MA-020s SP Chassis Conversion Part 2: Building The Ultimate Drift Rear End

- This is the second installment of the 020 SP chassis conversion series. In this video I go over my new front end setup & give my brief thoughts on the Eagle Racing products (spoiler: They SUCK!!). I also have the rear end assembled, but I did not realize until after the video that my rear axle is installed backwards (I realized when installing).
- Jak na to + styl
Sucks you arent a fan of the parts, it looks super nice haha. I am currently building my MA-020s at the moment and your channel has been a great help. I ordered a front one way but no one in the states had one so im stuck waiting for JP shipping.
thestreetzking thank you for subscribing & im glad my videos are helping you out!
Regarding the front one way, you should have hit me up. I could have sourced one in the states for you, there are plenty of US distributors, you just have to know where to search.
I purchase 90% of my parts through Kennon Hobby, and the rest from Nitro Hobby or eBay.
@@BMR3 kenon is where I bought most of my stuff, I searched for an entire day online, literally every single mini z part website I could find, no one had one in stock. So I had to order on ebay, it was a great price though, it was the same as if it was on kenon, It says it should arrive next week, im hopeful haha
That’s the thing about ordering from Japan or China, the price is cheeper, but I always ship EMS(so there is no hassle) so I end up paying more in the end. But sometimes you just gotta order order overseas, nature of the hobby I guess.
I just wish M’s racing would produce more differentials so I could put together an order for CS gears from Japan
@@BMR3 I gotta stop watching your channel man, now im about to purchase that transmitter hahaha
@@BMR3 the first rule of miniz is you dont talk about how much you have spent on miniz
with you on the M racings diffs. i have been looking into how to make something similar locally
Welcome. The film shows that you have the rear of the car sold on aluminum parts. Is it worth doing? Is it enough if I mount only Rigid Axle and all the rest will be standard or plastic. The same with the front of the car mount the Front Oneway Unit and all the rest should be factory.
ado gde I only upgraded the rear end to aluminum because my stock plastic rear end broke. You don’t need to install this style rear end. Just a solid rear axle will do you great
@@BMR3 Thanks to your hint I can save some money :)
I’ve been trying to find the rear carbon plate with the gear box like in your video you don’t talk about the brand or where u got it from
It’s made by PN racing & I got mine in the states from Kennon Hobby
I do like the eagle adjustable shocks. have had enough issues with the atomic ones that i plan to swap them out. if you didnt go with the DWS you may not have looked at them yet.
but have to agree, have had so many fitment issues with eagle, either all eagle or in combination with stock parts
Blitz Works I’m putting together a DWS rear end, but just using the parts that came with the 030Evo. I’ll keep the adjustable shocks in mind, thanks for the tip
Yes same issues here with knuckles, I have those same ones.
Garage Mini RC UK yeah I’m going to work on a review on the Eagle Racing parts soon. I think they can be saved, but it will take some work to get the to play nice with my swing arms.
I was shocked at how lose the suspension arms were, they literally popped off the knuckles ball joint when just trying to install them on the frame. It was crazy, I couldn’t believe how lose the fitment was...
My rear end has just broken. Kyosho plastic is very weak. Where can I get those nice orang aluminum rear end parts?

Welcome. I'm browsing the drift tire store.
What size to buy? 1.DS Racing MiniZ LF-4 - 11mm wide
2.DS Racing MiniZ LF-4 8.5mm narrow. Write which one to choose. And one more question. After installing the Front Oneway Unit and Rigid Axle, should any changes be made to the car's settings for better performance
ado gde the tier width depends on what size rims your car has. My cars all have narrow rims so I contacted DS Racing directly through email to place my order so I could get all narrow tiers. Normally I think the tiers are sold in packs with two narrow and two wide in each pack. You can get both to be safe, they are pretty cheep.
Changing the cars settings really is dependent on your driving style. Personally I really like to put harder springs in the rear, it will make the car oversteer better when your mid corner. Another thing you can look into is the front tie bar, I like to go -1 on the setting. This should help the car oversteer a tiny bit better. But like I said, set ups are super subjective & dependent on your personal driving style.
@@BMR3 Forgive me for having so many mini drift questions. Recently, I am the owner of a new Subaru AWD from Kyosho. I am talking about the latest AWD series
ado gde ok then I think you have the 2008 WRC Subaru, which uses narrow front tiers and wide rear tiers.
No worries about the questions! I’m happy to help as I can
@@BMR3 My subaru is the latest collection with AWD drive from kyosho.com.That's exactly how the front tires are narrow and the rear tires are wide. I will try to order them
ado gde good man! Let me know what you think of the DS Racing drift tiers, I personally love them.
They have very little grip, so it’s easier to drift at slow speeds
Hi bmr
Can you let me know where you purchased rear end looks Sweet.
Thanks for vids well informed.👌👌👌
Chris Lewis Awesome, I’m glad my videos are helpful! Here is a link for the rear upper and lower. I try to purchase as many parts/bodies/chassis from Kenon Hobby since they are the US distributors for PN Racing & I want to support PN since they make the best aftermarket parts.

Thanks BMR.
I live in the UK so import tax does put prices up
chris lewis ah, I see. Yes that would be a bit of an issue, maybe you could send a message to PN Racing’s Facebook page and purchase direct from them?
There is a movie on yt as someone tests Front One Way Sinohobby. Did you have any replacements? Is it worth buying original parts
What do you mean by original? If you mean Kyosho brand, then yes, I would purchase a Kyosho brand front one way over a Sinohobby front one way since the Kyosho will have perfect fitment. You can always shim the Sinohobby tho
After mounting the Front Oneway Unit in the front, do I need to replace any other parts with better ones?
If your swing arms are working and not broken, there is no need to replace anything further
@@BMR3 and parts like Hard Universal Swing Shaft should be installed
ado gde yes but only if the stock ones are broken, or you want a cool color (like I did)
@@BMR3 Many thanks for your answers. It is a pity that I live so far from you :)
ado gde it sucks, there are zero mini-z clubs or even indoor RC tracks near me. I’m all alone out here lol
Nice ferrari, I've posted a link somewhere on one of your comments for a blue 355 on ebay. Ps need a shot of your cat admiring the drifting rc cars 😉
Haha I will try to film him watching me, but I may need to recrute the wife to help film it lol Thanks for the tip on the F355!
