The car looks so good! Would be great if they included magnetic body mounts in the kit.

[@danielbaugher1798]

magnet mounts suck you spend half our time chasing the body around.

[@RACEABLE]

Professional presentation as it gets..to the point.. Great job mate as always!

[@ChasinTailTampaBay]

Took forever to get mine but it was worth the wait lol. I got the 2.5 brushless with the R32 body and it looks amazing. Looks even better after I added a light kit.

[@stephenpheonix6549]

Got mine two months ago and absolutely love it! Same as this video and it drover perfectly straight out of the box! Since have done some upgrade and first thing was the shocks! Wait until you put the new MST Drift Shocks, it makes such a huge difference to the steering response. Love it!

[@kylevogler6863]

Pre-ordered mine in December it arrived in July. Runs great

[@julianorozco761]

Saludos Amigo este bm se ve muy bien , me encantan estos autos ,muchas gracias desde Panama

[@ReadySetRC]

That is a solid RTR drifter. Going to have to put it on the wish list for sure👍

[@beeawesome7140]

RC drift is great fun, love the 2.5!

[@but531]

Very beautiful body and the rims also look real, very good job from MST. I liked it immediately when i saw it, few seconds was enough to loved it.

[@aut0bahn]

I built two of these bodies for my TB04R and TA05 V2….it’s so amazing and actually has great aero at high speeds. The issue is getting the wheels on standard 190mm touring car our far enough to fill the arches. It’s possible!

[@adventurefixn]

Just food for thought, you should probably mention that the wheels MST photographs on their RTR’s and the aggressive perfect fitment shown on the boxes is often not what is included in the box. My blue Toyota 86 RTR came with red chrome horrible fitting wheels 😂.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Oh wow, you're right; I didn't realize that. -Brett

[@juggie19]

Looked at some older vids and i think this guy is hitting the gym

[@importkidd]

Me n my brothers just picked some up at local hobby shop 💯🔥

[@skardy8_fpvakabradlee881]

Oh dam that’s so sick! I believe there’s one at the rc shop in my town have to get one! I want to fpv it so bad lol

[@SeanLewisMedia]

The RMX 2.5 is an awesome starter car!

[@fffogg]

​ @AMain_Hobbies. Thanks for the info on the back order situation. I have just been waiting and waiting on a restock, it looks like that will never happen. I'll sign up for the back order request to hopefully reserve an R34. Does that process require a payment in advance? Also, on your 2.0 car, what wheels and tires are those, the gold 5 stars with the polished lip. Thank you.

[@TURBOMOOSE]

Patiently waiting lmao 🤣 cant wait to get it

[@igori7877]

Main point in 2.5 is gearbox with straight gears (yokomo style). Other important thing - updated gyro.

[@BigHoTzMuZik]

Changing the gyro was a huge game changer for me.

[@beeawesome7140]

I bought one of the Yokomo kits from Japan and hopped it up with all the aluminum. Such a good drifterer.

[@silentmonster_425]

finally ❤

[@Blasterandblade23]

I just ordered the brushless version and I can't wait to test it! Anyway, I forgot to order battery so any recommendation for battery to use?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Congrats! For a battery, we used this one: www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc-drag-race-2s-120c-sigraphene-shorty-lipo-battery-7.4v-5500mah-ptk-5132-21/p1275497 You'll need a wire lead with a t-style connector on it to work. This battery already has the lead and is much less expensive, but has lower capacity (should still last a good while though): www.amainhobbies.com/reedy-wolfpack-2s-hard-case-shorty-30c-lipo-battery-7.4v-3000mah-asc758/p945353 -Brett

[@spenn2007]

I hope these talented folks at MTS develop an on-road performance RC. Nothing against the drift enthusiast.

[@Mr_jz_12]

MST. MTS are a different company.

[@MZBallistic]

I think the 2.5 has a better trans also .

[@RCCinematic]

We call that a…PAPER LAUNCH. No way that thing is “pre-order” when it came out MONTHS AGO!!

[@damienlua530]

Chico Store has the BMW and brz in stock don't sleep on them

[@yaduconodosor3834]

Could u do the traxxas stampede or bandit vxl?

[@hondafreak8613]

Is brushless motor worth the extra money vs brushed. Is there difference in speed or control?

[@tomasjosiah]

My local track has them in stock

[@146sm5]

Bro has lost weight, looks good 👍🏻

[@G-J-92]

Just bought this in canada for 600 CAD lol can you please list all the items you used on this build like the megnatic mounts and battery setup. Thank you!!

[@Bl4keBelladonna]

it could definitly neeed a bit more power , motor sounded really strained :D

[@FarmerFpv]

The body looks sick! That thing is slammed low like my real Alpha Romeo. The only annoying thing is going up and down curves at the gas stations so I keep gas at home to fill my car that I hardly drive, lol.

