[Review] Firelap IW05 - 1/28 4WD Touring/Drift Car

Time stamps Package Content: 0:16 Chassis: 1:12 How to strap battery down with rubber band: 2:00 Chassis (cont. to suspension): 2:31 Electronics: 4:55 Body: 6:27 Problems & how to fix: 7:26 Test Drive: 9:24 Test Drift: 10:14 Final verdict & conclusion: 11:02

[@Mini-z1994]

Perhaps ordering a new chassis could solve most of the issues with the uneven wheel balance along with small 0.2 mm shims here & there too tighten the slop down in the suspension ? And yeah its quite flawed, the electronics might be good too put in a rolling q7 chassis though if you can find one as it does have a lipo cutoff.

[@BeaversHobby]

@@Mini-z1994 I think so. Chassis is now straight after I rebuild the centre plate. The problem comes mostly from suspension arms and knuckles so with whole suspension rebuild by filing and adding shims should take the slag off. Still, shocks are not as smooth as you would think despite them being alloy. Oh, and putting the electronics in other chassis is also exactly what I think would be the best use. Putting them in Q7 will make a fantastic compact car with compact transmitter for extreme portability. Come to think of it Firelap should sell 2-in-1 with Transmitter separately so we can put that in other car without buying a whole IW05 with slim chance of working.

I'm not a beginner in rc driving, I know how to drift it and I'm quite good at it, but I need a 1:28 drift chassis that is cheap and i don't have to fix a lot and I can't spend a lot of money on it, so, is this chassis good for me? If no, can you give me the link to a -50 euros 1:28 chassis? Thanks.

[@BeaversHobby]

Avoid this IW05 or any Firelap in general. At around 50 Euros the only choice is WLtoys K969. bit.ly/2znqnbb Of course you'll have to do some fixing but it's not a lot. I have a series dedicated to that chassis and you only need first 2 stages. The series is labelled for touring car but it's the same car as K969, just different differential and tyres. K969 has locked diff and drift tyres out of the box. kzbin.info/aero/PLS79G3YjA2fAEez9GVeLW3JIy_LUIb6Mb

[@claassenmade7539]

Hey Beaver I noticed many cars at this scale will drift well one way but not the other! do you know why this is?

[@BeaversHobby]

From my experience it's mostly from weight bias. But the diff also has some role in this.

[@taylorharrison8765]

does this come with the lipo battery?

[@BeaversHobby]

No, this one doesn't come with a battery.

[@ivakanoffsnyder4501]

One or two of my peer was actually invented that weird motor placement for chinese 1/28 RC. Early prototype model is a handmade from scratch, built from brown PCB board and some power glue. Even suspension parts were made from ballpoint scrap and cotton buds. With unknown hours of adjusting, it was drift nicely...Even better than any stock models from Kyosho and Atomic at the times. Years later, he/them collaborating with Atomic team in HK, then make similiar prototype from atomic DRZ/AMZ. To my suprise that Firelap might be the first one to make that design mass produced. From your review, for me it's obvious that it needs better ball joints (Atomic or any micro heli rc). Each slack on ball joint would add the wobbling. Curled chassis is a huge flaw, since it designed to be flat and rigid for whatever material was used. Firelap's plastic also known for being brittle (early mini Q model), so I highly doubt they'll doing better in this complex configuration/ design. They should stick at Mini Z or takara tomy's Drift design for make it works. Thanks for your reviews btw, that's cool.

[@BeaversHobby]

Thank you for your insight. It's really unfortunate the car turned out this way. I saw the prototype render of this car and thought, OK, that was inventive of them to do something like this. The final product could have been be good if it had better quality and standard diff placement.

[@ivakanoffsnyder4501]

@@BeaversHobby Also, the prototype is a RWD with gyro. Firelap seems experimenting AWD configuration for cutting cost of gyro setup.

[@BeaversHobby]

@@ivakanoffsnyder4501 Now the gearbox makes sense.

