Maddrift

I bet thatbSht looks a beast when drifting with 1/10 scale cars

[zerodameaon]

It is an Exceed, that is rental level stuff right there, that and since it is pretty much the only product in that size there is no aftermarket for them. What you buy is what you get.

[Felipe]

Theres always ways to customise anything lol

[zerodameaon]

True, my Sprint 2 has a few one off things done to it but its not stuff like scratch built hubs or aluminum arms, diffs, etc. If you want 1/8 scale drifting you are probably better off buying one of the 1/8 scale rally cars and converting it.

I just went to invisible body mounts and was getting tired of the velcro not holding the body on so I bought some of the scotch heavy duty dual lock velcro with the mushroom shaped hooks. Stuff was a very bad idea at first because it would not release the body without a crazy amount of force. If anyone decides to try it I suggest you stick the two pieces together a few times before mounting them to the body/car to loosen them up.

I rock a yokomo DIB!! I need a new body though I'll post some pics when I get home. Anybody ever check out banzaihobbies.com?? They sell stuff like straight outta japan or hong kong, but they charge like 60 bucks to ship stuff. It's a pain in the butt

Im gonna have to cut the springs lol im sure the after market parts for rally are well compatible

I always feel like that sht is going rip the paint right off with the heavy duty stuff.

What about them plastic clips that snap on, has anyone tried them?

Simple but great tip. Im in the process of putting stealth mounts on my drifter

[crzsteveo]

stealth mounts suck. especially Velcro when you drift with other people cuz that shit always pops off.

Thats what i hear from every one who has gone that route.

[zerodameaon]

This stuff is not going to come off without a really good bump, and it would need to be in the upward direction. I lost steering the other day(range issue) and smacked flat out into a pillar and the body stayed on.

This is the stuff.


Also I learned earlier that the 1/8 drifter can be converted to a SCT and may handle better than other SCTs.

[Felipe]

Having it covert to sct might be + when drifting is not available...

Where did find this out

[zerodameaon]

Friend told me about seeing it done then I went and found this video. From what he said they handle better than the exceed SCT.



SCT


Mad Drift

[Wake]

hey felipe i already have 2 more sd chassis. lol

oh and my gf smashed phone so i lost your number.

[Felipe]

I see alot of parts that can be swapped... Even the mount post can be fliped to fit either shell


Why did she do that? lol
Dont be making her mad bro.....

"She hulk smash phone... She hulk smash Little car next!,, aaarrrrrrrrr "lol

[TheRealSy90]

Wow I don't think I could ever drive an SCT that consistently...

[Felipe]

Looks kinda stiff, but im sure that can be fixed.

[Felipe]

Looking at all the mad drift videos, the drift suspension is all over the place and some even rub with that monster wheel gap that can fit a whole 1/18 rc in there lol...way to loose, but i know its because sct suspension.

Shit is gonna be hard to fit/find decent bodies :0/

But o was able to find one that hit 65mph :0)

Put revo gears on it only runs about 60 but easier to handle lol if you blow the 3.3 get a 2.5r. Port match it and port and polish the intake and lighten the crank. I raced these in 1/10th had about 1600 in spare parts and what not.. also get rpm aarms and bumpers they are cheap and do not break they also have a lifetime waranty. dont get anything except the gear housing spindles and the top and bottom plates in aluminum. Also unless you get steel axles do not "weld" your diff. It rips axles out like crazy.

^^ That post is about two years old. Hope he has it figured out by now.

Got my car upgraded as much as I care to spend. Now its just all about setup and only going to spend money on bodies. Gotta get back to spending money on 1:1 pits.

I want this gto body 1/10

[DennisS]

Where can I buy one of these rc cars?

[Felipe]

At your local r.c. Hobby shop or online sites... Be ready to dump cash lol

[kamilitaryman]

This is a pretty sweet thread. Everyone's got some pretty neat toys! I'm into the RC scene myself. I started out on Nitro but I recently became a fan of electric. I do like them both, but the insta-torque of the electric is mega addicting!

Here's what I got myself last year for Christmas. It's a 1/10 Kyosho EP Fazer Rally. I never drove it on the stock brushed system. Instead, I bought a Castle system at the same time I bought the car. I also bought a aluminum drive shaft right away as the stock plastic one likes to warp from the torque of a brushless motor on LiPos lol.




I recently decided to change some things up. I hope to have it finished today, if not tomorrow. It's a HPI 2007 PROVA Impreza STi body.

[Felipe]

What color is that?
