Hello!

Since I don't have a track nearby, I just spend time like this and, I actually really, really love it!

I put Velcro on my tyres in order not to scratch the floor. I'm not sure whether it's drift or not though )))

But it's really fun!

I had to spend some time in order to figure out some settings. Of course, I still haven't found an ideal one and am sure that it's somewhat impossible but I'm experimenting heavily )))

Hello!

I'm quite a newbie with RC cars but I already have a decent number of them (two rally cars, one basher, two drift cars and one crawler).

For me, almost everything boils down to drift in some sense, whether it's a rally or bashing (not crawler thankfully but I also tried on snow). We don't have much sun and most of the year we have a bad weather. So, I actually noticed that a drift car works quite well for me. I may drift a bit right in my room between working tasks. I love it, really!

But today I heard an opinion that drifting is dying and crawlers are on the rise.

What do you think about that? I know it heavily depends on where you live.

I wish I lived in a house not in a flat, then I would definitely have a garage and make some kind of a track there.

And what's more about drifting - I find it just beautiful and really really pleasing. I love to control it, love when a car slides. It's cheaper that drifting on a real car which makes me love it even more.

Thanks to rc cars in general, I found out what caster, toe, ankermann angle is and how it actually works with real cars too. So, I really pleased with it.

Love it wit all my heart!

Hello!

I heard a lot of times about camber, toe, and tried to set up something.

I saw several videos but they sometimes are quite controversial.

Can you suggest good tutorials or maybe videos?

I have a Sakura D6 and I attached my current setup. I think I setup an ankerman angle properly and if I understood correctly, rear wheel should point inward and front outward, right?

I attached the photos of my chassis.

Thanks!

Hello!

Just built my Sakura a little while ago. It rode quite badly initially but it seems that I managed to understand why it was like that.

I so so much love how it performs!

It's not ideal right now (I'm waiting for a proper servo now) and I think, I'm going to experiment with settings BUT I love it!

This is a huge advantage of working from home )))

And the question for you all:

How to protect the floor from scratching?

Thanks!

Hello!

I've built my first drift car ever )

I choose Sakura D6 as a chassis

For motor and ESC I chose Hobbywing Xerun Justock 13.5T ( I bought a combo)

For gyro I chose FlySKY gc-401 (I'm waiting for afrc gyro now)

As for servo, I installed the wrong one - 40kg servo for rally cars. I had it and put it temporarily.

As for the body - I chose Killerbody Nissan R31.

To be honest I didn't expect that this car would ever ride but it does and it was even simpler than I thought.

Although there were some nuances I wish I knew before.

So, some issues which I currently have:

1. The light module from my killerbody requires ch1 and ch2 to be plugged in and after that to the receiver. It seems to disrupt electronics and the car behaves strangely.

2. Sakura fake brake discs have the issue when I try to secure wheels they stop rotating because these fake discs tightened to the hexes. So I took them out.

3. I had to purchase a hobbywing programming card in order to set the correct punch

4. I had to setup the throttle and steering curve on my transmitter in order to be able to control the car

So, a lot of work is still to be done.

Initially the car just spinned around because of the above issues. But now it's more predictable and controllable (but still not ideal).

And maybe the skill is the main issue here.

I would be really glad to hear some pearls of wisdom of how to set it up properly and maybe to change something.
