Totally agree with you the steering angle and alignment can have quite an impact on drivability. I remembered to use your amain link ordering some setup tools. I've been using the basic camber and toe tools so far but wanted to try an actual setup station. Thanks for all your helpful videos, it's make the rc drift scene more accessible (at least for me) 👍
@RoadsideRC Рік тому
Andy - thanks for the kind words and for using the Amain link! Glad I have been able to help!
@IowaBudgetRCBashers Рік тому
Great tips. That’s great that they put those adjustments into the gyro. I’d imagine that a lot of rtr’s don’t have that feature.
@RoadsideRC Рік тому
You are correct!
@gfyracing7632 Рік тому
Good video. This is one reason I like the MST better as a beginner. It is ready to go out of the box.
@RoadsideRC Рік тому
Every vehicle has some suggested tweaks out of the box. No matter who the manufacturer is.

Hi, I've been watching (subscribed) your videos on drifting and was wondering what your opinion was on running a non-sensored brushless system in a D5 (mid motor). Specifically a 60a 4370kv system (inexpensive). Thank you
@RoadsideRC Рік тому
Honestly - instead of going that route, I would rather run a brushed setup. It would have more control than a cheap brushless setup. Either that, or just keep saving a little more money until you can go sensored.

I bought the RDS Kit. Pretty excited about the attention to detail from Redcat on the RDS. BUT --- I didn't want to buy another rtr electronics package. Wanted to ask you what electrics would you recommend to run on the RDS Kit? Radio/rcvr is going to be Futaba but, I'm very interested in the rest of the electric components you'd recommend. /// Enjoyed the video on tips before you run the RDS! Well done.
@RoadsideRC Рік тому
This video shows you all of the components I use and recommend: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/bF2Jf3ymhmOXsGQ.html

I ordered two of these little beasties. Wonder how well one will run with some Vintage Trans Am wheels tire combo and some meticulous tuning.
@RoadsideRC Рік тому
I bet they will do great!

I want to buy another set of wheels and drift tires for my RDS, and I need a piece of information. Can you please tell me what wheel offset is recommended for the RDS?
@tandemrc73 Рік тому
Stock wheels are a 6 offset and would recommend not going under 6 for maximum angle.
@jamesmorrell2901 Рік тому
@@tandemrc73 Thanks so much! I haven't been able to find that info on any site, including Redcat's site.

Anyone who put leds in the stock body what size fits it? An also i feel like mine didn't come with the pieces that you screw in behind the led to keep it in the bucket? Unless it doesnt come with those
@RoadsideRC 4 місяці тому
Sorry - I never put lights in mine.
@danelivelsberger1731 Рік тому
I got my hands on an RDS and I’m not happy with the steering system. The whole assembly is held by the screw that goes into the servo spine which is upside down. The whole assembly is very flimsy and makes the car inconsistent. Any thoughts?
@RoadsideRC Рік тому
Interesting! I haven't noticed anything flimsy about it. Mine is rock solid!
@danelivelsberger1731 Рік тому
@@RoadsideRC I think being plastic the servo horn/system develops a small amount of play and causes the steering system to flop up and down.
@HBFBajaRacer Рік тому
@@danelivelsberger1731 Make sure the screw going into the servo is tight. There's a bit of thread lock on it from the factory, but it's possible yours got loose.
@danelivelsberger1731 Рік тому
@@HBFBajaRacer great idea but we gave that a try and it still wanted to make its way loose after a few minutes. I’ll add more thread lock but I’m still not really a fan.

I'm sorry David. You must have done something else that caused that. I am still running exactly as I show in this video, with all of the same parts that came in the car.
@HBFTimmahh Рік тому
axle and axle stubs are likely cut with 1/2 to 1 too many threads to the shoulder at the end of the thread... a washer between the hex and wheel may help this.
@RoadsideRC Рік тому
That is a great point!
@HBFTimmahh Рік тому
@@RoadsideRC Or a wider hex may be a simple solution.
