You guys are the Best Hobbyshop worldwide...I've supported you guys a lot over the years...even living in South Africa.Thank you for these drift vids...Its really good for friends who want to start drifting.Much appreciated.Jay
The RMX 2.0s was my first drifter when I came back to the hobby and couldn't be happier. I do have a Yokomo but still run the MST and can't even imagine of selling it, it just drifts!
Great watch Brett! Thank you for the shoutout and looking forward to some more mods! Also spotted the dams comp shirt, do you ride? I knew I liked your style 😎🙌🏽
Fun series! I'd recommend gearing it to a lower FDR as carpet surfaces tend to be grippy and need to break traction, which the box tune is setup for slippery surfaces where you would be looking for traction
Was rooting for the yokomos because the white rims look sick, but they all look like they'd be a blast with a little practice and setup. Thanks for another awesome video!
Love watching you guys upgrade the mst 2.0 I got mine a couple weeks ago an so far only proformance mods I have is a rear diffuser and lastnight pick up a blue tr56 shocks kit i have to put together after work today
✌🏻😎🏴I’m enjoying this series Brett 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Scale Science is an awesome channel for drifters to check out. They only do drifting. once a week they do a live stream everyone could check out & get answers to questions during a LIVE stream.
The real key thing to drifting is to control your throttle input and your steering. It seems like you were full throttling it much. Great video you made too! 👌
Hey Brett, thanks for the great video. I've been following this since it was released, I've been wanting to build a drift car. It's been a few days and playing with the stock tires, the yokomo carpet, and firebrand rc sickle tires. I really like the firebrand rc tires better on carpet they are grippy on and seemed to require less throttle. I'm still learning, thanks for turning me on to scale science 👍.
Great series! And now I want an RWD drift car... But I have nowhere to drift it! Also getting these RMX drift cars are a bit challenging this side of the pond.
When I went to your store every one was all droopy and looked moody. It was like in the old western movies that every one stopped what they were doing to mug me walking through the the door. No welcome no good morning. It was super awkward looking for what I wanted and when I finally found it I went to a desk and was told “Check out is over there”. I was like okay do you have this part? And they said no we don’t and just stared me like saying what else you want. I was excited to visit the store because it was a 3 hour drive.
Sorry to hear that Raider. Hopefully you saw some things you liked despite this. I'll pass on the feedback to the team. We appreciate you driving down to visit our store but wish you had a better visit. Thanks for the feedback. -Brett
Love these videos. We all make a flub and drop the car now and then. With me, I woulda hit the edge of the paper plate, catapulting all the spare parts onto the floor! 👍
btw ...We drift guys here in Cape Town run DRCs on our AWD cars & DRAs on our RWD cars.We guys in SA drift mostly on either smooth polished concrete or epoxy floors
You're a great presenter, man. They way you held back the frustration when you had to use the snips and contained yourself before carrying on, professional as. Nice work, my son and I love your videos.
You should had chris from the shop in the drift videos. He's great at drift and is very knowledgeable about it. He got me into it and I finally bought a drift car with his advice on car
Hopefully more drift night videos to come I'd love to finish working on my TT02 I could set it up for drift or touring track racing awesome videos guys love the content love seeing you getting in to something new.
The MST tires have been updated to white dots. I got a couple of sets of those. Great content keep it up bro! I would recommend to upgrade servo and gyro. Also bigger offset in front wheels. Better steering control 🤙🏽
Also bigger offset in front wheels. >Leave the rear more narrow? We've wanted to mess with the offsets but haven't, so I appreciate the tip. We'll try this. -Brett
When it comes to drifting corners and sweeper its 90% throttle 10% steering a steady throttle finger is key because if you go too fast or steer too much you will spin out
Great video series. Although I’d have liked to have seen the tyre differences on the car stock before you started adding custom bits. For some of us beginners we wouldn’t even go that far - changing tyres is about all I would want to do as a beginner.
830010 is a newer tire which probably didn't get changed in the manual. I hear a lot of good from those tires and that they are more suited for carpet drifting
0:00 Bro, what was that first entry of the video? It looks like magic because of the way the steering was. Update: Never mind, I realized the clip is played in reverse
Hey Brett, I've got a suggestion for you try reducing the camber to -2* on all four corners and in the front run 2* toe-out on each side. When you do this setup make sure to use the holes that go through the "top plate", steering rack and chassis.
