XRX VS DRZ V2: Who Deservies YOUR $$$

- To be perfectly candid the performance difference between most RWD drift chassis is very negligible once they are properly tuned... What really matters is deciding what features you want such as a high motor mounts, style of steering system, aluminum color, & knuckle design.
- Zábava
I just got a drift art and it seriously gives a solid run for competition out of the box against any hopped up unit. I was amazed how easy it is to tune and the suspension is stellar
For real tho, the DA suspension is on a whole nother level! I have been tinkering with my DRZs lately & trying to figure out a better suspension set up, i managed to replace the front mono shock a Orlandoo Hunter shock but I'm not sure what to do about the rear end... Ill figure it out eventually.
as always great video and lots of upgrade parts :) looks insane and the xrx is simply beast cant wait to drive it still waiting for the reciever hope it will come before christmass :)
Yes the XRX is an outstanding chassis from ascetics to performance, she is a beast! I love all the blue anodizing as well, the chassis really pops!
Thank you for the support Ruzne, I appreciate it man!
another great vid, thinking about it more and more to get one of these rwd puppies. and i like the new profile pic, goes along nicely with the skull and bones on the r32!
I decided to make my own Jolly Roger with Drift Cat as the base & a grand fleet theme lol. Do you recognize the skull & cross bones? It’s from a show I watched growing up called One Piece & it has stuck with me ever since. Lol it’s the only manga I follow on a weekly basis, well it’s one of two mangas I read, the other is One Punch Man.
You definitely red to get a RWD drifter bro! You will love it on your track, it’s the perfect size!! & you need to get an R32 😉
@@BMR3 Nope i din't reconize it, but looks cool. i did reconize driftcat in there tho! it made me think of ken block as he used to have a bad ass 43 looking skull.
Speaking about ken, have you seen the latest gymkhana. it came out a few hours ago, it features travis pastrana. and he did something i can only describe as the bmr grind!
I've got a few r32's as you know im sure, im just in love with the short 90mm wheelbase of the FD. i'll do a bodyswap on my fhs 94mm r33 and send that around the track. wich one would you like to see? should i team up in the white one?? or should i go gunmetal or reebok/napolex? 🤔😁 Btw uploaded a nicer vid today from the track 😉
@@BlueDrift it’s because we all love pirates at heart & want to be one lol. Yeah Ken & Travis are nuts, haven’t seen the video yet but I’ll check it out!
Reebok with the pumps! 😹 I forgot about pumps, that makes me want to get the Reebok body now 🤦🏻♂️ lol this hobby is a money pit
@@BMR3 It really is a money pit 🙈 czcams.com/video/e-wY9KkVHd4/video.html
Hey BMR! You have helped me tremendously in the past with my MAO3O awd mini z ideas. I am currently adding to my ping pong table drift track and wondered if you could do a video on chosing surfaces for your drifting? Carpet vs laminate also I have been seeing other people on other channels using some kind of thin flexable material on the track I cant figure out what they are using. It looks like painted almost like cardboard but idk. Thanks for your great videos and keep up the good work!
Hey Chuck! Yeah I have considered doing a video on that topic, but I would prefer to have footage for examples & I don’t have access to all the surfaces I would like it test. That will have to be a video for down the road.
Regarding laminate VS carpet, LAMINATE all day long! I love laminate for drifting, it’s a perfect material since it’s so smooth & the amount of grip seems to be perfect in my mind. Carpet on the other hand is a bit of a beast, much higher traction which leads to MUCH higher speed drifts & an added side effect is the debris from the carpet get in the wheels & differentials.
I believe what you are seeing in other videos is vinyl rolls, I have seen people having tracks printed out on massive vinyl sheets & they turn out amazing. Only issue is space & the price tag 😹
I’m looking at getting this for my personal home track: www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/cut_to_size_plastic/abs_sheets/524?fbclid=IwAR3amTJNalrcaB03ef2aZDT1FS1Tp4IIWV-TtdjKChRy2ELya1NDR-i6vFQ
You can get the ABS sheeting above in larger sections & the best part is it can be rolled up & stored if you get it thin enough. I have seen a lot of people in the Facebook groups recommending ABS sheeting for a drift surface & it makes for a somewhat standard surface we can compare ourselves to.
Hope this helps!
