Upgrade priority for stock rdx.

I’m currently using a budget quick run 10bl120. No complaints about the esc other than no boost or turbo. Would I be better off upgrading the stock shocks for the yokomo big bore or upgrading the esc.

Clorox wipes to clean

Is it safe to use Clorox wipes to clean my rc? There is a lot of dust and other build up on my rc. And for the tires, should I put it in some sort of solution to clean it? How would you guys go about it?

Whats up esc?

Is there much performance difference between esc's . I was looking at the dx10 but it seems like a lot of people like the Acuvance – Xarvis.

Opinion On New DriftArt Build

Hey all, pretty new to the hobby and saw the new DA4 chassis back in stock and had to pull the trigger (from here if anyone else is interested). This is my first real 1/28 build so just wanted some advice on the rest of my parts or if I missed anything. Thank you in advance!

Servo: RS100

Gyro: SMG5

ESC/Motor: HobbyWing EZRUN 6500KV combo

Receiver/Tramsmitter: FlySky FS-GR3E

And I already have wheels/tires, battery/charger, and a couple of bodies.

Servo issues????

What is it when you're sliding and you see a little twitch in your steering?? Like you see the countersteer and then the wheels flip in the opposite direction and then back to countersteer....I wish I could get a video but it's not regular

SkyRC GC401 Gyro

Hello everyone!

Does anybody ever used the GC401 Gyro from SkyRC in their RWD Drifter before?
How did it feel and how was the setup? Im looking for an inexpensive Gyro and this might seem like a good option, but there aren't really any YT Videos about it.

RD 2.0 Black Friday build

Got the Yokomo RD 2.0 kit from Amazon Black Friday deals for $198 after tax and shipping.

Electronics will be here Friday. I went with the basic setup for now HW quicrun 10bl120 g2 ESC - $40 HW quicrun 3650 g2 10.5t - $44 Yokomo V4 gyro - $76 Yokomo sp-02 d v2 servo - $75

Total after tax for electronics was $253.76

Bought a brand new never opened Futaba t4pm (not plus) for $175 from a guy at the track. I know the updated plus may be slightly better but this is my first real quality transmitter and the guys at my track race with these so I’ve got more hands on with it, so this will be my main radio for my drift and race rigs for now.

I have not bought a battery yet, gotta figure out what ends I want to solder before I order those. I already own a couple chargers so I’ll get something compatible for those.

So far the build has cost me $627.35 w/ transmitter. If I didn’t need a transmitter I could have the whole chassis build for around $450. This is my first drift build so I wanted to be cost effective and get as many deals as possible to help keep price down.

Excited to get this build started, you guys helped a lot this past week on what to get, I appreciate you all! Let me know how I did.

traxxas 4tec bl-2s, vxl, or drift?

i want something that can go on a drift track, but also go decently fast in a parking lot. i feel like the vxl would be too fast for the track, drift would be too slow for the parking lot, and bl-2s would be a happy medium?

brand new to rc drifting in general, thanks!

Is my esc toast?

I was installing some lights and accidently touched ground and power and shorted the channel 2 port. Is my esc toast or is there a fuse?

Can anyone recommend a carbon fibre vinyl 'stencil'?

I'm trying to find a sticky carbon fibre stencil to allow me to paint a carbon effect on curved areas of the car. Thanks in advance.

Using the MST stealth magnetic body mounts for the GR86RB body

Has anyone else used the MST stealth magnetic body mounts on the GR86RB body? At the front, even if you cut the posts right down, the body still seems to be too high. At the rear, I have reversed the cross bracket and used the inner mount positions and it is just about okay.

Wheel well alignment issue.

Hey y’all, I’m running into an issue with my pandora 180sx body not fitting properly, no matter how much I trim or shave around the wheel wells I’m scrubbing the rear part of the wheel well causing the body to bend and pop off the mounts. It’s getting frustrating and I can’t figure it out. Is there anyway to keep the body from coming in contact with the front tires?

Is this battery good for rc drift?

My ESC: Fire Phoenix 120A. Motor: Brushless Rocket V3 540 10.5T Sensored. I am looking for a battery for my model because now I ride with one that is 300-400g. My budget is not very big.
