How to build an RC Drift circuit - Soul RC

We're often asked how we go about changing our RC Drift track here at Soul RC every month, so we thought it would be a good idea to put together a little video showing the process we follow. Hopefully it gives you some tips and tricks for when you're building your own tracks!
Like the video if you want to see more like this, dislike it if you don't!

It is very enlightening to watch videos of other drifters where you are able to hear the motor. These guys tap their throttle a lot. I usually keep my throttle pretty steady except in bends where you want that nice sliding power! It just shows how different people drift. There is no "correct" way to drifting. I also tapped my throttle a lot in the beginning but it turned out that i had a lot better driving flow when not tapping that throttle so much. Nice video Soul RC. I couldn't agree more about your track ideas. Too many bends and direction changes is not fun. The course i am currently driving on only has three direction changes, but it is a lot of fun. Bends that tighten or widen are many times more challenging than doing a direction change into steady bends :D Happy drifting everybody! Cheers from Denmark :D

[@OpenTheScroll]

That background music is painful

[@bandbbrothers870]

Lol

[@ememeable]

Pilots will make the best drift racers knowing the true offsets between turn and drift flys to with zero friction

[@blueststar4u]

This whole time, i thought your name was pronounced Meeto. I'll just keep saying it in my own mind then. :]

[@blueRC]

Really cool, but i have no space for this :(

[@mr.smashcake7638]

Sir, you're from the drift film "Outsiders" ARENT YOU!?!?!?!!

[@mr.anderson865]

perfect tutorial keep going

[@glennfolkvord7646]

Thank you Mitto 😊

[@FierceCards]

hey guys I am looking to build an outdoor track with outdoor carpet do you think this would work? would a 30x20 track be big enough? thanks any tips would be ideal.

[@LightGesture]

Are you using carpet? What is your flooring? Where do you get the bumpers? I really want to make a track!

[@Soulrc]

We used a custom carpet but we recommend concrete or hard surfaces over carpet now. The kerbing is made by Tetsujin in Japan.

[@EvolVillainRC]

I realize soul RC is no more but does anyone have details on their scenery pieces? I like how modular they are and easy to move around.

[@RCPACE]

They were made for us by a customer and are all MDF bases (thick, so heavy and not easily moved by crashes) with expanding foam, painted to look like rocks and grass and then hand -made road signs, fences etc. They were all donated to WRCC when we closed Soul RC, and then when WRCC closed they were donated to Drift Essex and are still going strong!

[@sparkmastermeow6926]

Hey mate, just wanted to say this vid is still a Huge help to this day. Much appreciated friend :)

[@killersushi99]

What kind of carpet is that? It special?

[@diclexicschweb4748]

Want to make a carpetrack with banked corners and a neeshe drop maby a jump too

[@bionicprism6893]

thank u Soul RC this has realy help me understand the flow of the track

[@shanemacdonald8019]

y is fine carpet a good thing for rc drifting?

[@Noah.bonte909]

I think so

[@Soulrc]

***** it's custom carpet we had made for us. It's essentially a hard felt with custom materials.

[@xXKWEWANXxGAMING_]

Is it like carpet tiles

[@ch3m1c]

"Hey guys, look we draw a dick with pimples on the paper" I was laughing as hell at start :D But thanks guys, it's very useful video! Thumbs up for sure ;)

[@sahilagrawal4255]

What company do you thing is great for cheap RC drift cars

[@og-bernard2273]

Nitrorcx

[@og-bernard2273]

Or get a Sakura d4

[@squidbra]

What kind of carpet is this? Is there a name for it?

[@mrboombastic9879]

I thought the vacuum was a piece of hair lol

[@DomV123]

Hey you where on the movie the outsiders on KZbin it was great

[@Mr_jz_12]

yeah

[@killersushi99]

RC Drift it gets the juices flowing.

[@gewizz2]

put bowls of rice on the corners

[@ShaneSeiber89]

What kind of line tape did you use

[@Soulrc]

I forget the brand but we found a masking tape at a local shop that worked well for our carpet. It's generally a case of trying a few and finding one that doesn't peel too easily but doesn't stick too hard for when you need to change layouts.

[@soopamango8484]

Hope the drift track was okay in the following video. If not please let me know what you would change: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaaToWqqfNmgq9k

[@hasnainbaqar9567]

[@my3sons386]

What is the type of carpet you use? That music 😩

[@Soulrc]

It was custom made for us

[@gadgetmantwincities]

Would laminate flooring work for a drift track? Also is carpet the best for drifting?

[@darwinaringo2toys976]

Where did you buy the fake grass and Tress ? And the Street line

[@yomekpiecemaker8764]

Funny to find out that after The Outsiders DVD, you are into RC Drifting ;)

[@harleypickin217]

I like this but someone needs to make a rally stage and rallycross stage

[@BMR3]

Wow great video, you guys have some amazing skill

[@chougleasif]

[@crazytuber7852]

[@scottmcdonald2335]

Hey

[@ryandodd19]

+soul Rc were did you get the trees an so on ?😁😁😁😁

[@Dom0315]

what is the overall track space? width and length of the area you laid down this track? any info will be appreciated.

[@RCPACE]

I may be remembering wrong, but I think it was 15x10.5m.

[@ryandodd19]

what length is your straight along the back

[@MidwestReefer]

Where do you get the turn barriers

[@ducky3884]

so you can just set something like this up in your basement? i always though you needed some kind of special flooring or specialized track.

[@LightGesture]

Concrete no problem

[@yendor187]

Where did you get the track layout stuff from?

[@Soulrc]

yendor187 We made it, or it was made for us by friends. The only items that you can purchase are the Tetsujin kerb system

[@Mr_jz_12]

Track layout update guys?

[@yipman214]

We're making a drifting game for iOS. Your inputs have been value-able.

[@Salty_reviews]

Link please

[@suhy9861]

[@suhy9861]

Not an r34 sorry its something else just saw headlights at end of video is it a 190e merc?

[@JamesSimpson83]

[@JamesSimpson83]

[@sergiotremblay4546]

Très belle voiture de drift

[@Papilon818]

Nice !

[@FadedPilotNW]

Awesome!

[@bobbybinkelburt5151]

Awesome video mitto! I have a question for you. How big is your track?

[@JamesSimpson83]

The track here at Soul RC is around 14x10m.

[@Osiris0925]

What kinda carpet are you running on?

[@JamesSimpson83]

It's a special carpet that we had manufactured for this track. It's unique, and very slippery!

[@Osiris0925]

I call bullshit lol. But high five!

[@JamesSimpson83]

It's really not BS, but I guess unless you come and see for yourself you won't believe me!

[@Osiris0925]

I live in Canada so me seeing it in person is unlikely and is a little bit of a drive haha. Where is the carpet ordered from?

[@marczewskimaciej]

@@JamesSimpson83 Just wondering where you guys ordered ypur carpet, I'm aware that track it's not going anymore but we are planning to open something permanent in Ireland and need some direction. Cheers.

[@billyharris8779]