May I be so kind to put op for one really good and considerable ‘good bang for your buck’ surface to grind your drifting skills on? Here it comes anyway; I often have puzzled and build up 40 square meters (i’m Dutch, in Europe we use the metric system so hopefully this isn’t a obstacle for the sake of this solution for your ping-pong table EVA tiled surface. Of witch i have to thank you for the suggestion. Thanks man, a happy new year to you too) ….racetracks at my home on different sizes of tiles combined flawlessly. Because a 40x40cm tile has got the same seams at the edge as a 60x60cm and 1m x 1m tile. Super smooth, mega durable and very very cheap. So my tip to you is give it a try, you will be surprised.
Nice explanations dude ! Very interesting !
Thank you my friend! These are great chassis, can’t go wrong with either
nice video dude. love the format and some nice little tips.
Nice, thanks man! I saw on FB you have a video out regarding the kingpin flip, haven’t had a chance to watch it yet (I rarely use my mr-03) but consensus is you did a great job 👏 keep the content coming brother! We need more micro RC channels!!!
@@BMR3 Take your time dude. It's nothing you don't already know haha. I agree %100 that we need more people in the 1/27 scene. It seems to be growing here in Canada due to Covid lockdown and people needing something to do indoors. A bit of a blessing in disguise for some of us. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Im...really impressed with the designs here. Holy cow, that turn angle is insane! Its like 90 degree angle!
I know right! That's why I moved from Mini-z to these specialized RWD drifters, there is really no comparing them.
great video! I have the DRZ V1 and V2, and i must say the V2 made a HUGE leap forward when it comes to built quality and easiness. Everything went very good and it ran very good out of the box. Compared to the V1, which was a pain to setup (and it didnt ran good before i built in the BM racing mod), the V2 was a huge stepup and i can recommend it to anyone who is interested to Mini Drift.
What screws did you use for the mono shock on the xrx?
I was thinking about getting something different than a mini z with the xrx be a good chassis to build I've never built a mini before
i know nothing about this hobby, i have around 7 pounds in my bank account, i have no interest in buying one or have the ability to afford one HOWEVER, i loved this video thank you very mcuh
Yo! Thank you for leaving this comment Kian! Truly appreciate to hear that you enjoyed my video 😸
Keep your head up & keep working hard, the money will come in. I wish you the best!!
@@BMR3you are welcome lol, thank you for making the video but i am planning on getting one of these sometime soon and i appreciate your kind words
@@kiansaghafi8681 look into the Drift Art 2.5, it’s by far the best chassis on the market but they are very popular so can be hard to find in stock & they are a bit pricy.
You can also look into the WL Toys K989 RWD conversions. The K989 are much more affordable & there are many many 3D printed conversion kits that let you turn it from an AWD chassis to a RWD beast for reasonably “cheep”.
Either way, good luck with your build brother & have a great day!
Hi BMR 3, I have ordered mono-shock for the XRX, however, how did you screw in to the chassis?
My mono-shock hole is smaller than m2 size screws.
did you use m2 size screw and drill it through the hole at the mono-shock?
Please let me know , thanks!
sorry for the late reply! mine all worked right out of the box. My screws were the same size as the stock shock screws?
No new vids?
Cool video
thank you for the support brother, I apricate the comment!
I rate the GLD man hands down its an easy build and drives sweet... im guessing you dont have one yet......have had issues with my XRX build and a few people i know have had nightmares....but like all they are gonna be much better with upgrades and settings!! Not busting your chops but great vid as always!!! Need to get my hands on the ART that thing just looks awesome!!
No worries at all brother & my chops are free to bust when it comes to anything channel related. It’s a safe zone for unloading 😹 🍻
But yeah I don’t have a GLD, I heard people where having nightmares with their GLD builds & it put me off. That’s actually why I ended up choosing an XRX since the GLD was taking so much heat in the groups... but you know how it goes, each “kit” is different & what might be a smooth build for some can turn into a nightmare for others solely based on luck 🙀 That’s why I want to get behind an ULTRA high end chassis that has perfect QC, shoot at this point just charge us $1000 & be done with a “perfect” chassis.