[@workingclassperson2124]

Beemers look cool but so much cooler in RC imo

[@toolbaggers]

The sound of the falling pins is satisfying. 🎳

[@CaliCoastRCFPV]

Is that drone footage at the end on the drift track?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

No, our guy Oscar running after the car with a GoPro on a stick. Did you like it? That's what he was going for. -Brett

[@CaliCoastRCFPV]

@@AMain_Hobbies I could get cool footage like that with my mobula 6 HD micro drone

[@jbrc1322]

I had this car on preorder from last December, but lost all hope a few months later and cancelled.

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

No link to the body mounts used?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Sorry, forget them; here is the kit: www.amainhobbies.com/scale-reflex-gorilla-mounts-magnetic-body-mount-kit-black-srf888100/p978170 Any washers will work, but if you need some: www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc-aluminum-ball-stud-washer-set-black-12-0.5mm-1.0mm-2.0mm-ptk-8370/p456783 -Brett

[@Cry4MeLefty]

I would be curious to know how many losses in sales MST has taken because people can't buy these anywhere. I'm looking to buy a drift car, and this would be a good one, but I'm not waiting 4 months for one.

[@Blasterandblade23]

Hope they selling the pre-painted body shell alone

[@stevejackson3564]

How does the jyro effect & help the car.

[@djmandrick]

automatic countersteer

[@Bluecuban71]

Sounds like sum other rc's you still can't get 😡🤬🤬💯💯

[@billyhollis5738]

We have 6 at Victory Hobbies in Bellevue, Ne.. 2 Supra’s 2 mustangs, 1 BMW and a skyline… call and buy 1…

[@bmwbandit86]

lies, hobbytown has em in stock in store locally. so be sure to search your local stock!

[@gaeljehnno]

Look realy cool, to bad here in france the name mst as the same meaning them std in english.

[@workingclassperson2124]

1000’th like!

[@alankowalski8781]

What’s that giant car in the middle of the drift track?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

That's an Arrma Limitless with a custom painted body. -Brett

[@alankowalski8781]

@@AMain_Hobbies it looks a lot bigger than a limitless in the video, like a 1/5 scale, but that’s cool, thank you for replying.

[@Demolishor17]

poor cameraman 😂

[@JThelen1031]

Car definitely looks fantastic as well as seeming like a blast to drive if you have a track handy like that. I do have a question about something else I noticed in the video; what's the green body on that truck you guys have on a trailer on the drift track?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I think its a custom Element RC Ecto body: www.amainhobbies.com/element-rc-enduro-ecto-black-trail-truck-4x4-rtr-rock-crawler-asc40122/p1481278 It may be an Ecto chassis too, not sure. -Brett

[@StickAction-mn7uu]

Is it rear wheel drive?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yes sir, RWD. -Brett

[@RCMannYesMate]

Weak points - Servo (weak and will be lucky to get 30 mins play time) first light knock and it’s toast ! Plastic gear special. Motor & ESC lack any real punch not great on carpet out the box. Camber/toe setting very limited.

[@tennijoseph-jm8hj]

Is this metal body?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

No, it's Lexan, also known as Poloycarbonate. -Brett

[@tennijoseph-jm8hj]

Oh nice looks like a solid built.

[@stevenmillar8810]

need more light bro on the wide shots

[@diego.hh14]

they have this at my local hobby shop wtf??

[@AMain_Hobbies]

That's awesome, you should get it if you want one; we can't keep them in stock sadly. -Brett

[@spoopdiewoopdie8092]

Yeah if only they were available to buy lol

[@raptorjohn4382]

Man, he sounds tired

[@michaelmooney6245]

I thought the same thing, hope he's doing ok.

[@raptorjohn4382]

@@michaelmooney6245 yeah me too

[@joecole2318]

It seems unpowered to me.

Most of the RTR's are to be fair.

Wow if u thought the real thing was dumb lol

[@luisfontanez1770]

Easy on the opioids..eyes give it away 😞

[@Mr_jz_12]

Yokomo RTR > MST.

[@SeanLewisMedia]

The MST is more sorted and better running from factory, but the Yokomo is far more upgradable and better for tuning for sure! I converted mine to a shark and its dialed!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

We'll find out soon enough. One is on the way. -Brett

[@mykalmarsh1550]

The thing sucks it’s cheap

[@SevilKoops]

What is the deal with American RC youtubers and flat caps? Come on guys, you ain't 12 anymore.

[@deltazero3796]

Drift...naaah.

[@Unicornballs69]

What there’s plenty for sale and lee where.

[@uroprop]

Do a btcc box Volvo drift car to be different

[@miguelkaka1889]

I honestly will never buy a MST ever again worst customer service worst with keeping after market parts on the market can’t even find their cars especially if your looking for a specific one so many better drift companies

[@uroprop]

E30 is a tuner classic not a drifter but love it

[@crashtestdummy27]

Until values rocketed in the last 5 years the e30 325i in the UK was the drifters choice! You can't include the e30 M3 as that's in another league sharing only the bonnet (hood) with a standard one hence their crazy values. I've owned a 325i sport over 10 years now and it's gone sideways most times it was driven 😎

[@dirtberger4533]

Looking forward to a real drift RC car. It's on my punch list.
