This brother got some extremely high quality video production for only 3k subs , he needs some more subs seriously !
Thank you! I try and make my videos watchable! I appreciate your time!!!
@@turtlelaboratories absolutely! Would love to see more mst rmx content and maybe some SCX24 content ?!
@@NWGarageI do have some SCX24s! I will work on that!
I just recently got into this hobby and absolutely love it! I'm surprised more people aren't into it nor do they know it exists. I'm subscribing to every Drift RC channel I come across because we all are doing something awesome! I just recently started posting YT Shorts of my drifting adventures and would love for you to join me! I'm going to build my very own track in my garage and will be posting videos on the progression of it. Looking forward to you joining me!
Keep up the excitement and hype, RC drifting is an amazing hobby!
Yo I feel the same way!!!! Hope you get drifting asap! I just got my first drift rig yesterday now I’m just getting everything all set up so hyped! Check out super g drift track if you haven’t it’s amaaaazzzzziiinnnngggg!
People know it exist, but when they realize how much the investment is…when entry level is like 600 and a full blown build can be 3k
would really enjoy more mst rmx content
I'll see what I can do! Thank you so much for watching!
I have the Mst TR56 shocks and I have drilled the holes from 3 to 6.stock pistons have the extra holes premarked, I am using a Sakura D4. I had the yhea racing 55mm before mst and I can tell you it's night and day. From what I can see your rear doesn't give you forward "push" and it has sudden reactions due to not fast compression of the damper. Also using the stock oil 300 makes things worse. If you see my videos are all with the mst alloy tr56 and I am using 0 to 10 oil at the most. I and I think most of the people prefer a damper which has almost no resistance and adjust the behavior only by spring. Just my advice, nice video my friend!
When you closed the shocks a mistake was made! Push downwards with your right hand the plastic top balljoint holder and the membrane while turning with the other hand the cap that fastens them together! That way you have significantly fewer possibilities for air inside the shock thus more consistent behavior of the vehicle! Also and air remover can help in this situation ! I am racing modified 10th scale so mistakes like that cost a lot !
Nice. Thanks for the advice just bought to off road slash from trax now looking into drift n races as well. So much too learn!
I just needed to say wow! That looks so nice! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much!
Nice RMX, love mine too!
Thank you!
Your build rig is awesome
Thank you!
I have a rmx 2.0 kit that I just finished building, just about the same build xd10 esc,10.5t hobbywing, power hd R12 servo,power hd G1 Gyro an flysky gt5. Waiting on carbon fiber chassis this night,just getting into drifting enjoying the content that put out keep them coming.
Awesome man! Have you been driving it much? I am having an absolute blast with mine!
@@turtlelaboratories haven't driven it yet still waiting on parts super excited to get to finally drive it. But if possible can you explain how to tune the gyro with FlySky GT5 not many videos out there drifting.
beautiful 100
Thank you so much!
Got a new sub.✌️
I love it I’m getting into rc drift and I’m only young so I’m not rich enough but I watch yt so I enjoy this
Thank you for watching! Keep your eyes on the prize, and you, too, can save up and get one!! Good luck!!
I have a very very similar build to this, initially got the rtr 2.0 and went with a yokomo spd 02 servo, v4 gyro,acuvance agile 10.5, acuvance xavis esc and the same carbon chassis but i was worried about roasting the diff with the added power but have a really tame tune right now so i think i might be okay because i drive on slick indoor tracks not carpet so a lot less strain on everything
Sounds like you have a pretty epic build! I actually roasted my diff with my 13.5T no boost/turbo setup on smooth concrete. When I was building the kit, I thought it would fail, too. They even specify, in the manual, that you super glue part of the diff! I already have the spur gearbox on order, and can't wait to install it, just for a peace of mind.
