Check out this epic Pocket Drift Pandem BRZ! Made from a cheap $10 adventure force RC, this thing pushes its limits. I managed to get full time working headlights and taillights, wide angle steering, and driftworthy power from the rear!

A custom RC Bronco would make a nice addition to your collection

[@watchcityknives]

Probably the most realistic drift I’ve ever seen

[@deftknight7418]

Dude! How is this hobby not mainstream! Love the content. Side note, Not a profetional tuner, but I don't think you want so much to out (10:08 for reference). For refernce, toe is the angle that the tires point at if you draw a line from the middle to the most forward part (if it's right side up) of the tire. Toe out IS good in most cases, (makes the car like going straight, but also causes the tire on the inside of a turning circle to drag) but that's a crazy amount. 12 degrees as a really crappy guess? The stuff I tune in racing games normally has maybe around one degree? Again, really rough. now, you said you shortend the steering rack to get more angle, which isn't stupid by any means, it works, but it causes this excessive toe effect. If you like how they feel regaurdless, great, I can imagine why, but I think there is a better shape for your rack that will allow you to run whatever toe angle you want and get as much angle as you want. I would suggest running a U-shape. Go up of the connecting pins like you would normally, but then go rear-ward on both sides for a little bit, it doesn't need to be crazy, then across. if you need to hook it to a servo thats right inbeteween the front wheels, then make more of a W-shape to go in and meet it. I have no clue if this would be really hard or not, because of the scale, but with the shapes I've seen you make for this, It should be terrable. If you want ideas on how to get more toe, or steering angle, shorter side to side length gives you more toe, longer front to rear should give it more angle.

[@TLSGarage]

The excessive toe out is a necessity on this in order to get an electromagnet steering setup to have enough angle to pull out of a drift. Check out my AE86 build if you want to see something more realistic💯

[@deftknight7418]

@@TLSGarage, That makes sense. I guess the strength of just magnets isn't strong enough. Also, I just didn't know your knowlagability on this, so that's why I explained it so heavily. Sorry if it felt rude, just suggestions.

[@TLSGarage]

@@deftknight7418 nah I didnt think it was rude, I appreciate it bro! I was just stressing how hard it is to get this crappy RC to make a wide turn without having massive toe out like that 😂

Comments like yours are what got me in to the technical side of computers more than 20 years ago, albeit on forums rather than KZbin comments, but the same concept applies. Hell, even someone like me who knows a little about the various aspects of steering found your comment interesting. You may have even given me some insights for my current DT-02 project, where I'd like to use parts that Tamiya never intended. I may need to make some serious modifications to how this chassis does steering.

[@a.w.5682]

8:00 actually having that bar shorter will cause the front wheels to toe out. The little corner pipes attaching that bar to the wheels (or better yet, the setting of the motor, maybe have an extra gear that’s a different size) is what you change. Do not change that specific bar. It’s too small of a scale to get the toe just right. For those of you who don’t know what toe is, it’s how much the tires are pointing outwards on a horizontal plane. Toe out means the front of the wheels will point out and toe in is the opposite.