Definitely enjoying this series, especially considering one been considering getting a drift kit (RMX 2.5 RS). Regarding "lubricant" for turnbuckles, the best is (probably) Chapstick...once you try it, you'll never use anything else.
@@AMain_Hobbies Plus, any excess can easily be wiped away, and you know what's there will "stick". With grease, being a 'fluid', more can find it's way "out" from between the turnbuckles & rod ends. In regards to the Chapstick tip, I picked that up some years ago within the RCC forum.
I know this is an older video but I'm curious what you were using for the track borders and interior? It looks like smaller pool noodles or pipe insulation but it's hard to tell. The outer border looks like garden border, but it's just hard to tell. Thanks!
I know this is a little off subject but could you do an in depth video on the Axial SCX24s? Similarities, differences and pros and cons of each one. I'll be purchasing one soon and am on the fence between which one. Thanks
It's something we picked up a year ago or so and it's been really helpful. Here it is: www.amainhobbies.com/sxt-racing-ez-turnbuckle-tool-sxt00097/p1315654 -Brett
fyi....I see you running -3° toe on the rear....or have you changed it? I mostly run 0° toe on rear...back steps out easily & I dnt need to push the throttle so hard...slides easily as theres no toe in the rear
Sure, setting up your ride height is the easier of the two. You'll want to set your ride height tool to the desired height first and run it under the car; front end and then rear end. If you need to make adjustment, you twist the spring collars on the shock cylinder. To increase ride height, tighten the collar - to decrease height, loosen the collar. Calipers can be used to measure the distance between the collar and the top cap on the shock, to ensure left and right side are the same distance. Make adjustments to one end of the car at at time. Shock rebound is not such an easy topic to explain, so I recommend you checkout some videos here on YT about it. -Brett
just started in the rc drifting. How did you manage to install the MST carpet tires without soaking them in hot water or heating them? I broke a tire in half after heating and using the MST drift tire install/removal tool
We just pushed down on the tire and it slid over the wheel. Wheel tolerances can vary and maybe you just had a really tight wheel? A chrome finish can also make for a tight fitment. -Brett
Hey I got a dumb question, I ordered a mst rmx 2.0 rtr and some yokomo high traction wheels, but just now was looking at them to send a link to my buddy and seen at the bottom description saying I need aluminum bolt on hex, could you please educate me why? The wheels are 12mm hex like the mst ? Maybe the stock plastic hex will break? Thanks for any help (I haven’t received my order yet so I can’t test for it or “inspect” my self yet)
Hmm, not sure. There wouldn't be any difference if a car was equipped with a plastic hex, aluminum, steel or titanium; the material shouldn't matter. Maybe they're pointing out it's a hex wheel and not an old pin style? Have a part number I can check out? -Brett
@@ajustice2010 Interesting. It sounds like to avoid stripping out the wheel hex, they want you to use a metal axle hex. Maybe it's just a precaution to preserve the wheel. -Brett
By adjusting the collars on the shock bodies up or down. We use calipers to measure the gap - from bottom of the shock cap and collar - and then ensure left and right are the same. Marking a line with a silver sharpie or similar will help you know how many turns you adjust the collar if you dont have calipers, so you can adjust the left and right side the same that way. -Brett

I live in Colorado too
Hey. So I recently have gotten into rc drifting and live in Colorado. I would love to get some knowledge
@@mjlevesque6016 we are in Lakewood. Come on down and check it out. We open tonight (Saturday) at 5pm
I can’t picture myself ever buying a dedicated rc drift car, but these series are always educational & fun.
i was the same way for years but once i had a nice garage i gave it a shot and have had a lot of fun learning
Fun series! I'd recommend gearing it to a lower FDR as carpet surfaces tend to be grippy and need to break traction, which the box tune is setup for slippery surfaces where you would be looking for traction

Chap stick works as well if you don't have white grease. You can also use rubber o rings to hold the tires on the wheels
