Can You Drift On RCP Mini96 Tiles? Mini-Z AWD & Atomic DRZ2

[@ruftime]

We just installed this track on a 4x8 platform, that hinges to the wall like a Murphy bed, for one of my RC students😎

[@BMR3]

Nice! Let me know how it goes & what setup you use for drifting. Love the Murphy bed idea

[@benjaminrico6420]

Thanks for checking! I really appreciate it!

[@BMR3]

Happy to help the community in any way I can! Have a good one man!

"I'm not that skilled of a driver I'm just pinballing allover this thing" 😂 too funny. Thanks for the show case

[@BMR3]

Just trying to keep it real 😹 thank you for the support!

[@iamking9778]

Wish they still had the dnanos, pretty cool .

[@BMR3]

Me too! I’m holding out hope Atomic or GL will make a Dnano scale car but it’s doubtful

[@muaythai193]

If you want to have the feeling of drifting on mats indoors with little space, get yourself a Sturmkind Dr!ft car. You even have Ice-Mode now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHSWpHapbMmmrq8 Or Gymkhana style drifting on asphalt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYWcopykg8R0rJY I only enjoy 1:10 scale and up RC drifting. With the small scale I prefer the computer simulated scale speed display model that is Dr!ft. 🤷‍♂️

[@BMR3]

I need to build a PC so I can get more into gaming lol. But yeah I feel like the simulations have come along way & are worth it. 1/10th scale is cool but you need a lot more space & that's the issue I have, hence the micro sliders.

[@muaythai193]

@@BMR3 The 1:43 Sturmkind Dr!ft car is real obviously, hope I didn’t explain that the wrong way, but it’s movements are simulated on your smartphone, with the car replicating what’s happening inside the sim. With sounds and lights as well. For the small scale it works really really well, as you can see in the vids. 👍

[@pekwalker]

Love that setup. Great video man. I may have missed it, but did you have the track on the rough side or the smooth side? The smooth side is better for drift.

[@BMR3]

Thanks buddy! Have a happy Friday!

[@BlitzWorks]

wow the drz front end was all over the place, almost looked like the servo was causing issues. i have been using the LF-5's for mine but my track layout was also set up for much longer curves than what you have there. i found i can do on the spot rotations or the wider drifts, going around the barriers is much harder and takes time. looking at the video i wonder if everything is too tight and its just a different style of drift not using official rcp track and wondering if thats the difference, i do have some HDPE sheets coming in for low grip drift so am excited to see how they do

[@The_Absurdistt]

New subscriber, love your channel. Those gold wheels on the red car are amazing... Where can I pick up a set?

[@BMR3]

Those rims came with the S13 Autoscales, I don’t think they can be purchased separately.

[@Ryndel]

What about for touring, what are your thoughts on rwd VS awd? Subbed!

[@BMR3]

for touring RWD all day long, they are so much more responsive. but the AWD are great since you can drift with hard tires, or tour with sticky tires, no need to change any other settings.

[@matthvids]

The MA020 seems to be a better slider. Is yours with the stock motor? Nice video and cool idea.

[@BMR3]

Yep stock motor on the ma-020 & the EVO has a 4100kv motor so they are comparable. But yeah the ma-020 was much easier to drive due to the weight distribution, the ma-030 has too much front weight & it increased the amount of grip significantly. Still lots of fun, hopefully one day I’ll get the set up dialed in on foam tiles so I can use these more often.

[@matthvids]

@@BMR3 Interesting. Personaly i'm more into driving "rallye game" so my Wltoy K989 has foam tyres I use on woodfloor to have good powerslides, a bit like your MA020 does here.

[@BMR3]

@@matthvids Rally is a lot of fun, dont get me wrong, but im here to DRIFT!! lol

[@matthvids]

@@BMR3 I know my friend, but it's interesting to notice that drift tyres on RCP tracks gives what can be the driving style searched by other guys 😎

[@NeoIsrafil]

Does it have a gyro? It looks like its correcting itself during the drift, unless you're not countersteering, or its 4wd and the front is getting grip... couple possible reasons I guess.

[@BMR3]

the DRZ has a gyro & the others do not since they are AWD

[@popupheadlights8584]

How were you able to use an R32 body on the MA-030 with the motor mount being in the way?

[@BMR3]

It just barely clears the high motor mount & fits without modification.

[@popupheadlights8584]

@@BMR3 wow. awesome. I had to shave some of the plastic off the motor mount to fit my R33. Thank you!

