Can you DRIFT a Front Wheel Drive RC CAR?- Tamiya M-05

[@vitodambra72]

Great video guys 😉👍🏼💯 body came out super sweet! Love the way it looks all around. Thanks for the drift content, can always count on you guys

[@RCAddictsGarage]

Nice Bros! Roof looks like a real drop-top!👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾

[@jonasgustafsson9728]

Soo much fun to watch you guys do shenanigans! 😃 Keep it up!

[@10thScaleGarage]

You keep watching and I’ll keep making them.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Guys that turned out awesome. That vinal top looks great 👍

[@10thScaleGarage]

Thanks buddy!

[@adampsrcs3487]

Great job on the body aswell.nice and scale. Really like the roof

[@lodan420]

I appreciate the Half-baked reference!

[@adampsrcs3487]

I love the fact you even tried to drift a fwd lol.i have the NSU TT princez M05 L .you can get some great realistic corner flips and rolls at high speed.lol. definitely dumb stupid fun👍👍👍

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Nice set up really cool car

[@wallacengineering8096]

Epic job on that body, looks incredible, especially with those bronze/gold-ish wheels. The chassis is laid out that way because of the fact that its FWD. They put as much weight on front end as possible. If you took a normal RC and just eliminated the rear drive shaft and ran one to the front, it would barely drive at all.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yes. I agree. The trans and diff are super cool.

[@danification6587]

awesome video!!! I hope I inspired it!!!!!

[@JREVY22DECEPTICON416]

That's a nice lil rc

[@10thScaleGarage]

Thanks!

[@dasch3studio]

i am an TAMIYA Fan and i love the tt-01 chassis and the ml´s toooooo

[@ushamso4892]

Great job 👏

[@10thScaleGarage]

Thank you! 😃

[@MusicRCBicyclesCoffee]

Great build! I'll try to look for that same kit as well.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good afternoon nice car cool video

If nothing else it looks fantastic 👍🏻🍻

[@charleswall3399]

Good Stuff

[@friktionrc]

If we work on the principle of these rc cars are just smaller versions of their bigger brothers then yeah in theory this front wheel drive car should be able to drift…but just like the 1:1 scale, it’s much harder to drift front wheel drive compared to rear wheel drive and 4wd ….mainly because as you’ve pointed out the front wheels are doing both the steering and the drive. That said, just like in real life the surface has lot to do with drifting which is why one sees front wheel drive cars drift around corners on rally stages and as shown in your clip, snow/ice conditions. Great little project for sure…and a front wheel drive Mazda mx5 is not something I’ve seen in real life let alone in 1/10scale lol Awesome job 👏👏👏👍🤟😎

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Great channel brother

[@rockboundrc7228]

I love the Tamiya kits. my favorite is the MF 01x Bug

[@claytondunlop5464]

That's a beautiful rc wish I had something like that for me n my lil man

[@goreyboggs]

All tamiyas are good, but freekin awesome. I bought drift tires for my TT02 escort.

[@10thScaleGarage]

That’s a killer looking kit.

[@fabioghiringhelli5139]

Ciao, video molto interessante, e costruttivo, volevo chiedervi se la carrozzeria della mx5 puo andar bene su un telaio tt-o1 E tamya. grazie

[@afrog2666]

Lock the diff and drive on a less slippery surface, with soft fronts and drift rears (not plastic) (: Body looks great!

[@10thScaleGarage]

Interesting idea

[@winteronice]

The real question is, why did you not buy the M-06 chassis? Love the paint job. I love the M-05 chassis aswell. Nice vid.

[@jackjax801]

That Miata body looks amazing. I wonder why they made this a FWD. Could've made a 1/10 Civic for that.

[@10thScaleGarage]

I'm pretty sure there's a civic body for it.

[@ccrum32]

@@10thScaleGarage yeah, theres a civic body for the Ff-03, and the TT-02D

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Enjoy the weekend

[@NathanStorer]

You did do a great job with the body 🙂. Maybe it would slide around better with a gyro?

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yeah maybe.

[@zerrickdracing6784]

Try putting the stock wheel on the front

[@babasanvictores5189]

How did u paint your roof?

[@10thScaleGarage]

Matte black on the outside of the lexan.

[@babasanvictores5189]

Thanks!! Im going to paint mine later

[@ptgfox3082]

I have a tamiya citroen 2cv m05 ra, the shell got converted to become a brushless tamiya tt02b monster truck monster

[@10thScaleGarage]

That sounds awesome!

[@adampsrcs3487]

Idea..put the body on backwards and drive in reverse lol might work.be like drifting a forklift lol

[@10thScaleGarage]

Way ahead of you.

[@adampsrcs3487]

@@10thScaleGarage that would be great if it works. Can't see why not lol🤦👍

[@dionwilkinson3028]

on tarmac i get lift off over steer in mine very fun with tires on but having trouble with my steering for some reason and my prop shafts keep poping out do u have nay ideo to solve this issue

[@10thScaleGarage]

Hmmm. I’m afraid I don’t. Do you have the tiny little rubber bushings on the ends of the drive shafts??

[@dionwilkinson3028]

@@10thScaleGarage yh i do n then i took them out cos i thought they were the issue but no someone said i may have a too power steering servo on it so gonna put a crappy one on ive got lying around on it today to see if it solves it

[@norsefalconer]

I'd bet a M-06 chassis will fit the Miata body. It's rear wheel drive, same wheelbase. I don't know if the width is the same, but it must be really close.

[@norsefalconer]

@Steve Vento Agreed. There is a club race class for the M-05, so maybe that was the reasoning. Who knows?

[@10thScaleGarage]

With enough chopping, anything can "fit"

[@michaobara7534]

Hi guys! This Miata looks great! Though, I wonder what was the aim of Tamiya of doing front wheel drive model of a car with rear wheel drive... Not very scale ;). I know most of Tamiyas were 4WD so far even for cars with 2WD. but when doing a model with just one axle driven it would make sense to keep the original drive. For the sake of scale. Nethertheless, car looks awesome. Great job!

[@hankkrendl8952]

"We used to eat it all the time back in the day" 🤣😆

[@10thScaleGarage]

Those were the days.

[@dasch3studio]

drift tires are not so good for the carts because the weight is very low. no grip and hardly possible to steer. The best thing is to use worn tires, it's really fun.

[@Storyracing387]

Didn't know fwd rc was a thing 😁🤣

[@TheLakemead1]

try some hard plastic drift wheels on the rea.r stock fronts

[@10thScaleGarage]

Literally did that in this episode.

[@TheLakemead1]

i can get my mst fwd hooning pretty good with harder compound rears

[@rileysvideos2059]

More "half baked" quotes please 🤣

[@10thScaleGarage]

I'm somebody's B1t©H

[@catman2654]

I am still questioning why they put a rwd car on a fwd chasie

[@danification6587]

it would have to have like a 3s brushless system and a way to have an e-brake to lock the back wheels!!! I love the idea of it!!!

[@10thScaleGarage]

Working on it.

[@zerrickdracing6784]

I guess if that helped I would add more power

[@moutwtrng]

can you not just flip the body around and make it RWD?

[@ChiefRickyRC]

Wtf. Nice paint I guess

[@10thScaleGarage]

Thanks.
