- The new Yokomo RTR drift car: www.avantlink....
I have been having a lot of fun getting used to this new car from Yokomo.
However - it has been overall a little difficult to drift - and my theory is that is due to the stock alignment they ship it with.
In this video, I take the car to my local drift track and do some tuning to find a baseline tune that is BETTER than the factory setup.
This car is still stock except:
- DS Racing wheels, 1mm wider offset than stock: www.avantlink....
- Yokomo DRC tires: www.avantlink....
- ReveD RS-ST servo: www.avantlink....
- Yokomo DP-302v4 gyro: www.avantlink....
Yes - it is still running the stock brushed ESC and motor.

My kit edition of this had huge toe in and therefore hardly any steering angle (half what I would deem as normal) based on the 'factory settings' so this is helpful for its first outing. Thank you Troy. Happy New year mate
Interesting! Glad it was helpful1
Troy, I think that’s what my local team meant by the YD-2Z being “hard to drive”. Perhaps all it needed was just a proper set-up, something that I think most newbies will be too intimidated to do.
But that’s why I do enjoy the YD-2 and is a testament to just why they remain so popular.
Agree - the car is a handful, which might be great for more seasoned folks, but unfortunate for people just getting into the hobby - which is who this car is targeted towards.
@@RoadsideRC do you know it would be a really interesting comparison? What you feel the RTR car is, after your upgrades, after you’re tweaking versus the YD-2ZX, which is a high-end chassis with all the bling and the same electronic components put in it. I wonder if you would feel much difference in one compared to the other just comparing the chassis. I’d also be interested to see what the final cost difference was. One of the things I like about that kit is it has all the fancy nice upgrades but it’s very expensive. I am 100% new to this and looking at an RTR is obviously a cheaper way to go but then there’s the inherent upgrades that seem to be necessary… And based on your videos clearly some tweaking. I wonder how much the actual aluminum and carbon fibre upgraded components make when it comes to the actual driving feel of the vehicle. I wonder if it’s just a placebo effect. Because honestly if the stock chassis and all of the plastic parts, give you the same feel that’s a huge amount of money the average person could save.
Thanks once again! I did the front end exactly how you did. I might add a little more camber for my local track. It’s a hard surface, not carpet. Other than that, it looks way better than before… haha
Glad it helped! Yes - everyone will still need to modify from here for their specific situation!
This is great! Even though I don't have a Yokomo (I'm MST), I am a noobie so even learning the terminology and cause & effect of the different suspension settings is helpful.
Have you thought about doing side-work? Folks could send in their cars and you tune them for a fee? I don't have much of a drift community in my town so its hard to learn and pick up from others, but I feel there's a lot left on the table with my rig.
Thanks for your videos
Interesting idea!
I have done a few "rc drift rescue" videos that have been fun.
I'm a bigger supporter of folks learning to tune their own stuff though.
Absolutely couldn't agree more. Troy has helped me out a lot with the videos he has done. :)
Ode where you from. I am suffering from the same thing with little or no drift community in my area.

Could not be more “in the corner”.
Nice Video Troy. Im not a drifter but you did a great job keeping my attention👍👍👍
Same to me. Troy is natural teacher :-)
Awesome!
Thanks for the kind words!
Great video buddy 😎
Thanks!
good tips make it work better for your needs
*big like👍Au👀always a full watch*
Hi great vid, but my RD RTR has a different steering rack, it has one output hole, plus when it operates, it moves in a semi circle.
Interesting! Thanks.
These settings should still get you most of the way there.
@@RoadsideRC cheers for the reply, thought you would like to know the steering bellcrank of my RTR is similar to a 2.0, plus the steering upper arm the gap was measured by myself and the factory setting was 11mm, yes ! Plus the gyro kit fitted has a gain pot on it to adjust, no electronic buttons etc as per your vid.
@@keve2804 Love that they made changes!!! That is great!
My local rc shop fully assembly my yd2z and tell me that if front tyre to tyre wider than rear tyre to tyre then It will make car easy to control.
So he set my front wheel 6 mm+1 mm spacer= 7mm offset and rear 0 mm wheel+ 1 mm spacer offset.
But I don't know that difference because I'm just beginer.
