I CAN NOT BELIEVE TRAXXAS MADE THIS NEW RC CAR | Traxxas 4Tec Drift

[@rokyle2323]

I'm really glad you showed the actual steering angle. The inside tire is getting really close to 90° of steering just like a proper two-wheel drive drift car. So I think this more beginner friendly drift chassis is going to be able to get people in the door and carry them through at least for a while until they can get a more competition level car if that's the path that they choose

[@JerryStory-h8q]

I commented on a video by Roadside RC and I'll repeat it here: I can't wait for the aftermarket to put out some accessories to make this car even better. Great video Mark and I know you will dig more into this one!

[@jq5890]

Nice one, great to see content back on drifting, salamat Mark :)

[@itzzgraham]

I hope they make the steering angle a kit that you can buy and toss on the 4tec. Kinda a let down that they didn’t use the 3s system in it, I love drifting my 4tec 2.0 VXL all it’s missing is some more angle

[@ToxMod]

My very first RC was a Car and I put it in the dirt, then mud. Its just more fun. Like to admire drifting though 👍🏻

[@dankosh]

This will pair well wtih the GT I bought 2 weeks ago! Thanks Traxxas!

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

This'll be great for beginners wanting to join the fray, and brushed motor, lipo battery combo will give you enough power and oodles of run time. The only downside is you're anchored to a mid motor configuration, and the 60 degree steering angle. If its price competitively, its a great start.

[@well6112]

At least for now, the MSRP is higher than yokomo and MST RTRs... Electronics wise there's not too much difference but those chassis are race proven fully upgradeable to high end specs. One thing to consider is that the traxxas car has a more refined driver-aid system that includes steering and throttle assistance, spinout active prevention and drag brake instead of just the gyro assisted steering used by everyone else

[@JamesBond-hz2tn]

Great footage in the warehouse looks fun 👌

[@chrisfraser1806]

New car day yay

[@rongrandt7960]

The fun is when you tandem with another drift car. Cat and mouse, stay in proximity with each other and no passing. Come down to The Hobby Shop in Leander and we'll get you sliding like a pro.

[@UnrivaledPiercer]

Probably a few parts I might snag to put on my 4WD version in time, but as a 2WD drift, they missed the mark again. 60 degree angle is barely enough to qualify as a drift car, however for some people this will be a better overall "driving" car if they want a more realistic 2WD feel. I feel like Traxxas pays attention, but just doesn't "listen" if you know what I mean. They knew they needed a proper drift car, but then did the wrong things to do it, It's the Mudboss all over again. Come on Traxxas, you can do better.

[@thizzobishi]

What did the modified do wrong. I've seen plenty of people say it's quickly becoming the biggest class an tracks. I think just limits the steering angle is the traxxas servo everything else seem pretty dang legit for 320.

[@NathanStorer-RC]

Also, having the brushed motor rather than the BL-2S system was a bit of a letdown

[@Lokithefeline]

4wd is better and more challenging....i'd grab tyres for my vette. while this body is cool. im not sure id bust a few hundos for it yet. mark isnt selling it very well. slacker.

[@NathanStorer-RC]

@@Lokithefeline the vast majority of drift tracks won't let you use 4wd. If you're just bashing outside, 4wd is fine.

[@james654100]

Traxxas doesn't really make competitive models. More like entry RC cars. I think this is more of a beginner/General drift RC. Not something you would take to a competition. Same goes with their SCT's and some bashers.

[@dylanwhite6539]

Saw it on the site first surprisingly

[@charlesford485]

This was smart. They needed a drift car. Shouldve had the 2s system tho for sure. Then again im sure there are plenty of people who will appreciate the slower pace, simple batteries, scale track stuff, and the look. Looks good. Keep you spending for the people who want more power. I get it.

[@HisXLNC]

​@@Hungrybird474I will give that shot 💯 thanks 👍👍

[@rustyscrewsrc]

Nice vid! May need to pick one up!

[@patricklavoie8719]

When drifting, first thing you gotta do is get the right tires for your surface. This is super important!

[@well6112]

Everyone seems to complain about the price considering it comes only with a brushed setup. The truth is you don't need that much power to drift a 2wd setup. In my opinion the biggest point that's being overlooked is that tweaked TSM this car comes with. Instead of your traditional gyro assisted steering, this thing also has throttle assistance, spinout active prevention and drag brake. I'm no pro drifter but I'm pretty sure you can drift decently even a Tamiya hornet with that level of drive-aids

[@Lokithefeline]

update, i need this car

[@Revelation1177]

They need to release more nitro

[@Donsalaskanrcadventure]

yup

[@blindluckproject1217]

We love rc drifting! much harder than it the skilled drifters make it look. Wonder how it would do at a drift track compared to the other RTR options. Hard core drift kits can get expensive quick.

I was literally having this convo at my LHS a couple weeks ago, dude said his bet was on AE to do it first. I think he was right, traxxas looks like they tossed this together overnight to counter the (far superior) AE chassis.

[@MANIANes]

Great video, proper info. I do not agree only with one sentence... 8:42 TSM DRIFT mode is not for beginners, it's rather for casuals because beginner is someone who just start adventure with RC drifting but does think about gettin better. In TSM DRIFT mode you're not learning anything with each ride in my opinion...

[@311DaytoDay]

Now they just need a Datsun 240z as well as the Nissan 350/370z body styles!

[@Revelation1177]

Think traxxas will make a nitro version?

[@speedgears1236]

That would be great

[@arnoldamoranto7250]

Correction drifting is all about the counter steer. Point the wheels where you want to go. Out to keep sliding out. Turn in to bring it in and around all while throttle control.

[@erikdunbar4451]

I was so excited and then I saw you run it. That is so slow. No way. I can drift around in my normal 4 tec vxl in a more fun way than that.

[@jamesgeorge2852]

Rediculous....... 506.99 CAD for a brushed car that's essentially something they could have sold as a conversion kit for the 4 Tec 4wd for a few bucks more you can get a MST brushless rmx 2.5 and for 50.00 less you can get the brushed version from a company who knows what it takes to build a quality drift chassis
