In this video, we build a unique looking Sakura D5 MR RC drift rig that performs very well, at a budget price. This is a perfect setup for a loaner rig, a rental rig, or just another to add to the fleet. To keep the video from becoming any longer, we did not include drift footage. Drift footage of this rig will be released in upcoming videos, also with a comparison to a popular D5 clone.

Seems this is the best way to drift RC. Seeing how pretty much everyone swaps out 75% of the parts from RTRs.. doubling or tripling costs. Might as well pick and choose parts from the get go.
@turtlelaboratories

True! Also, purchasing flashy parts doesn't usually help with performance, unless it has more adjustability as a result. Shiny parts do look great, though!

I want to add a very positive comment on Turtle Lab’s portable workstation he features on his videos . I purchased one and so have done a few car/trike builds using it. I find it a very enjoyable workstation, conveniently placing the tools in front of you and even capturing accidentally dropped items during the course of the build. I went with the steel for toughness and the ability to use magnetized lights anywhere on the workstation. I ordered the max setup for everything to take advantage of all the capacity it offers. I find this workstation setup a really nice addition to RC working table setup and really adds to my RC build/maintenance enjoyment . A+ on the workstation Turtle Labs!

So I've learned a lot thru my different adventures in rc. Built alot of crawlers, bashers, got back into airbrushing the body's again. And I have several different road cars at this point. Vxl 4tec, an old tc4, and a carbon and aluminum, belt drive tc6. I'm considering turning the tc6 into a drifter(gut the front drive line and build my own angle kit. I have no idea how it's going to turn out, but I have a welder, and ideas. This thing looks awesome man.

@turtlelaboratories Рік тому
After going down this RC drift road, from other disciplines of RC (I also made a "drift" car from a TC3 about 20 years ago. 4wd powerslider, really). I would recommend just getting a proper drift chassis. It really does make a difference. If you go with a modified touring car, it may not ever drive very well, and you may get discouraged quickly.

Hey I’m new to the rc drifting hobby, what is turbo and boost exactly? What is it used for? Do you need a specific motor and esc for it?
@turtlelaboratories
@turtlelaboratories Рік тому
Boost and turbo increase motor timing after a certain threshold that you set within the ESC, using a program box. This gives an instant increase in speed to overcome longer sweeps, or to correct a mistake, and it sounds cool! You will want a motor that can withstand the higher timing, and it isn't to be used all the time. Not all ESCs are capable of boost and turbo. The one used on this car is one of the cheapest ESCs capable, and it is actually a very nice unit, too.

It will depend on that electronics you go with. Many times, and ESC will come with some wires attached, but sometimes they don't. You can get silicone insulated wire on amazon. Make sure you get the proper gauge for the amperage you will be running!

My question is, does this Sakura D5 holds its own with other top brands like Yokomo and MST? Does it have any potential to be competitive?
@turtlelaboratories
@turtlelaboratories Рік тому
i am not a professional RC driver. More of a recreational driver. However, I have seen Sakura D5 cars podium at events from internet coverage. In my opinion, any of the top manufactured chassis' can be tuned to perform well, and it is more about the Driver's ability than the components on the car. Don't get me wrong, higher dollar components are typically better, but Driver performance can take all.