What do you think or may be You can compare this to the next EP.?
Thank for sharing your setting I will try it!!!
Setting the front wider is a very common setup tool. Typically used more to help make the rear snappier.
Honestly, I find it typically has a minimal impact.
The wheels I have on the car now are adjustable offset, so would be easy enough to test.
Could you do a vid on upgrading the 4x2 arrma boost models to brushless please. Am a noob at rc and just got one but need more speed. No vids on them yet going brushless
Gav - sounds like a good idea for a video! Unfortunately, I do not have one of those vehicles.
I have a question I am looking for my first drift car. I live in Japan and I don’t really have a budget within reason. I read that the RTR is kind of a bad idea because the electronics are trash and you will be upgrading fairly quickly. I would also prefer to build the car vs pre-built. I am considering the RTR, YD-2dSX III, or YD-2zx……..any suggestions????
The answer really depends on your goals and your prior experience.
I assume there is a drift track near you, or you plan to travel to one. That is great - as the people there will be a GREAT resource to help you get everything setup correctly on your car.
If you have prior RC experience - combined with a track full of people to help you - then starting with a kit is a good idea. If you do not have those things, then I highly suggest you start with a RTR.
@@RoadsideRC unfortunately I’m extremely introverted and don’t really like approaching random people. I have never done it before but really like building models and what not. I normally prefer to buy high quality products vs temporary ones that might be frustrating. I am still considering the RTR, and maybe just immediately change the gyro/servo…..but also read the air shocks are meh. That’s why it just seemed to start at a better base
Have you done one of these videos for the Mst RMX 2.5 rtr ?
Not as explicit as this one, but this might help:
czcams.com/video/JASMtH1Igvc/video.html
hate to sound silly but you are making these adjustments bilaterally right? cause the first pictue only one side was changed and discussing the lower mounts point only one, basically i never heard you say, 'im doing both sides'. thanks in advance
Yes - both sides need to be done.
thanks for clarifying on thr pin but mine still doesnt look like yours, im dealign with some toe out and negative camber. i knwo you didnt touch the bottom but can you share settings
@@RoadsideRC
yep thats exactly what it was i eatched your video about 10 times and realized my bottom arm dont look like your, specifically i had no measurement marks visible, turns out mine where push in all the way from the box. driving way better now!!!!🤙🏾
@@ebenthomasrn219 That would make a big difference!
Hello I m a beginner and I just bought this for a while, I would like to change the wheels. May I know which offset should I choose thz!
Hello!
I went with these wheels, as they are adjustable offset. It lets you match exactly what you need for the body to fit: www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=el&merchant_id=4b85b2b7-558e-4304-89fc-54958c8f47f0&website_id=caf4cba5-8e5f-43be-93b7-934f1a36d50d&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amainhobbies.com%2Fds-racing-drift-element-5-spoke-drift-wheels-white-chrome-w-gold-rivets-2-dsc-de-011%2Fp1408141
Hey Troy, so I did the same exact adjustments for the alignment as you but the offset for my front wheels are still un-even. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
What do you mean by offset? Offset is typically a term related to the wheel design - nothing related with alignment.
@@RoadsideRC Thank you. That is my mistake, i should check my wheels
How does the RTR compare to the AC Z-version?
I have not had the AC version, so am not really sure.
Hey Troy I have a question do I have to change the wheels because I use the stock wheels on the yokomo rtr because the stock might hit the shocks when turning
You do not need to change the wheels.
You can change them if you want, and if it would help your setup.
You will find as you change the setup, the contact may go away.
Easier answer to to change the shock mounting location.
@@RoadsideRC I don’t know why but when I change the shocks mounting location the shocks become weak and cannot lift the car up
@@innoflores6304 You can then add more pre-load in the springs to counter that.
@@RoadsideRC but my springs are the friction shocks the one with no oil the original that comes with the rtr
@@RoadsideRC oh never mind I fixed the springs problem anyway thanks for your help!
How did you like to the rmx
It is a great way to get started in drifting!
Are those still the stock shocks?
Yes - still stock shocks and ESC/motor.
😁😁👍👍
i dont like that yokomo rtr at all but nice video!!
Thanks...