getting an rtr soon? how can i avoid roasting the diff? if i upgrade the motor ill do 10.5
@@turtlelaboratories good to know! i’ll probably end up getting the ball diff kit and hope that will save me from roasting it. I love how the car feels right now but now i know that diff just won’t last
@@silencioso3271 Seems kinda unavoidable if he was able to break his without boost but i’d say get the rtr and run it till it can’t run anymore! I’ve had mine for probably 3 months now which isn’t crazy long but haven’t had any problems yet, but they make a ball diff kit for like $45 which would help and even sell a whole aluminum diff housing that comes with all the gears the ball diff and a few other things which is like a whole package kinda thing for like $175 but looks really worth it i might just pick that up
😍😍
Whatre you doing w the battery/Sautering at 3:58
Hi there, at 3:58, I am installing the positive and negative bullet leads to the ESC into the battery.
I have never touched or seen one of these drift cars in person. But the simple fact that are so pimped out - may need to get my hands on one of these to build up as a shelf queen... :) What would people recommend?
Hey Bert! You may want to build one as a shelf queen, but once you drive one, you will want to build more of them! Honestly, after building this MST RMX, I love it, but I would have been better off with a Yokomo. I am about to replace my diff again, just so I don't fry it again during a drift session, and I feel I shouldn't need to do that, and the other upgrades that I had to do to bring up to be equal with a stock YD-2S.
I did the motor mount change but now my rc rattles when I accelerate any recommendation to fix it
Need to take the battery out when working on the car or atleast unplug it , but great quality video
Good tip! Thank you!
Very cool! That carpet you have looks great! What is it?
Thank you! It was two rolls of 12' wide carpet, cut 15' long. We found it at a local discount store, "Ollie's". You can probably find something similar at a carpet supplier. It's just cheap commercial carpeting.
Did you notice any leaks on your qutus shocks?wanted to upgrade my plastic yd2 shocks but the yokomo aluminum ones has been out of stock. Looking at the qutus shocks, it looks like a similar build and should be a good upgrade. But again the only reason I wanted to upgrade from plastic is it keeps leaking and I have to rebuild it every session.
I haven't noticed any leaks as of yet!
also whats that blue stuff u put on things? and why do u use it? thx!
It's Vibra-tite blue thread locker. I put it on all metal to metal contact, to prevent the fasteners from backing out. I've got a link to it in the description!
hey my guy hope all is well🙏🏽. so I picked up that heatsink motor mount but the Screw holes are too big🤦🏾, any Suggestions?
I am not really sure? Get larger screws?
Do you drive an MST RMX 2.0 or similar? What is your favorite spec'd out build? Comment below! Don't drive an MST? What do you drive? I would love to hear!
yokomo yd2E with burshless mutchmore racing electronics and blue r35 body (soon a sky blue rx7body one it comes in stock localy)
Just got an RMX 2.0 RTR. Learning on that. Have already ordered a 2.5rs kit and MRX kit to build out! Have a Acuvance Xarvis XX, Fledge 10.5, Yokomo gyro and Reve D servo ready to go into whichever I build first. More driving on the 2.0 first to work on my driver mods.
I need opinions or recommendations on upgrades for 2.0 RTR to go into a turbo setup
There are a lot of options out there. It really depends on what budget you have in mind for your car.
@@turtlelaboratories i want to keep my chassis but I do want to replace the stock parts to gain a bit more power & response
Got a link for the heatsink and fan? I using the og mst rmx 2.0 motor
I do! Check out the description, I have them listed there.
The power hd d12 steering servo can that be used with the stock gyro and transmitter. I played with mst rmx 2.0 for like 3 hours and already broke the gears in the steering servo im having trouble finding a replacement.
If you are referring to the RMX 2.0 RTR, it should work great with it. If you are having trouble locating a servo, a solid performer is this Trackstar servo: amzn.to/3UOtT6l
Thank you very much.
I'm interested in getting into this hobby but man does it look intimidating lol.
Don't be intimidated! There is a lot to learn, as far as settings go. There aren't many parts to them, though, and getting one going isn't too difficult. If you are afraid of building one, don't shy away from a an RTR (ready to run) car!
