MRZ SF Quick Tip 2: Camber Set Screws
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed rokem
You will notice that the camber set screws have a cupped edge. If you tighten these down too hard, it may damage the aluminum posts. Some wear is expected as the edge takes hold. They need to be tight, but excessive tightness is not needed. Please don't "Hulk" out on the set screw! Raaaar! To help, you can also sand the edge of the bottom side of the set screw to make the edge less sharp. Kit: ...

  • @ninthislandrc
    @ninthislandrc Před 7 měsíci

    Overall, the car looks fantastic. Not much info has been released (obviously), thus I have an 'interesting' question. Will this only be available in a 98mm wheelbase? Or, will there be alternate (ex. 102mm) wheelbase length versions? I can easily see how this could have different wheelbase lengths (there should definitely be a 102mm option, possibly even 94mm)...but, unlike all other RWD kits that would only require a different motor mount plate, center shock mount, (if applicable) side links, and a few other minor/inexpensive parts, this would require an entirely different (ie. more costly) chassis.

    • @jerseymicroracer4781
      @jerseymicroracer4781 Před 7 měsíci

      Yes we will have a 102mm conversion coming for the MRX, and it will not require a different chassis plate either!

    • @GeckoRC
      @GeckoRC Před 2 měsíci

      Try to reduce motor power (via the radio You can reduce the Dualrate for example) On smooth surfaces that can help. Also bring weight to the rear and learn to play with the throttle lever... Theres a point every car wants to spin out and You have to learn to reduce power bevor this happens

    Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the advantage of the direct drive steering conversion? I just built this car, and am using a Drift Art ARFC V3. Would you, or anyone else for that matter know if this servo is compatible with that upgrade?

  • @alvinboey4303
    @alvinboey4303 Před rokem

    Nice content. Quick question: for a good drift setup, after you adjust the 4 shock collars to even out the ride height initially, do you eventually use a "corner weight scale" to make sure the weight on left+right shocks are even? When I do that, the left & right ride heights change and I have to choose between equal ride height or equal weight balance.

    This car is far too expensive for the performance you get out of it. Once you get it to a place where it's raceable, you could have just got a Reflex rx28 or something similar. I'm shocked they make you pay extra for adjustable shocks too. :/

    Dear Clint, thank you very much for putting this video on 'the tube' making it very clear and sound to me WHAT to do now that 'our well known' personal rc community, at least witch i'm taking part of in this region of the world, for whom i can speak into a shocking dead stop....... For all the good reasons and all the healty ones. My name is Raymon and i live in the Netherlands, i'm 42 and starting to instanly love rc cars especially at the age of 6. Still learning........ I will participate the drifting scene (at reasonable social saftey procedure) by start showing my learning curvature right at the restart of the humain green lights when (or maybe even IF......) the pandemic seems fairly under control on serveral locations in my country. Till then i will practice at home with a 1/28 car of what brand it is i keep unnoticed by all means, and further on progressing 2022 i try to purchase me one of them beautyfull Atomic DRZv2 kits to enjoy the art of drifting a tiny rc car around the available trackline or such as. I must say Atomic RC does understand racing on all levels, making enjoyable high quality cars, engines and rc components based on experience. The same for still making it affordable driving finances through this tough financial times buissiness-wise and all enthousiasts costumer-wise. I wish everybody a huge uplifting, healthy, progessfull and lovely new year (wheather or not you have somthing with rc doesn't matter to me in this sentance) so cheers!!! And again thanks Clint, Wolram RC, tungsten-carbide cutting tools, my tube, yours just as well, the whole global rc community and Atomic RC
