It’s called twin charging people use it for super high horsepower

[@icebrew]

saw an rx 7 fc a while ago with a blower and 2 turbos, lancia also did it in group B by using the supercharger for low speeds and then switching to the turbo at high speeds to help lag.

[@jauken83]

I saw that too, but I think its ridiculous enough to be a fun Easter egg for car guys.

It was clearly AMain trying to display all their Drift accessories.. The stock mustang body definitely looked better.

never in my life would i have expected a full grown adult to build a car lookin like that. Does he really think the fake twin charged thru the hood setup looks cool on an R31?? and couldn’t even mount the wing! it’s not even my car and it’s got me upset lol

Nah bruh. I was expecting a clean build🥲. Those air intakes, blower and oil intercooler needs to go😁. The YR spoiler mounts needs to be attached beside the license plate.

[@jaycrabs420]

Wing isnt mounted right because the body has a dove tail wing on it already. It should mount to top of trunk not back. Besides that, nice build

[@AMain_Hobbies]

The wing only mounts from the back, not the top. Here are some other photo's from Yeah Racing: www.yeahracing.com/carbon-graphite-spoiler-wing-mount-w-plastic-rear-wings-for-1-10-drift-type-a-ya-0508-00068944 -Brett

[@zach125b]

@@AMain_Hobbies the wing is still not mounted correctly. based off a real life chassis mount wing, it is meant to be lower on the back of the car, more on the rear bumper

[@just.jose.youtube]

I guess it's as correct as their personal preferences. :p Still, they could have missed something. I'd also have mounted it lower, probably on the bumper.

[@Crummieboi56]

custom is soo cool. good video thanks

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Good video man, thanks!!!

[@subwayracing]

Its looks cool with the lights and roll cage. But the blower, intercooler, turbos, and wing make it look too crazy for me. But thats me. If it has a lower/ smaller wing, i thin it would work better. Thats just me tho, i love this body and definitely the color, but it seems a bit excessive to add those small things

[@danielmoriarty751]

The best thing to use to get the body magnets to actually stay on the body is 3M molding adhesive for real cars. I have never had servo tape last longer than a month.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Good idea, we'll look into that. -Brett

[@heutmorgen3265]

will this series be continued? i remember you said in part 1 that you would like to make this one easy to drive and stuff. since i am into 10th scale drifting myself, i can tell you there are some good things you could do to this chassis on the performance side to improve the driving experience. first thing that comes to mind would be a sensored motor system for improved throttle control. also keep the poles of that motor as low as possible (not the windings), a lighter rotor tends to have less coasting effect, when you let off the gas. could be benefitial. in any case, fun series, entertaining to watch. thank you. -Daniel.

[@just.jose.youtube]

Great job! I wonder how all that bling would look like in the original body, I think I would have liked it better. What matters is what rows your boat! :)

[@SeanNyte]

Awesome job, bro! When is Part 5 coming?🤣

[@endosrc]

you should use a dark dragon wing blower motor instead of a plain rpm one

[@thepaddychannel]

Looks cool Brett. I had a R31 four door 1:1 as my first car in the early 90’s and always wanted to do it up, it’s long gone but maybe I will do a smaller version of my dream car.

[@rebelleewilliams1430]

Don't lie to him. This looks like pure crap

[@carguy0734]

I did the same thing with the wheels cause the offset cause it to scratch on the brakes also if you do it on mst rmx remove the spacers if you have them.

[@maclainsxl]

Exhaust manifold spring someone let me in on this it’s the first time I’ve ever seen them or heard of putting “springs on it” I’m genuinely curious I’ve probably just been under a rock 🤣🤣

[@icebrew]

15:17 This is what it is. it's not supposed to look exactly how you want, or be realistic, and it shouldn't have to be. a big reason why people get into RC is because they can do whatever they want and aren't bound by the limitations of real cars and the money it takes to build them., so it annoys me when people try to enforce these non-existent rules and bring in the toxicity of the irl car scene. btw the wing has 2 small tabs that you can barely see that would cover up a part of the license plate so thats why its mounted higher

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I'm with you IceBrew. The r/c hobby is supposed to be a sandbox for people to create anything they want. Sadly, that seems to be lost on some people. -Brett

[@lax2dia101]

I mounted the front of the rim on the tire then put the back piece followed by the screws..much easier.

