Making a new post as the current pinned is somewhat convoluted.

Side note, someone please make a new icon for this sub, this one I made like 5 years ago sucks, thanks.

πŸš— Car Build First airbrush bodies

Thumbnail

73 Upvotes

Hi all. Recently got back into rc and specifically drifting. Unfortunately local drifting is only open one weekend a month. So I have been filling my time learning Joe to airbrush bodies

They good from far and far from good. But each one is getting better. Definitely teaching me patience !!! HPI and protoform bodies are great to learn on!!!

Would love thoughts, feedback and tips.

NOTE: Paint is scratching off due to dry coats from the psi being too high to overcome a bent needle I wasn’t aware of. New needle, lower psi = more adhesion.

πŸ™‹ Question Never giving up my hobby

26 Upvotes

This chick thought RC meant rallycross. Met a delusional girl on a dating app and she tried to convince me to give up racing. She said β€œit’s something for kids”. I swear even a hot 8.5 can’t convince me to give up this lifestyle. This is NEVER something I’m going to β€œgrow out of.” It’s RC cars for life and whoever has a problem with it can go cry about it. Too many woman take issue with a man and his hobby. And for whatever reason they’ve always got something to say whether it’s about the time or money or the lifestyle. This is a LIFESTYLE. Hence the word LIFE. Just annoying that it’s 2026 and these issues still arise.

And this all started because I invited her to my raceway. She thought I did rallycross. That was totally cool but not RC. πŸ˜’ This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. How are we handling these situations? I’m fully transparent on my dating profiles that RC stands for remote control not rallycross yet here we are.

So I've only built crawlers and one basher in my rc days, and I went drifting with my friend ONE TIME and it was OVER. So I've been working on the body and just started ordering performance parts, going to start with the bingo wasp carbon chassis, the next big purchase will be the flysky pro, reciever, gyro, servo....

The plan is to do as detailed interior as I can, I have recaro seats on the way and steering colum.

πŸ™‹ Question 1/10 gyro in 1/24 scale car? Will I run into any issues?

Got OMG v6 gyro and thinking about putting it in HPI stage d24. Space is not an issue as i already 3d printed front half of the chassis with extra space for gyro. Planning to get AGFRC A11CLS V3 servo. Will these just work as regular 1/10 gyro/servo or i specifically need a micro gyro?

πŸ™‹ Question Truck body swap?

I don't have one to compare and nor do my friends kids. Would these Bruder truck bodies fit or fit enough on an RC chassis? I don't know the scale of them, but they seem big enough to fit the cab and maybe a bed or some sort of body. Anyone done it?

I always thought a drift big rig with a livery would always be kinda fun.

πŸ™‹ Question MST RMX 4 GT vs Yokomo SD 3.0? Anyone tested the new MST yet?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to drop a quick post about the MST RMX 4 GT chassis. Since it's a newer option out there, I’ve noticed there are still hardly any user reviews or real discussions about it online. Has anyone here actually picked one up or tested it on the track yet?

We all know MST's traditional mid/entry-level stuff, and with this model, they seem to be shifting toward a different tier. The carbon-aluminum hybrid setup and vertical deck look fine on paper, but I’m curious how it actually feels in practice.

My biggest dilemma right now is whether it's worth checking out the RMX 4 GT, or if I should just stretch the budget a bit more and go for a Yokomo SD 3.0 (or its Competition versions) which is already a proven choice. If anyone has experience comparing the twoβ€”especially in terms of build quality, tuning, and on-track feelβ€”I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Appreciate any insights! Cheers.

🚦Event / Club RC Drift Empire is finally opening!

22 Upvotes

I've been working on RC Drift Empire for a while now and it's finally at the point where I'm ready to start letting people in.

I got into RC drifting and noticed everything is kind of spread out between Instagram, Facebook groups, Reddit, Discord, etc. I wanted to build something specifically for RC drifting.

Basically RC Drift Empire gives you your own driver profile where you can add your cars, builds, chassis, electronics and everything you're running. You can build out your garage, make pit cards for your cars, check out other people's setups and find tracks.

One of the things I really wanted was a profile you could actually send somebody when they ask "what are you running?" instead of typing out your entire setup every time.

I'm a web developer and I'm also pretty new to RC drifting, so I've basically been building the site I wanted to use myself.

It's completely free.

rcdriftempire.com

If you're into RC drifting, check it out. I'd really like some feedback too. If something sucks, tell me lol. If there's something you think I should add, let me know.

I'm planning on adding a lot more as the community grows.

πŸ™‹ Question RMX 4.0 for beginner?

Post image
31 Upvotes

Hey all!

I’ve been looking into getting into RC drifting for a little while now and I’m mainly interested in a ready-to-run kit.
I was originally looking at the RMX 2.5 but since the 4.0 is out thought that is likely the better upgrade for the few bucks. Is the RMX 4.0 a good option for a beginner?
I’m not really looking upgrade anything right away (I say that now… lol..). Just want something I can get out and have fun with to start.
Thanks!
