One thing about the "decent" toy grade cars. It's good to review them and find the gems because it's a way to get our kids into the hobby without spending a lot of dough. Sure for us purists they might "suck" but for a beginner, with no money, it might be the cat's a$$. It's like with motorcycles: "some" knock the young guy with the 25 yr old beat up ex500 and "not" a $40,000 harley or hayabusa but me? Good on you kid for riding. I'll give you the 2 finger wave everytime.

[@BigFatCone]

[@GOODUTTPPOILCE]

[@muskokamike127]

@@GOODUTTPPOILCE yeah, once you get your feet wet and learn some of the tricks of the trade, you can! Some, like the wltoys 144001, don't need that much, just a brushless motor and speed controller and it's GOLD. At $79 CDN (gone way up now) it was a gem. I bought one when I had the coof just to mess around with and I was impressed. (and I don't impress easily)

[@radunit4805]

Ok that "toy grade" drifter is unexpectedly good kudos to the company that made it!

[@Boogie_the_cat]

It is. I bought 2 for my niece and nephew, and I had to make sure they worked because Christmas is over a month away and return policy.... They are a lot of fun. Toy grade or not, the full proportional steering and throttle and good gyro, lights (kids love lights) etc...

Great review Phil! Thanks! Just ordered the new LDRC RX7 in Charcoal and can’t wait for it to arrive. Definitely worth getting the LDRC over the other one.

[@Deadend_fb_russell]

Modding that miata with a Dasmikro V5 gyro makes a massive difference. It is my favourite car now. And I have many RC cars.

[@alxgu198]

Sounded like it’s the inner edge of the rear wheel grabbing the carpet Phil, maybe sand or file the sharp edge off?

[@TomleyRC]

Maybe yes

[@hardtobearit]

also with the LDRC you have to remove the inner wheel well for better turn radius on them. and make sure the front end suspension isnt binding

[@kelevra558]

If you want a more scale feel and look with your r/c drift car, add weight. I built a 1:5 scale drift car. Yes it's TOTALLY badass. It has a gen2 boss 302 body that resembles a 70s trans am car. Big flares, louvers and shit it's rad. Anyway that car weighs a lot. You wouldn't believe me if I told you so i won't. Just know it behaves EXACTLY and I mean EXACTLY like a real car. It's unbelievably good. Angle is another huge mandatory thing. I was able to get 80 degrees of angle and I converted it from all wheel drive. It runs on a 12s brushm hobby wing system

[@calvinwolf7107]

Im personally working on a X01 and have about 65° of steering with the current edits I've done but has lot of room for more, In its current setup it drifts so well I was actually blown away for what it is and honestly I hate to say it but I almost enjoyed it more than my Sakura d5 Mr Ive been hoping the larger scales would be seeing some of the love from the rwd drift community and that we'd get a chassis, I'm hoping to make a couple videos to show how simple it was to convert Rwd and just how nicely they slide (Hoping it helps kick start a hobby grade large scale Rwd chassis from a reputable company)

[@PerformanceFestiva]

Surpass/ Rocket sells a version of that esc for things like the miniZ. It's the "Pro28" version. I am running a mini B off it. More program options than the crawler version. Cheers on another awesome video!

[@milksheihk]

4:34 the bodyshell with the windows just moulded in black is sub-toy grade, maybe more like a novelty soap dish cover.

Those ldrc drifters are pretty ok.. I've got the RX-7 the nsx and the gtr/r34 diecast... With very little tuning they're a lot of fun

[@CaptainRCofficial]

so cute ~ and really nice drifting

[@RC-Closer1313]

That one was great too Phil

[@timb508]

The drag brake issue, couldn’t you dial up the throttle center position so it crawls forward on neutral transmitter, thus eliminating the brake?

[@TomleyRC]

Good idea, I didn't think about doing that

[@garykee1]

great review Phil! was wondering about the longevity of those tiny motors screaming at high rpm's while drifting constantly and if you have ever had one burn up or wear out because of that situation. cheers! see you in the next vid!

[@MooseRidez]

One day, grab a dasmikro v5 Gyro and then turn the stock gyro off the ldrc. Its legit on par with a larger 1/10 scale car

[@WellingtonIronman]

Can you try setting the throttle trim on your brushless drift car so it’s constantly turning forwards at a very low speed? It should defeat the drag brake.

[@stabiel82]

[@Stoabie14]

Tomley, I love your videos but you really need to do RC drift cars justice. Rc drift is my preferred avenue, and I fully believe once you drive a properly sorted RC drift car you may have a new perspective on it, seeing either of these cars drive isn't quite right. (I'm not from the UK but if you want the utmost experience, Slide House is the way to go, I'd love to see your experience with some full tilt stuff and seeing what cheap options get close!) Keep up the great videos!

[@michaellum165]

I have a red cat ascend 18th scale and it a single speed transmission and it has a drag break but if I turn up the throttle trim even just a little bit it disables the drag break it still will stop if u don't turn up the throttle trim up to much but worse case it keeps rolling slightly Let me know if it works on that new brushless system you put in that drift car my name is Micheal and I watch your channel way more than Kevin taybolts channel and thank you for your channel I was going through some s**t and my new rc hobby keeps my mind busy from all the crap I've been and going thru .

[@njdewit]

2WDs are harder to control, but more fun imho.

[@peterdering4922]

Regarding the drag brake on the brushless upgrade, they usually only work in only one direction. could you reverse the motor direction so that reverse is forward and then swap two motor wires to get the car back to forward motion.

Hi Phil. I hope you don't mind but I have a question that's off topic and I thought you'd see it quicker if I left it on this video. How are you finding your Cyrusher Ovia eBike after a year. I want an eBike and because of my health a step thru is my preference and the Ovia, Kommodo or Engwe L20 are the front runners at the moment. Any feedback would be very helpful. Thanks mate. Derek 😉👍🏼

[@TomleyRC]

Hello mate. I sold it a while back, but not due to any issues... I just didn't ride it much and when I did, I didn't trust the crazy drivers around my way. It's a great bike, although a little heavy and cumbersome to manoeuvre. I think there are some lighter options out there that would be better, although I can't say how good they are. Good to hear from you and hope that helps

[@hollyhillrc]

@@TomleyRC Yes I've read that the weight of these bikes could be an issue and I've seen that the twin forks on the Ovia and Kommodo limits the turning circle.

If you could figure out how to tune that brushless, the drag brake would work like an e brake and get the rear to swing out on coarse surfaces just like in the real drift cars. Oh, and yes, set up your drift track proper, like a big oval with sweeping corners.

[@damianwilliams2341]

Check out the channel Apex RC Garage. He improved the performance of the NSX with a better cheap gyro and cutting excess plastic from the molded parts. He also worked on the other models as well, each having their own differences, and was still able to improve their performance.