[@ivakanoffsnyder4501]

Ah, that you mention it, I just remember the most important point from this gearing configuration (for RWD version). Final gear (that directly spin cup joints and wheels) must be aligned to center, thus giving most balanced L/R wheel torque possible. It might also a necessity to reinforce the motor mount. I've seen extreme modification on this only part as far as using Aluminium slab, or even customized CNC part. If you cheap ass (like me) power gluing the plastic motor mount with a layer (or more) of FRP might works too. *Tips: applying pressure/ clamping in drying process would dramatically increase bonding strenght and rigidity. Just let it sit undisturbed (while clamped) for several hours, until it dries. You'll get better weight distribution by placing 2S battery near the raised motor, across chassis. So that's it...The real beauty of these weird gearbox is the ease to configure desired gear ratio/ final wheel rpm and balanced wheel torque on rear. The rest is chassis alignment (a.k.a fixing the "wobble). At this tiny scale of moving objects, even a smallest detrimental change could greatly affect overall drifting performance. So good luck for your next build :)

Thank you so much for your guide. I'll be sure to follow it when I fix or mod this car.

Most of stuffs with 98mm wheelbase will fit. I suggest Mini-Z narrow 98mm body like the FWD series and the new Subaru Impreza. Not every 98mm body fit because I have Mini-Z Lexus SC430 GT500 and that doesn't fit due to motor position and shock mount.

Heads up: droop screws are not for adjusting ride height. The reason the tires don't evenly touch the ground is probably due to uneven droop settings.

[@BeaversHobby]

The suspension arms on this car don't just move up and down, it can twist and get stuck too. That's where this problem comes from. I have given on up on this car. BTW, I'm not sure if you are familiar with this scale of car (especially the cheap ones) but most of them rely on droop screw to adjust the ride height as most of them always got the shocks fully extend to full droop all the time.

So it's junk then.. Is it best to get the alloy mini q and build your own.. Or get the sinohobby rtr brushless..??

Best choice right now that won't break your bank is to build the Atomic AMZ. Here's my review. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2itpKpufrxgsLs Mini-Q metal chassis is pretty OK but not as good as Q7. You can get Q7 brushless and add your own transmitter. Then you need to replace swing shafts and wheels because stock swing shafts are plastic and stock wheels rub the suspension.

Outstanding review. Thank you. New subscriber. Which 1/28 RC car like this has the best upgrade path?

[@BeaversHobby]

Kyosho Mini-Z is the one with the most upgrades (because it needs to). It's the origin of these cars and why 1/28 gains so much cult following too. I only have a review for RWD version (not for drifting) right now, will to AWD version later. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqWZanWjgKmIosU However if you want a kit car to build then GL Racing GLA and GLR are the most race ready cars right now. The performance is great and you can use any transmitter you want. These cars don't need upgrades though, they come as upgraded or top-spec already. For entry level or GLA you can look at Atomic AMZ, I also have review for that it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2itpKpufrxgsLs Mini-Q Q7 also got very good performance and you don't really have to upgrade it much. Upgrade path is short but effective, so to speak. Here's my drift setup explaining all the upgrades. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXTNmJ-Lo711h7c

Losi is very popular in your area, I presume. It looks like a good car indeed. Unfortunately it's not in my area of expertise. As of today this one costs 81 USD and it would be good if it drifts to the left as well without suspension problem. You can get a much better car than this for less as I mentioned in the video. Also if you are interested in drifting you can browse my channel for 1/28 (Mini-Z size) cars. I think you will find many videos to help you start micro drifting.

WLtoys is a better car than this. I'm actually surprised because on paper IW05 looked so amazing. By the way, which body did you buy?

I bought two cars and yes it is disappointed, they are not good quality as mini z. Don’t waste your money, stick with Kyosho Mini z they are well made

[@maskpsychoses4761]

Way to much money for a car you have to fix right out of the box... If it's going to be that crappy...then sell it in a kit form and some people might be able to fix it during the build .

Great review, poor build quality. Too bad so much slop.

[@admiralisshobattousai2806]

Thank you banggood for providing a low quality product that can waste any customers money..buy kyosho Miniz if you want your money worth.

[@BeaversHobby]

Generally anything else but Firelap stuffs is good. Not that they are known for high quality with reasonably priced product in the first place but they seem to drop the standard lately. IW04M re-release has crap electronics, IW05 has crap chassis. Anyway, WLtoys K989 and Mini-Q Q2 provide the best value for money, Mini-Q Q7 is fantastic.

ผมเห็นตำแหน่งกับจุดยึดมอเตอร์ก็เครียดแล้วครับ

[@jbl9326]

Wow what a review...This car is really messed up. I was about to get 1 just to match up with my WLTOYS... I'm a lazy person & love plug & play, so in this case... No thanks.

[@CITIZEN_X_416]

That car look sloppy. All the suspension components are moving all over the place.

[@BeaversHobby]

It's the worst car I've ever had.