[@BMR3]

@@popupheadlights8584 yep the r33 has a slightly lower hood line then the r32 so that’s why you had to do some light modification. Good to hear you made your r33 fit

[@popupheadlights8584]

@@BMR3 thank you! I'm loving this chassis. My only complain is you can only do 94-98mm without having to remove the rear diff.

[@fangchen2424]

Not sure if this is true, but I heard that you could flip the track and use the other side of the RCP tile which has less grid. Not owned one so never tried. And BTW great video. I was always thinking of getting one set of this thing but not sure if it can be used by drift.

[@BMR3]

Thank you for the comment! Yes I know what you mean, but this is the flipped over smooth side, the other side is super rough & unusable for drifting.

[@fangchen2424]

@@BMR3 Gotcha. I guess I will just keep using my coffee table for drifting as well lol

[@BMR3]

That’s what I use & it’s perfect! Keep on drifting brother!

[@stephenking2932]

One side is for racing and one side for drifting!

[@BMR3]

Not anymore, most racers run the smooth side since it provides a lot of grip & the rough side tends to create a lot of track dust. IME the smooth surface has too much grip to drift properly, but YMMV

[@kristofercerny3825]

Hey BMR I got a question for you. I am trying to decide what ds racing tires I should get. I drift on concrete and use standard kyosho tires. Thanks!

[@BMR3]

So do you want more or less grip? Is budget an issue or can you buy multiple sets?

[@kristofercerny3825]

More grip

[@BMR3]

Kristofer Cerny the Kyosho tires are equivalent to the LF3, if you want more grip I recommend the LF1 or even the F5 but I have zero experience with the F5.

[@kristofercerny3825]

Thanks!

[@BMR3]

Kristofer Cerny anytime man!

[@paulgugliotti9446]

Is the other side of the tiles smooth? Try that for drifting

[@BMR3]

I was using the smooth side brother but thanks! It’s just too much grip due to the rubbery surface (it also makes a crazy amount of rubber dust that gets in the bearings...)

[@BlueDrift]

kyosho dnano's plastic track is still the best track to drift on 😎

[@BMR3]

Agreed, you need a super hard surface with very low grip to be able to drift effectively

[@cosiDIVerso]

can't wait to place mine and start dnano challenge :D

[@BMR3]

Dnanos are so rare it’s stupid! I wish Kyosho would rerelease that series so we can all enjoy it

[@HungNguyen-oz1jc]

Where you get those bodies?

[@BMR3]

all over the place to be honest, Ebay mostly but also on some of the distributor sites when the bodies first release.

[@HungNguyen-oz1jc]

@@BMR3 I'm looking for a body for my drz v2 kit, can you name some of the legit providers?

[@chuckwalters4759]

The biggest question is why don't RCP make a Mini z drift course?? I cannot believe anyone has make one yet!

[@BMR3]

I know what you mean! But I also think part of it is the drift cars need a perfectly smooth surface more then anything else, & tiles tend to be uneven. That said, there is a Dnano scale track that’s made of hard plastic, one of my subscribers Scan 070 has it & has posted a few videos drifting on it. Here’s a link if your interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4PMcpSnirZkebs

[@OswaldBeef]

It's because everyone has a kitchen floor allready....

[@BMR3]

Yeah bro but look back at one of my first videos about drifting on tile floors. Sometimes it’s just not feasible since the tiles are super uneven, have large gaps, or the kitchen itself is too small. I would be interested in a interlocking drift track I could store easily.

[@chuckwalters4759]

@@BMR3 I am currently working on making a cheap all used tripple ping pong table track. I have 3 now and all fold up and trying to figure out how to do it. One tabe would be fun but why not 3?!Lol 5x9 didnt seem like enough when I tried it. There are small gaps. May use tape.but trying to figure out whether I should do a carpet or not? What's your opinion on thin carpet for drifting? Or should I just use the ping pong table surface?

[@BMR3]

@@chuckwalters4759 honestly the ping pong surface is perfect IMO since I like a very low traction surface. Carport provide much more grip & result in higher speed drifts so it comes down to preference. If I was you I would just bridge the gap between tables with some of the wide painters tape, the blue kind. It shouldn’t mess with grip too much since it’s low traction in my experience.

[@Jasta315]

Is your track smooth side up or textured side up?

[@BMR3]

Smooth side up

[@aarronwootton]

@@BMR3 textured side is for drifting!

[@tylerm124]

To drive like race car you should turned the gyro off and limited the steering real quick

Change your tires

[@BMR3]

The cars all had different tires & later I tried the DS racing LF5 & I still could not slide like I wanted to. But then again I’m a bit spoiled & used to super low traction surfaces so I can drift a lot slower & controlled.
