Brand New 2022 Drift Art 2.6 EX is LEGIT

We've hit the track a few times and can say, the Drift Art 2.6 is the real deal. It's easy to drive, holds angle well and feels intuitive on the track.
Lots of driving footage on the back half of this video.
Stay tuned for finish body work and the last tweaks to this build: 5000kv motor.

That was DOPE! Lots of great info and slides! Looking forward to next Sunday for sure.

Lol!! Oh give it some time your shocks will start sticking same as mine and everybody else’s are. Especially if you’re running 3° toe in the rear. How did you address the flex from the motor to keep the belt tracking straight? I actually had a fab a motor plate from aluminum. I know some people are just adding shims just curious on what you did to correct it. By the way keep up the awesome work love your channel

[@crawlersncustoms]

Its actually been issue free, maybe I got lucky? No issue with belt tracking either.

[@ruftime]

Thank you! Yes, we’re finally getting the quality to match 1/10th❤ I use calipers to measure the exposed tie-rod.

[@he214abc]

crazy 180 turning

[@MissingNumb]

Amazing driving, track setup, and builds! Kind of random, but you wouldn't happen to know the rough dimensions of the track your running? Looks nice and spacious yet compact in the garage. Also the surface treatment, if known? Thanks for your time and the drool worthy footage!

[@crawlersncustoms]

Thx. It’s 16x8 printed vinyl. We have applied some spray on wax at times.

[@LandenDenham]

I am growing increasingly interested in these mini drifters

[@crawlersncustoms]

They drive so well and take up so little room I think they will become more popular as people discover them.

[@LandenDenham]

@@crawlersncustoms true that, I'm sure the scx24 community will take a liking to these lol, also do the Tamyia 1/24 model car kit bodies fit on these?

[@crawlersncustoms]

@@LandenDenham yes, that supra is a static model Tamiya 1/24 body

[@muaythai193]

@@crawlersncustoms are there any finished bodies that fit?

[@crawlersncustoms]

@@muaythai193 tons. Just not from the static model kits. Look for 1/24-1/28 bodies. I’ve seen people use bodies found at 5 below or from other non hobby sources. Also the mini Z bodies are good options.

[@rcdaejeonrc5878]

cool. I'll watch the video

[@MrKillerHobbes]

sick vid bro! nice prod quality! what are some cheaper chasis options at this scale ? ty!

[@crawlersncustoms]

Thanks. There are some good options that aren’t as blinged out. I’ll be building a DA 3 soon as well as some others 🤛🏼

[@qw087783871]

Benefit a lot!

[@ripriotrc4561]

Great car, what is the length and width of the track your running on?

[@crawlersncustoms]

Thx. It’s about 16 feet x 12 feet

[@SolowFPV]

Great shots dude. Had allot of fun sliding with you

[@fclentuber]

Sick ride. How much you figure its cost you?

[@crawlersncustoms]

About 400 for the chassis. 150 for electronics and 100 for body and wheels is a pretty good guess.

[@heinies_hobbies]

What is the ground surface made of? PVC banner?

[@crawlersncustoms]

Exactly.

[@heinies_hobbies]

@@crawlersncustoms I thought it looked familiar. I used to work with that stuff a lot. Genius use.

[@tommaxx24]

👍🙂👌

[@danielmoriarty751]

Why does nobody actually talk about the issues with this car. The BGR system isn’t milled correctly the steel shock upgrade sticks if they’re put it any type of an angle. This also causes the BRS system not to work correctly. The motor plate extremely flexes and Has to be shimed or the belt tries to roll up the pulley. I won’t even get into the quality of the hardware and the fact that the grub screws in my kit needed to be completely replaced just to assemble the car. Not to mention Drift Art does not stand behind anything if it’s defective. So if you’re in the states and order it from RC mart or someone like that you’re screwed if there’s a problem.

[@crawlersncustoms]

I can’t speak to your issues. Mine went together well except for my eyes and fingers having trouble with the small parts. Hope yours get sorted 🤛🏼

[@FlowLikeWater316]

Where do I get body and wide kit? 🙏🏼

[@crawlersncustoms]

Tamiya body. Russian wide body kit. Check out our other videos on this car and there are more details.

[@jhawk1985]

Ive been eyeing the Driftart chassis for about a year now. Gonna end up picking one up. I enjoy building and tuning as much as driving them. Great build and camera skills. Very cool

[@crawlersncustoms]

Right on!

[@angelpelcastre3328]

What wheels are those ?

[@crawlersncustoms]

If I remember right they are 22mm with mild offset. No branding.

[@Titan9]

Do you still have the stl file for the magnet mount

[@crawlersncustoms]

Probably buried in my files somewhere. Once we unpack after the move I’ll get things up and running on the hobby side.

[@Titan9]

Thanks can’t wait

[@Titan9]

@@crawlersncustoms hey i was wondering if you found those stl files yet

[@All_RC_Fun]

That looks like a lot of fun. Great way to beat the heat.

[@crawlersncustoms]

Definitely too hot to be outside mid day!

[@demonslayer9772]

Do you think 2.6EX is better than 2.5SX?

[@crawlersncustoms]

I couldn’t say without building and driving the 2.5

[@GNCRC]

Subbed, Dwight sent me!

[@crawlersncustoms]

Thanks for the sub! Subbed as well

[@designerchen8611]

Deep thought.glad to watch this!

[@crawlersncustoms]

Thank you, keep me in mind when you have the 2.7 released!

[@ogmrcool]

Awesome stuff James!

[@crawlersncustoms]

Thanks. Fun little project!
