r/c cars, grip and drift.

[Dolph_KYAS13]

Trying to replicate my car, I have access to a 3D printer and will eventually print all my Aero. I've printed my Nismo wheels and have ordered some Falken Azenis drift tires for them. The chassis is an old Tamiya TT-01 I got when I was 14 or so.







I will update as more progress is made.

[crzsteveo]

wwwoooaah what??? 3d printed wheels??!

dude if you can get aero made....youll have a monopoly going for yourself lol

[-=DRIFT*SQUAD=-]

Seriously! ^^^^ how much to make me sexy style aero for an FC body!?

[Super_OK_S13]

Haven't posted in a while.

***what printer/software did you use to print the wheels? Dolph_KYAS13 what software did you use to design them? and what site or place did you print/ship them from?


Made a replica of my truck. =)







picture of my truck for reference.

I have a fortus 400C FDM printer at work. I am product designer and use solidworks CAD software all day so its not too difficult to quickly model up my rims or wangan wing



Love your actual build by the way. I think ill post a build thread of my r32 once I make more progress. Lots of custom printed/ machined parts

I see a side job in your future lol

"whats that you say? Rocket bunny kit? 3pc wheels? Coming right up" l

^^^yes please!! Did I mention fc sexy style aero would be sweet???? Lol

[crzsteveo]

^aero is already hard to find in jayland. It took me a few months to get some VSKF wheels here. now they are all sold out.

the only aero they have is for the 240 bodies, and those are not hard to find.

although a plastic aero piece would be heavy, it would still be better.

shit, even a 1/10th scale 3d printed body would be sick!

[Felipe]

you sir must feel like this...

[Wake]

Hey felipe. I now have 3 yoks, 2 sprint2s, and and exceed.

Thanks for the new expensive car habit.

[Felipe]

your welcome.

hows that exceed?

[Felipe]

im barely recovering... and in a few months ill be able to start buying crap again lol

[Felipe]

want!!!!!!!!

so did you make the spoiler from scratch in solid works? or do you have access to a 3d scanner tool? I tried to learn solid works, but i just cant get the hang of it. i can however make simple 3d models in AutoCAD. i was thinking of sending some stuff to a 3d print shop or somewhere that can print stuff.


Painted some new wheels for Carlisle Performance and Style Demo...

[Felipe]

That first picture by the concrete. Look almost real.

[Gucci mane]

I'm looking for rc car complete package deal. If anyone want to
Sell let me know on here. Thanks

apparently that shit is quite simple to make. its just a bbq lighter taken apart, and a y harness and add another servo in the back so when you turn a certain direction, the servo will hit the lighter/pull the trigger.

[crzsteveo]

I posted on this thread then I went out for a sesh lol.

Hey, any sites where i can research drift rc cars? I want to learn about which chassis i would consider getting if i decieded to buy one.

rwd or 4wd etc. I think its fascinating the amount of work some people put into these things, its awesome!

Good luck on rwd

Google it theres tons of info.

hey its almost impossible to drift rwd always 4wd the sakura d3 cs sport is perfectly balanced and is an amazing beginner car that has a huge upgrade market also black star hobbies and like yea

I bet if you looked into a gyro it would help. but you typically need 70+ degrees of lock on RWD


RWD is for sure harder. BUT.... I have driven one and know a couple guys that said its harder to go back to CS after getting used to RWD.

(MOST) RWD guys use a GYRO to help control the steering input, and most of the gyros almost eliminate the need to steer and rather make you control the car by smooth throttle input/weight transfer (as it felt that way when I drove one, compared to my CS chassis). A friend recently posted a new gyro he bought that let him control the cars steering more manually than the stock gyro that came with the kit.

Its not just a matter of taking an AWD chassis and removing the drivetrain from the front and controlling the car manually. theres HOURS upon HOURS of getting the setup you like into making a RWD chassis driveable. the amount of tire setups (for different surfaces), suspension geometry setups (according to the surface and tire compounds), steering angle adjustment (same as suspension setups). RWD is just as close to 1:1 drifting other than some of the crazy suspension/steering geometry tricks on 1/10.

im sure you can turn a high end CS kit into a RWD chassis. But the RWD chassis are designed for specific weight distribution and geometry. plus the companies that make option parts to expand the chassis' tuning ability widens with RWD specific kits/parts.

I definetly am not the RC god but I have been around/through the different stages (AWD/CS/RWD) of drifting since 2005.

Belt or shaft?

[Wake]

Probably one of each.
my chick got pretty good too. i got 2 more mr4s

I showed you my local track right?

[Felipe]

I want to say yesno lol post up them up here
