Brushless Upgraded LDRC 1804 MX5 Mazda Miata Mini RC Drift Car.

[@Rome101style]

The LD1802 got my feet wet with RC drifting… been modifying my RX-7 for 3 months now! My chassis is all chewed up lol but it still works. Broke like 4 or 5 end rods lmao… and from there it was on! I hope to make a video or something soon to show my mods! Making custom rims & tires without a 3D printer is a nightmare. But worth it. 😂

[@shawnrichardson118]

I have the same electric screwdriver tool set. But I switched to the Injora tools because they are so much tighter and almost never strip out the screw or bolts. Pretty cool little drifter🤘✌️

[@MooseRidez]

Letss goo!!! Remember to set yoor endpoints again for your gyro with the uograde if u havent already. Idk if you seen but my ldrc wiith the brusless swap has been killing it at the track! Trying to get more local people on it

[@valentintenev4339]

Hello, do you think that I can just put a more powerful brushed motor, without changing the electronics?

[@GergőKajcic-b3j]

PLEASE HELP!!! The motherboard (1:00) Accidentally managed to reverse the positive and negative cables. What should I do? Should I buy a new motherboard?(Where?) If I buy a new one will it work with the original remote control?

[@RunThatRC]

You definitely need a new board. You have to get the same style board that came with yours so your original remote will work. Search on aliexpress for "ldrc parts".

[@smoth0p3ratorc5]

Technically, with the gyro at 100 it should go fairly straight with rubber tires...n fast.

[@Fast_Lane_RC]

Hello and thanks for the instructional video, I want to ask you what size motor fits inside this 1:18 scale rc's?

[@RunThatRC]

30mm diameter can I believe and depends what body will determine how long the can has to be.

[@Fast_Lane_RC]

@@RunThatRC followed your kinda recomendation and went for the nsx gray so plastic lighter body with the new remote so new v4 board i am hoping. Has it is my first drifter i thought i follow your advice because you start with these so you know better then me what works best for beginner. I appreciate you took the time to give your opinion my friend. Keep up with the good content i will be watching for sure. Ricardo

[@RubenVieira-EXKRC]

awsome rig and nice run great video👌✌👍 subded👍💪

[@RunThatRC]

Thanks for the sub!

[@joebxth]

It'll be dope if there's 1:18 scale drift car comp

[@MooseRidez]

The guys in the Phillipines have been doing it!! Kinda nuts tbh

[@joebxth]

@@MooseRidez I'm in the Philippines and not aware of that

[@MooseRidez]

@@joebxth raizmalik and a few others have done it

Change with metal will be good and last longger

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

I just the the metal body gtr and it came packaged different also has shocks instead of the tension wire suspension.

[@RunThatRC]

yes the newer version has coilover suspension now. Some people like them and some say the older suspension works better for them.

[@PacoElMapache]

is it possible to add a 4WD mod? Proper 4WD and not AWD that cant be disabled?

[@RunThatRC]

that would be cool but nothing I know for these can do that at the moment.

[@GameMania-bp5rj]

Nice bodywork

[@cantbelieveitsnotbutter]

Ive purchased this same one and I've trying to find anywhere if it's possible to make it wink. I think I would have to open it up for that to happen though

[@RunThatRC]

you would need to modify it with individual servos. The stock pop up setup has one servo controlling both headlights that are linked together.

[@Zthekepper]

​@@cantbelieveitsnotbutter do the lights still work when converted to brushless

[@Rahzarusfilms]

Question, what are the three connection wires coming off the motor, as the stock motor has only two thin wires and 1 connector. I'm new and wondering how to change that so I can get a brushless

[@RunThatRC]

brushed motors use two wires and brushless use 3 wire and sime and sensored so they have another separate wire harness for sensored duty. If you want to go brushless you would have to replace all the electronics. thats a new transmitter/receiver, brushless motor, electronic speed controller (esc), you can run stick batteries. All this would need to be wired up and some soldering would be needed for the project.

[@clean1566]

Oooohh, I'm going to check that gearbox. I heard a funny noise about 2 minutes in. Where'd you get those wheels? Thanks again for another informative video.

[@RunThatRC]

wheels an tires are LDRC upgrade parts. I search aliexpress for deals. I seen these go up to ten bucks a set of four but most sellers have it for a little over five bucks. unfortunately the seller I got my parts from no longer sells these so I didnt post a link.

[@neonnerd1364]

I bet you this swap would make it really good on a rougher surface.

[@RunThatRC]

gives it a lot of wheel speed thats for sure.

[@Tamurfrl5523]

Where u bought wheels?

[@RunThatRC]

aliexpress. Just search LDRC and they pop up.

[@blitzrc4713]

What price and brand is the electric screwdriver 🪛 you use?

[@subzerolives]

@run that rc does the nsx body fit the mx5 chassis? Can you check this for me? I have the chance to but one mx5.

[@RunThatRC]

they all have the same chassis. Only the ae86 has shorter a-arms. You might need to remove the underbody cladding to prevent tire rubbing.

[@subzerolives]

@RunThatRC thank you

[@HyperspeedMedia]

do you have links to the motors?

[@RunThatRC]

unfortunately not. I got this motor in a trade 10 years ago and I dont even know the kv or anything. The motor is probably not in production anymore and they probably have a new version nowadays.

[@simplybeanjelly]

Awesome! I was waiting for this video!

[@RunThatRC]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@enk6726]

yo how do you disable the ldrc internal gyro so i can put my dasmikro on it? or i just set the internal gyro to 0?

[@marcel3548]

My dasmikro arrived today and it just worked by turning the internal one to 0. I had the same question yesterday haha Also you would really notice the interference if both gyros were running -but I was wondering if there is a way to disable it properly

[@enk6726]

@@marcel3548 nice tysm for letting me know

[@RunThatRC]

yup unfortunately setting the knob to 0 is the only way I know of to turn it off on the newer models.

[@Detvu1108]

What is the size of the original motor?

[@RunThatRC]

original motor is a 150 size can.

[@Detvu1108]

​@@RunThatRCI mean the length and diameter of the motor. Can you measure it for me?Thanks for the feedback!
