The other comment. You need to make sure you get the sensored G2 version. I bought the unsensored by accident. It does not have boost or timing. The box doesn’t say unsensored, it just doesn’t call out sensored. Big mistake

The esc i had years ago lacled alot of tuning. This ESC is pretty good in my eyes with little to compare too in my experience. I do so much tuning on this esc that my throttle cables ripped off and had to solder them back. I would love a high end esc for more tuning options but im content. Ill buy higher end equipment when i upgrade my chassis to something classy..slowly getting my sakura d5 chassis to handle how i want it now and the chassis squats and lifts a good amout fpr my taste .Honestly like how you need to do so much tuning for it to slide right. Besides buying adjustable front and rear arms and front and rear knuckles, i snagged a last instock d5 swing arm absorber for the front shocks that replace the shock tower. Hopefully its comes in today to do more tuning. Im an asphalt drifter

Also will esc based turbo/ boost work on any sensored motor, i.e., one with fixed motor timing? My last question relates to throttle curve on the transmitter, can turbo/boost effect be applied via the throttle curve? Thanks, love your channel ❤.

@RoadsideRC3 ай бұрын
@hyperc5249 Between those - I would 100% suggest you stick with the Yokomo or Redcat. The Redcat will be very solid straight out of the box - and not cost you a lot in upgrades. Yokomo will benefit from more upgrades, but will also have a higher final performance ceiling as well. Instead of the RD kit from Yokomo, if you go straight to the SD, it will have a lot of the good parts on it already. Food for thought.

@autofctrl2 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for all the videos regarding Drift-setups, testing and comparing different components. I'm just about to purchase my first RC-Drift car and was already at 800€ when I thought... well... that's a little too much in case I don't really use it that much or can't even tell the difference due to lack of knowledge/skills. So I will start with a cheaper (but still working) setup, probably spend "like you said" more on a gyro or directly get the DP 302 V4 (if that is compatible) and start from there. I'm usually one of those who say, "who buys cheap - buys twice" and this will still hold true, but I'm also very incapable of making decisions. The more options I have, being it buying something or tuning, the more frustrated I get. So the less tuning options there are at the beginning the more I will actually drive and not tinker. Still not sure about the motor though... You said in one video that it does not actually matter getting a 10.5 or 13.5 as you still habe the gears for adjustment. I'll probably get the 13.5 and some gears because either way - its for drifting and not high-speed.
