BeaversHobby]

@@muaythai193 Keep it 90-94mm narrow body with short front and rear overhang. All of the Skylines, GT86/BRZ and Supra Mk.V (the BMW M4 one) are good for that.

[@muaythai193]

@@BeaversHobby wow didn’t expect that. So the shorter wheelbase bodies drift slower and smoother than the 98-102mm bodies with overhang (BMW M3 GTR, Chrysler 300C, Honda Odyssey)

[@BeaversHobby]

@@muaythai193 The speed is from the tyres so choose whatever the most slippery available like DS Racing LF-5. The short wheelbase and narrow will make it smooth and agile.

[@thedreamingsupercade]

Subbed! Would you suggest the Furitek 3500 or 5500kv motor for this? And the 7500 would be an absolute no no? Thx in advance!

[@BeaversHobby]

It depends on your track size. 5500KV is really good and you can gear it up or down very well with this chassis so that's a good start. 3500KV if your track is small, under 2m wide (that's in this case, normally it'd be fine until 3m). 7500KV is way too fast for micro drift track. You might need that if you will run it along 1/10 though.

[@thedreamingsupercade]

Thank you! Do you have a link to the instructions? The one I found is for the earlier version?

[@thedreamingsupercade]

Nevermind - I found the instructions! Googling the instructions only brought the older version up. QR code on box was overlooked

[@thedreamingsupercade]

Building mine now! 😀 Thanks so much. I thought it came with a gyro from this video. Can you suggest a couple good mid to high-price/quality gyro? Also - do you know if the disc brake set is available or will be?

[@BeaversHobby]

@@thedreamingsupercade Take a look at AGF GY04M V3 or AFRC GYS-2 V3 for the gyro. It's basically the same, good and reliable at a reasonably price. As for the brake disks, it doesn't seem to be available right now and I don't know if they will remake it or sell separately at this moment.

[@alex_snow7417]

Where did you get thoes rims

[@BeaversHobby]

These are Skyline R33 V-Spec wheels I got from white body package. Then painted them with gunmetal gray.

[@calibeats]

awesome channel my bro

[@brianstevens2244]

Are you going to review the radio link rc8x?

[@BeaversHobby]

I tried to get banggood to send one but no luck. As far as I know it still runs the same protocol so it's not going to be any faster, higher resolution nor longer range. The extra adjustments on the transmitter are really nice if you will use those. Personally if it's my own money I'd get the Futaba 4PM Plus because it's the same price and that would be a nice upgrade to my old 3PK.

Bahahahaha! You said it best when you said “If GLD and Drift Art made a baby, it woud be a MA 1.5”… Lolol

Great review.👍👍

Adjustable width is good if you are going to slam a wide body kit on your car

[@mheckpool]

are you selling rtr?

[@johndonovan7018]

that straight axle with no diff kills it at slow speed.......................

[@machoman5356]

Take it easy on that car wow Hamer drifting 👍

[@soma_rc]

Sounds like that project is raising a kid 😅

[@ripmax333]

not as smooth as I was expecting during the Drifting but nice chassis anyway.

[@johnfaustus1]

Ouch, the bare chassis alone is 400USD.

[@miragespl]

Yeah, with that price tag, I'd question why you wouldn't just get a 1/10 chassis

[@bobbyray2803]

Mini rc drift cars are cool until you see the price unfortunately

[@gingerdude94]

Sounds terrible with the body on

[@BeaversHobby]

Yeah, the gear sound is really echoing and amplified with the body.