Yeah the ART looks cool but the belt drive has me going stray, & I’m not a fan of any 3d printed parts on my chassis. I prefer aluminum 😹
@@BMR3 yeah think we just all addicted to these things!! Yeah read all the GLD initial problems but glad i waited till they sorted the issues, but i am gonna be biased as i was lucky enough to see the pre production car and have met the HRC guys!!! Got a lot of experience dealing with China factories so i know its not easy to get these cars manufactured like with any product there will be problems initially, where pre production and production are just two completely different animals!! They just got real unlucky with the initial batch which has done them zero favours but now thats all sorted and all i can say is that this GLD is special, everything just goes together well compared with other kits they just got unlucky with the quality of some the plastics!! But handled very well with replacement parts!!
do you know if any of these high quality 1/2x scale manufacturers offer something in between a carpet racer/drifter and a rally type car? I'd like to build out one of these things, but i don't like the idea of being limited to dead flat running spaces. I'd just want a slightly higher ride height.
Try a carisma gt24. Not the gt24b or gt24t or gt24tr or any of that, you want just the gt24.
For the xrx spring use the spring out of a click pen.
The high motor mount setup would probably induce more body roll especially with a dual monoshock setup, not sure how it'll handle but it'll be definitely look super cool to see the car roll about as you pull massive slides XD.
I'm using one on my GLD and I'm getting more difference in handling because of the weight being positioned further back rather than it being higher up.
Hi, very informative videos. I'm to buy a drzv2 kit version and some need will be appreciated. My intention is to buy a 3500 kv motor and the question is, is the motor pinion included with the kit? If not, which one should I buy from 16T to 21T?
Thanks in advance
I’m a lil more into track performance, are these only drift cars??
yep, drifters exclusively.
BMR...mate where are you ?? you have disappeared. I really miss your vids
I’m still here, I monitor the channel for questions/comments but I’m taking a break from content creation. I recently (well since I stoped making videos) started a new job & im making well over double what I used to pull in, so that’s great, but it dosent leave me with nearly as much free time as I used to enjoy.
I have plans for several videos, I just need to find time to film it. Plus I would like to bring the overall quality up a bit, so I’m not rushing to push out content.
Thank you for reaching out! You made my day with this comment brother!! Hope you have a wonderful day as well
@@BMR3 Earning double is good...especially when your involved / consumed in this hobby !! Good luck to you.
what bodies will work for the xrx? i have the s13 body for my ma020 and was wondering if i could use it on the xrx
You have to use wide bodies, the XRX does not work with narrow shells unless the whee offset is 2+ to compensate for the track width.
@@BMR3 cool thanks for letting me know
@@CokePopLabs happy to help brother!
Please, where did you get the front monoshock for the XRX? I can´t find it.
It’s from the Orlando hunter, you have to build your own kit. Here are the links:

@@BMR3 Amazing, thank you very much for the fast reply!
@@HenriqueJunqueira130279 happy to help my brother! Good luck with your build & let me know if you have any questions.
@@BMR3 Yes I will, the DRZ V2 os arriving next week, but the XRX I just got at Aliexpress, so it will take almost 30 days to arrive here in Brazil, but I'll let you know. Now I am going to buy theses parts!! 😀
What's a good budget mini to start with I have to get 2 one for me.and my son. Wondering if wltoys k989 is a good starting point, Or do you recommend something else ? Also can you change things on them chasis,servo,body, etc on something budget friendly like this to make it more high dollar overtime? I literally don't know anything.
Hey man, yeah the k989 is a decent starting point & has ALOT of upgrade potential. Plus there are a bunch of video tutorials online regarding that platform & they should be able to help you a lot.
But regarding the mini-z, you can’t go wrong with a couple ma-020 AWD chassis. They are highly upgradable, easy to work on & you can change out the bodies to fit 90% of Autoscales on the market. You can’t change the servo on the mini-z since they are not standard, but they don’t need a servo upgrade. Other then that everything else can be upgraded.
It just depends on your budget, if you have $400 then I would highly recommend the mini-z since they are such a simple platform, come with the controller, drift spec tires, a beautifully painted shell, & run off AAA batteries.
Awesome thanks for the Quick Response as well. You have been major help. it's a little overwhelming tryna gather info and figure out what's right its so much out there.. Do you know where any mini z's are available at the moment haven't been able to find any in stock anywhere? Can't wait to start this hobby with my son.
@@tetruth6750 Yeah man it can definitely be overwhelming, that’s why I started this channel because I was so confused at first but then once I figured it all out I wanted to share the info to help get more people into this amazing hobby.