@@turtlelaboratories I've been looking at a mst rtr for my first car.
@@atypical_blk_guy I know this comments old but I bought an RTR version of what is in the video and it’s great. Learning on it and then I’ll upgrade once I get dialed in
nice video man i subs :D
Thanks for the sub!
What is that oil you use for grinding motor mount?
I used amzn.to/40dGX9j. I use this oil for bearings and other pivots/joints as well.
Where can I get some of those shocks?
Checkout the description for some links to the parts used. The QUTUS shocks are listed, too!
Hi I was wondering if you could give me some advice on what carpet I should use for rc drifting I’m trying to start a club at a college I go to and I wanted to use carpet because they won’t lent me use drift cars in there floors I’m doing a lot of research and I want to hear your thoughts on it any suggestions is helpful and anyone can comment on this
Please and thank you
What you want is thin, cheap, grey, commercial carpet. If you go to your local hardware store, it will likely be the cheapest one. I got my carpet at a local discount store for even cheaper. The discount stores wont have endless rolls of it, though, and you will need to piece it together if you do a large track. for instance, my two pieces are 16' x 18'. Don't be upset with the venue for not wanting drift cars on the floors. The wheels are essentially sanding away at the floor, and with enough use, it could end up costing a lot to restore to the original finish. Carpet is a great way to setup a temporary track.
Thank you so much for your reply I’ll keep a look out for some cheap carpet I have high hopes for the club I’m starting and hope that everyone will enjoy the hobby as I do
How the hell do you even drift with the flysky remote? I tried using my basher remote for drifting and it was big nope. Futaba 4pm all the way.
I appreciate the feedback! I quite like my Flysky, and prefer it over my buddy's Futaba 3PV.
@@turtlelaboratories do you drive at a track a all? I had huge problems with my flysky cutting out and doing random things once there got to be any more than ten people drifting.
Kudos to you for making it work though. I had enough of a time making my FXX fast enough to hang with trains and just wanted a no fuss transmitter with plenty of features. I've since upgraded to a gyd550 gyro and that ties in with the sbus stuff on the 4pm, but it's an expensive ecosystem to buy into if you want to run it on multiple chassis.
@@DanjaBis Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to drive at a track. There aren't any near me. That's cool that the gyro and radio work together. I could definitely see a benefit in that!
@@turtlelabsproducts7315 Ah that's a shame, there is a couple around me in the UK that are painted/polished concrete and they're a hoot to drive. The low friction surface is where its at.
where can I find this chassis kit for $60? its $111 everywhere I have seen it. thats insane.
It looks like, with a simple ebay or Amazon search for, "mst rmx carbon", there are still lots of listings that show up.
Valor dele pronto?
Bro I just want to know how to tune my suspension please 😭
Music from?
Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio!
Leave the back bone ,it’ll flex too much at speed,and the plastic and carbon bases crack or break with out it,especially in an accident or trivial swing/sweep crack against something!
If you want to break anything on the car it’s that back bone that breaks first saving everything else!
It’s pretty integral to most higher,hobby grade RC street,track and drift cars.
This from someone with mass head on and tear end collision experience into walls and barriers! Ha!😀 seriously!
Thank you for the advise! I still want to try it, just to see what it does, and how it handles. I won't be leaving it permanently like that, though!
No turbo flutter🤣🤣🤣
Maybe I am just not trying hard enough! Hahaha.
its hot cos of the way u drive and its not the best way, so the upgrade is just pointless if thats the goal
Thank you for the feedback!
Those little cars are noisy 😅
Noisy in such a good way! I love the sound when they hit boost/turbo!
If your wheels are perfectly balanced...blue locktite on a drift car is not needed.
Even with balanced wheels, the surface being driven on can introduce unwanted vibration, leading to screws backing out. I find that it is a cheap insurance that takes almost no additional time to do.
@@turtlelaboratories True.