[@gravityracergt]

Wing should be mounted down near the license tag and the flat upright surface would have given you a correct wing angle. It’s tough to accept a wing that looks like that.. I think next time a little more research and knowledge gained before rushing into a video would be beneficial. Appreciate the time you took to make a video though. Parts 1-3 were great.

[@Reypure207]

Faaaaaack twin turbo and super charger daaaaaaaaaamn.

[@imnick2724]

Well that’s quite unique lookin…lol

[@nicholasmays2704]

Tell me the drifter side of the hobby is the most pressed without telling me the drifter side of the hobby is the most pressed=read these comments.😂😂😂 But for real, ya'll think that wing mount is a troll move?? 😂🤨

[@midengine8576]

I think killerbody has the best prepainted bodies. I dont own any but they look the best. I have a yokomo yd-2e carbon fiber chassis version, and for a kit I love it. Im going to get a yokomo ae86 body so I can stick the magnets on the dimples so I dont have to set up the mounts custom. The magnet will be in the rear window but im okay with that. I can remove a magnet from a clear surface without messing up paint anyways if I do get different rear mounts. Ebay magnet mounts work fine though. Cool video.

[@henrysimas4747]

there's a kit you can get that uses the magnets to power the lights when the body is connected

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

You could also make your own but you have to know wiring REALLY well or you can short out the receiver. I mean, it’s a simple electrical circuit but you still run the risk of possibly shorting something out.

[@butterybird4987]

Wing looks a bit strange with how much it’s pointing down. Besides that looks good though👍

[@coconut_dr9194]

Maybe take off the blower wing and one or both turbos to make it look better.

[@Airown]

Great build, maybe change the wing to something that’ll fit the look, overall..still looks awesome!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@thegarf5677]

looks great if you’re under the age of… hmm… maybe 10? Even then, I’d still consider u slow.

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi Brett, that killer body really looks killer, but when I saw 👀 the price of the magnets 🧲 I went oooph, nah way too expensive for me, but whatever floats yer boat 🚤 man. Super nice video guys. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@james654100]

Looked better when you first removed it from the box lol.

[@jacobkrist69]

Bro the wing mounts are supposed to be mounted on the rear bumper so the wing is at the correct angle and doesnt peak like 2 inches above the body

[@ripmax333]

The body turned out great but if it was my I wouldn’t add those intakes and supercharger on top of the hood, in my eye they simply ruined it. But this is subjective, and I still enjoyed the video.

[@giulio4528]

17:20 Don't you need the channel 3 on the transmitter for the adjustments of the Gyro?

[@bobmalarkey4621]

DS rims are overrated to me. They do not fit on any MST chassis, that I have, without taking off the rotors and replace the calipers with regular hex adapters because the inner diameter on the backside of the rim is really narrow than any other rim I've used Also, depending on the body, you can't really get a deep offset look because the tires stick out way too far, making the car look ridiculous. And yes, the chrome finish doesn't allow the inner rim to seat properly with doing a whole bunch of tedious sanding. The black and other color rims have no issue because it's just straight plastic, no paint dip. They look cool and scale, but I've found them to be non functional garbage meant for display chassis only.

[@thegarf5677]

incorrectly mounted wing. It should be down by the license plate. MOST bodies can’t use a chasis mounted wing without modification.

[@vollickplaysgames]

turbos must feed the generator for an emergency refrigerator cuz they sure cant feed the motor if the supercharger is drawing air from the scoop on top of it. yea i know its an rc car but immediately killed the immersion for me seeing such an obvious issue. i suppose you could run some air tubing from the hood up to the supercharger to make it look plausible. or i can go f- off too.. just my 2c. ive enjoyed the build so far.
