      Hello Beaver is it easy to bind a radio link rc6gs with the atomic drz? Planing to buy the version with the electronics! Thank you ver much for all you detailed videos! I really enjoy to follow your projects!

    • @BeaversHobby
      @BeaversHobby  Před 3 lety +1

      @@SPL3NDiD1 Don't worry about the binding. That's between the radio and the receiver that comes with it and it should be bound already so you can just plug the ESC, and gyro into it. Actually you can use any radio with the car without any problem. You'll need to convert the plugs though because RC6GS has standard size plugs but DRZ full electronics uses micro plugs.

    Great video! Do you think the DRZ is worth purchasing, rather than modifying the older AMR?

    • @BeaversHobby
      @BeaversHobby  Před 5 lety

      Yes, it's still worth the price (albeit 3 times the price) because it has 94mm chassis plate VS 98mm of AMR making it a more agile, the front steering which requires different chassis holes so if you get AMR you'll have to drill them yourself. Also front steering assembly are the mix of parts from BZ and new parts. Modifying these yourself is a big hassle.

    Hi Beaver!! Finally finished mine, great fun building it, thanks again for all the tips!
    I have a couple of questions, lets see if you can please help me.
    1-When i go forward throttle and immediatelly move it fully backwards, the wheels stop but don’t start moving backwards. If i release the trigger and go backwards again it works. Abs is disconnected on the transmitter. Do you know what can it be?
    2- i’m new on drifting but, once the rear start sliding I can’t control it and I lose the rear doing a full spin, it’s like the rear is very nervous, I drift on wood floor that is very slippery with the stock tires, I’m using stock setup with gyro at 45% (otherwise the direction starts wobbling) I have even lowered the dual rate at 35% on the motor channel to have it more smooth but once it starts sliding can’t get it back and do a full spin even though I countersteer. Any suggestions on what settings to change or maybe getting tires with more grip??
    Would you mind sharing your settings??
    Thanks again!!!

    • @BeaversHobby
      @BeaversHobby  Před 5 lety +5

      Hello there.
      1. Don't worry. This is normal. It's the correct settings of ESC. If you go directly from forward to reverse it'll brake or from what you see, the wheels stop. Many people set brake very strong too so when you brake the car lock up the rear wheels making it like pulling the handbrake.
      2. Be very gentle with the throttle. You can also try putting some weight on parts of the car too. If it spins out easily you can try weight down the rear. If it doesn't turn in sharp enough, add weight to the front. Also see if when you do full lock the wheels still can spin and they are both touching the ground. Otherwise you'll have to widen the front track by screwing 3 arms out, upper control arm, lower control arm and steering rod.
      Hope this helps.

      Beaver's Hobby thanks a lot for your answers!
      Front wheels turn freely when fully turned. Will try playing with some weight, the rear axle is wider than the front one and it has a bit of negative camber. Will try to widen the front axle too.
      I think that the main problem it’s also a lack of practice, specially throttle control, I either put very little so the rear doesn’t slide or too much and I lose control and do a 180º spin.
      Do you think that decreasing the camber on rear wheels will make things better?
      Thanks again!!

    Is it advisable to run grip tires on rwd drift cars like the DRZ? Except the hgd1, the front suspension arms all seem to be more fragile because of the need to maximize steering angle. Does that mean they will likely break more easily in a crash? I'm wondering if there's a rwd chassis sufficiently good at both drifting and touring.

    • @BeaversHobby
      @BeaversHobby  Před 4 lety +1

      No, its not advisable. As you suspect the front is much slimmer and much more fragile in crashes. Also touring car won't utilize such steering angle. You you look for a budget RWD touring I highly recommend Atomic AMR which is the touring version of DRZ. If you want one car that can do both RWD touring and drifting, HGD1 is your best bet. Just swap the servo horn to a much shorter one in touring mode so you won't have excessive steering angle too.

      It's the steering angle that makes a RWD drift car. I'd say stick with 1/10 if you have a place to run it. Right now there are many choices especially for 1/10. MST RMX 2.0, Yokomo YD2 and also 3Racing Sakura D5 will be coming out soon.
      As for 1/28 check out XRX DPA, Atomic DRZ V2 (2nd version of the car in this video, it has better steering and adjustable wheelbase) and GL Racing GLD.

When I turn the steering wheel to the left the left wheel lifts off the ground, turning to the right is alright. Steering linkages are on default adjustments and I have cut off excess material on the steering sliding block to avoid it from hitting the wheel hub on max turn.

      Turn the EPA on the transmitter down so it won't go so far that lift up the wheel. If you can't turn left and right equally then experiment with the linkages length until you got it turning the way you want. Maybe you'll have to extend the track width and steering linkage on one side so it can fully turn.

      From what I got they are between LF1 and LF3, quite fast but not that fast. The control is really good with the stock tyres as well. However mine was 1st batch and came with front rounded and I don't know if they still give you that. Anyway, the Atomic flat tyres are also good.

    Hello Beaver, I have been tinkering a lot with my car. The rear of the car felt too solid as it keeps spinning out. Only with very minimal throttle than it is more controllable. (5500kv with 20% Throttle Trim). I think it has something to do with the ride height? How do I adjust the front and rear height? Right now the front is higher. I am using LF-4 Narrow on front and rear. Default settings on DRZ does not work for me.

    • @BeaversHobby
      @BeaversHobby  Před 4 lety +1

      My setup for DS tyres are 7 degrees caster (the original was too much), 2 degrees camber and extend the front width as much as possible. Then adjust the downstopper until the wheels won't lift when turning.

    I decided to take the plunge and get this chassis for a drift build. I got the no electric kit since the other wasn't in stock at the time.....go figure I get it today and now the electronics version is back in stock. Anyway, I was wondering about the servo, I know it's a nano servo, but I was wondering the spline count? Is it a 20T or 25T fitting?

      Do you have gyro? Does the gyro work correctly? When you swing the car it should counter steer. Check if the wheels hit shock absorber in full lock because that causes spinning too. Also don't apply too much throttle. Try to drive slowly and see if the car works correctly first. Also check the wheels tightness. Front wheels should spin freely.

      Well I never have a micro RS4 but principle should be the same. Use plastic drift tires, lock the diff or use solid axle/spool. When drifting, swing the car in while give the throttle then let it slide and adjust the steering accordingly to guide the car where you want. Let go the throttle and turn the other way to do transition or switch to another side.

    Hey may I ask if yours came with reverse?

    • @BeaversHobby
      @BeaversHobby  Před 5 lety +1

      Yes, but you have to calibrate th e throttle first. You probably also need to reverse throttle channel too.

      @@BeaversHobby mine seems to have only forward and brake only. I did the throttle calibration a few times already. Maybe I need the programming card to make it work. What a shame. Thanks for your reply.

      @@phailstig You'll have to wait a bit to go in to reverse. However it also depends on your transmitter. Some doesn't have good centering and won't work well with this ESC. I don't remember if you can set neutral range but this is hobbywing so I think you can with the programming card.

      They are standard Mini-Z AWD wheels. I got them from Banzaihobby.com
      The ones I have in this video are 1.5 offset banzaihobby.com/Kyosho-MDH100W-N15 . They're out of stock at the moment though.