That’s awesome your planning on doing this with your son & I wish you two the best of luck 😸
Anyways regarding stock, Kennon Hobby actually has a bunch in right now & they even have the new Supra! That body will sell out quick so I suggest you move fast, here is a link: www.kenonhobby.com/MA020-AWD-Ready-Set_c_313.html
@@BMR3 Thanks man yeah your videos have been helping me and made me feel comfortable reaching out you gained a new subscriber here. Will do thanks yeah he still kinda young. So what I think I may do is get him the k989 for his starter car and get me one of the mini z's and later upgrade his car or let him pick a mini z later. Besides I heard one you start this hobby you get a itch lol so I'm sure we will have many more.
@@tetruth6750 oh man, the itch is real. Before you know you will want dozens of bodies & 1 of every chassis 😹 at least that’s how it was for me.
But yeah that sounds like a solid plan. The mini-z will be a reliable platform & the k989 will be a lot of fun as a project car. Your son should pick the hobby up quick, I just had my nephews in town last week (9 & 11) & they had a blast with the cars! They picked it up real quick, but they were intentionally trying to smash each other 😹😹😹
Thanks for the sub & support brother! Let me know if you have any further questions & best of luck to you two!!
How do u make the steering rack on the xrx tighter
Push the little bearing on the bottom all the way up & tighten the screw down super tight.
Did you get a top secret drz v2 ? Was?just at atomic sight and neither the v2 or v2le has a mono shock.
its an option/upgrade part sold separately.
Great video 👍
Question which of the 3,is the most expensive?🤔And links would be really helpful. 😁
When you do these videos,inform us of the expense. That would help too,in the determining of purchases.
Thanks for Sharing 👏👏👏👍
I was thinking about putting the price next to each in the thumbnail, but then I started to ask myself what determines the price point? Both have extensive upgrades that make nailing down the price a bit harder.
Good call tho man, I guess I’ll list the price as the chassis currently sit.
The XRX is about $502.00 (not including RX) & I received a discount from Chan so it would be a bit more (shipping not included either)
DRZ V2 cost $350 but all the extra $$$ is in electronics (motor, new gyro & metal servo)
Thumbnail has been updated ;)
Good call, thanks for the push to post price & all the support brother! Hope you have a good one
@@BMR3 Great to be of support 👍
Bro you must be doing good because that XRX,$500+😳🙊.
DRZ is more in my lane,that how much you'd have to invest. To have the Wltoys mimic that performance.
And that's a stock DRZ I'm assuming?🤔
Never knew these 1/28 scales, can get expensive as 1/10 scales. 😳
@@darrelhughes9090 the DRZV2 would be about $260 (with full electronics package) & a motor. But I would recommend tossing another $20 in to get the monoshock & it’s done. I’m just a mad man who’s not content with “stock” electronics so I dumped a bunch more in 😹
No joke these little chassis can out do the 1/10th scale in terms of cost. I could have easily spent another $100 on upgrade parts for the XRX to have it fully maxed out & then another easy $150 for top of the line electronics 😹😹😹 (& that’s not factoring in my transmitter/receiver combo)
Hi Bmr, how does the drzv2 compare the the drz1?
Leaps & bounds better. Really there is no comparison, the rear ends are the same but the front end steering geometry is completely different.
@@BMR3 just got my drzv2, monoshock coming in soon. You are so right. It is on another level from the drz1.
Yo drift cat you getting a BND minivn01?
Nope its 1/24th scale
Hello
I have a question. Having a Kyosho ma-020 model with AWD drive which is completely made for drift it makes sense to buy an EVO model from Kyosho which I would have to change for drift again.
Do you mean the MR-03? Those can’t drift since the car doesn’t have enough steering angle
@@BMR3 Welcome.
I meant the MINI-Z AWD MA-030EVO Chassis Set.
As I already have ma-020 which is made for drifting and gives a lot of fun, is it worth buying an EVO model?
Hi, please. Diff locked or not ?
Always lock the diff
@@BMR3 Thanks. Un grand merci de France.
Happy to help my friend, good luck!
Unless you own the gld I don’t think you can say the XRX is “better” also I personally prefer the DRZ v2 steering system, it’s literally the opposite of how you explained it. The DRZ v2 steering is on one post that is held down by a plastic threaded nut that won’t back out with vibrations. But the slide rack on the XRX requires more maintenance and can become loose with vibrations because of how you tighten the slide rack.
