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: ...

Atomic RC DRZv2 Thoughts & Impressions
Wow! In the details!
Hello everyone, could you tell me what the differential reference is at the start of the video...
Mrx or mrz ex? Which one you prefer? I have a 1.1 that I converted to a SF front that performs excellent
Its perfect. But who makes the square box battery shown in the video.
That is the new Reflex hard case.
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.
Yes we will have a 102mm conversion coming for the MRX, and it will not require a different chassis plate either!
Do you sell these as ARR kits? I am looking at getting my first "Better" kit and looking at the ms to use with a Superbird body. Thank You
Can you do a video on micro electronics? I can find much on radios and receivers for 1/28th scale.
what motor should i get for the drz3 mp
I have tried everything that I learn from this video and I can’t seem toget my car from spinning out.I’m about ready to just give up on the rc drift
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
great video!! i have a couple Xrxs and im just now finallly getting it together i like drifting with no gyro at first just to get the car tunned to the best of my ability so i know the gyro is not over compensating for tunning flaws
Great Video very well done and explained. Just a few little tweaks
🙌🔥
i bought a drz3 mp brand new but no matter what i do it'll drift one way but not the other
yo your not alone i have a Xrx sport that im dealing with same thing
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?
👍🏻
Great video!
Thanks!!!!
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.
Nice one...
Wow I might have to try this. This is way more affordable than the KISS front for Reflex. Definitely worth a shot
Nice Content ~ Look forward to more
that was very informative Stephen,thank you for it,how about a video on setting up ESC and Gyro for drifting the DRZ 3
Awesome quality and content.
I would amend the passing part to say if your the car behind it is your job to pass the car ahead cleanly
Едет круто! Укомплектовано тоже класс!
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. :/
I'm curious, how is the reverse delay? Can it be changed?
Clint, still enjoying the ESC? Have you installed the latest software update? Heard it offers a very smooth slow speed setting. Like it with the aluminum case or without?
Have not used it much since as I tend to favor the Atomic ESC’s. Many in the local club use them and love them though. You will want to keep track of the firmware updates.
Nice huskey case bins. I have that case!
Only two 98MM set up sheets? Where’s the love for the MRT? Is this model going to be forgotten now that the SZ2 is out?
I love how you say you’ve never been into drifting on your very first video and now every video is about drifting stuff just pulls you in haha
EXCELLENT MRT discussion vid... keep up the great work !!!
Thanks man!
What battery did you use?
Just a normal 2s lipo
@@clint_thayer would you happen to have a link, every battery I try is 2 pin jst, but I need 3pin jst for this esc
www.wolframrc.com/product/360mah-2s-lipo-battery-w-jst-ph-balance-connector-atomic/193?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=33
Does Lee have them?!? I want one!
Yep. Should have them, or coming in soon.
I know Atomic is a sponsor, but man you must have hit the jackpot with your DRZV2 if you claim "there were no issues". I've never heard of anyone not having to hack/sand/trim the crap out of this kit to have it go together smoothly.
Thanks guys. Very informative and helpful. I'm going to be buying my first bz3 soon.. Can I ask, if you were to buy the motor and esc, does it come with the fittings to the bz3 or do you need to buy additional fittings?
Great vid. That's how my sway bar is as well. Just enough droop so the sw stays connected.
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
Great video! Post this all the places!
Will I have to get a new gyro for my drzv2 if I get the furitek momentum? The plugs look different.
what shocks front and back for rcp track?
Hello,I think a good thing to do is to shims up and under the steering plate pressure bearing,it allows a smoother and a better steering.I run in France,I use bz3 and MRT and I race with top europeans drivers.love atomic since the start I have bz16,amr,sz,bz3but also run a lot of kyosho and pn...MRT and bz3 are top ones
Thanks!
I know setups are different, but do u mind sharing what settings u settled with? Im a new racer, running it in pn superstock format
Once I get it installed in my F1 and get some packs through it, I’ll post some settings. Most of my early testing was mostly on default settings.
I connect my drz to everything and the foward and reverse work but the steering no matter what I do goes to the right . And it won’t budge unless I turn it off any recommendations?
@@clint_thayer thank you boss for ur help 🙏
What does it mean
I hook everything up and it starts blinking red
Just started ordering stuff from Wolfram. Hell of a lot quicker than trying to order from Hong Kong.
What bodies can be used
Any white or lexan body in either 98 or 102mm should be able to work for the MRZ. You will need the 102 chassis plate (bottom and top) if you desire to run 102.
Send me one and let my mother pray for you
What is the track width (center of one wheel to center of the other) of this model? Thanks!
For the RCP track it is typically 50cm sections and range from 2 to 3 sections. rcptracks.com