The gld is trash compared to either of these. You don’t have to own one to know that. The build videos show how bad it is
i’ve never had one and i’m about to get one should i get a AWD or TWD
It depends, what are you trying to do? Race around the house or drift, or a bit of both? Also, what’s your skill level with RC in general?
Hi, is it possible to put drz2 nono shock to XRX without modification?
Theoretically yes, so long as you have additional standoffs since the bulkhead on the XRX sticks out farther then the DRZ, but it should work with the proper standoff
Where do you get the mono shocks for the XRX? Thanks
The shock is from an Orlandoo Hunter kit & I sourced it through Chan RC
@@BMR3 by any chance you have part numbers can't seem to find it .. found the different springs for the damping
hi i just got into mini zs and i bought a ma020 and im wondering if theres any way to get rid of the reverse delay?
On the stock 020, no not that I am aware of, the 030Evo can program reverse delay & eliminate it but the stock cars can’t do it.
No more content?
taking a break, life has gotten busy with my new job. I plan to start releasing content more regularly & starting a new style of video 😁
Still waiting on my drz chassis😭 i ordered a transmitter from a different company and got a fucking 1.4mtr wingspan plane instead🤣 worst thing is it turned up like 4days early what an excitement killer that was🤣🤣

@@BMR3 hello BMR I have another question I want to get a rwd drift car but don’t know if I should go 1/10 scale or stay 1/24-1/28 I would rather prefer to chose the 1/24 scale route because I don’t have a lot of room to drift a 1/10 rc car that well but I can not find any good and reliable places or sites to find one in the US if that makes sense, what do you think I should do?
Can you link me a good one for beginners ? I’m kinda going in this blind with no knowledge but i wanna get into it
Is this your first micro drifter? Do you have any experience building kit cars?
BMR 3 Not really, just saw a couple videos and decided i wanna try this out. It will be my first micro drifter
In that case I highly recommend picking up a ma-020 mini-z AWD. They will be the cheapest option at around $200 for a rtr kit & it comes prebuilt.
The RWD drifters are full on kit cars & it requires a lot of attention to detail to build properly, & if you don’t build it properly they become a nightmare & can be very difficult to troubleshoot.
I recommending getting your feet wet with the mini-z & then go from there once you get some experience & know what you want out of a kit car.
BMR 3 Alright thanks man i’m definitely gonna look into it and i’ll let you know if i order , why / why not and all that thanks a lot
@@cylusislak no problem brother I’m happy to help! I just don’t want to see you bite off more then you can chew with a kit car & then get frustrated. Plus to build a RWD car it’s $400 minimum...
But yeah look into the 020 & ask me any questions, I have a ton of content covering the 020.
Yeaaaaaaaa 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
What up bro! I always see you in the FB groups but you gotta post some drift videos her on CZcams brother! Anyways have a good one & see you around!

Your thoughts about the HGD1?
Its a cool chassis no doubt, but there are a lot better options out there. Personally if I was you I would look at the DKmk2 & the DRZ v2, I think those are two of the best chassis out there. The XRX is cool but the more time I spend with it the less & less I care for it.
@@BMR3 thanks for the input sir, I was thinking towards DRZ V2 or HGD1, I really like the DRZ but looks like HGD1 is more beginner friendly so that’s why I’m still having hard time to decide as they are expensive for me😊
DRZ V2 hands down all day long. It’s a much better design then the HGD1 & from what I’ve heard (from beaver) is it’s a lot of tuning to get the most out of the HGD1.
I know what you mean, it’s hard to make the choice on a budget, but I highly recommending saving up for the DRZ V2. It’s the best choice for the long run IMHO
@@BMR3 Atomic DRZ V2 then sir😊 it is my first choice anyway and you help me decide on it again, and just upon checking, price are similar now even the HGD1 is now more expensive in total. I will just stay on the mono shock upgrade when I order one from rcmart. I don’t want to waste more funds on my wltoys and just keep it a decent lightly mod awd fun cheap drift car😊 thanks again sir. More power and keep safe!
@@R-EVLMNKY exactly, just get the mono shock & it’s done. That’s the beauty of the DRZ V2, it doesn’t need much in after market parts, just get the mono shock & it’s down to tuning after that 😸
