EXACLTY!!! Really surprised me!

Agree! They are releasing some very interesting stuff!

You got that right!!! This is a legit chassis!

Yes! They have really done well with this one!

Thanks! I think you will like it! I had the MST 2.5 RTR on backorder - let it drop for this.

Glad to be a bad influence!! :) Hope you enjoy it.

It's available for you to drive whenever! :)

They really did a good job on this one!

It really is!

They really are!

Thanks for watching! I 100% agree - they really provided a proper chassis here.

You got that 100% correct!

I really am!!! Rarely does a company come in and challenge the established brands in a niche!

Awesome! Hope you like it. More videos coming out over the next few days.

@@RoadsideRC anxiously waiting for your follow up videos. Thank you sir.

They say, "coming soon"!

Great!

Agree 100%!!!!

Thank you for the kind words!

You folks did a great job as well! Glad we were able to be part of the pre-release cool-kids! :)

Wow, thanks!

Thanks Tank!

It really is a good drift car, for sure!

Hey! You do exist!!!

It really is a great way to expand the RC drift scene!

Looking at the redcat site they seem to be priced at $400. Nice looking chassis and beating out mst for a rtr setup. And i love my mst rmx 2.0s kit too. Just gettin out of drift

Thank you!

It is!

Yes they did!

Agree! Should really help folks get into RC drifting!

@@RoadsideRC can’t wait to see your upgrades and experiments on it

You are right! They have come a long way in the quality of their vehicles!

I'll be happy to let you!!

The RTR components are rather good - but they might just offer a slider/kit!

Kit version is coming soon.

It might be!

It is the bind plug!

@@RoadsideRCawesome, thanks for the reply!

I will eventually get to upgrading the electronics. I really want to give a lot of folks the chance to try it stock first - then I will eventually upgrade other parts.

Great! Glad you have it coming. You run the gyro as high as possible, but avoiding gyro wobble. Yes, you can fit many different bodies on it.

@@RoadsideRC Redcat Rds does not have tutorials and installations of the parts, could you please make a video of how the servo is installed and the upgrade of the aluminum servo horn RER19685 part. When Redcat Rds arrived I want to install that part since they told me that it is delicate and breaks easily.

It is all about weight transfer. With driving on a smooth surface - with slick tires, the car does not generate a lot of cornering force. So raising the COG can help with weight transfer.

@@RoadsideRC thank you, good to know

Thank you for the tip! Chevelle is a 1971. Thanks!

The RDS that the store has in stock - is it the kit instead of the RTR (ready to run)? For most folks - it is smarter to start with a RTR (either the Redcat, Yokomo, or MST) and then modify the car from there.

Thanks!

I hope you enjoy it!

Just to be clear - which new Sakura? Did I miss one?

@@RoadsideRC May not be new but the D5 MRS V2.0 KIT

I have a goal to make a video about the Chevelle. Stay tuned!

Yes! You will see some of that in my upcoming video as I change the alignment on this car to suit my style.

@@RoadsideRC awesome. Can’t wait to see what the improvements are. Will you also do a comparison down the line between some rtr’s ?

@@lexeg1 Working on that now! Probably a few weeks away.

Both are great choices!

100%!!!!

I use this one: amzn.to/3wZ5YqZ

Thank you

1) slow return of steering. This is a feature of the gyro. It helps reduce gyro wobble. It is a good thing, you don't want to change this. 2) pushing. Very common for new driver. Nothing to change on the car for this. No new tires needed. These cars will NOT turn unless the rear wheels are spinning. Keep driving, keep practicing!!!

@@RoadsideRC isn't it if it's in the stability control mode that the steering is slow to return? Even if I reverse channel 3 on my transmitter, I'm not seeing a difference.

@@percivale6511 You can not change it with the factory controller. That setup is good - just keep practicing.

@@RoadsideRC Yes, I got the FlySky GT3C you recommended in one of your other videos :) I installed it, binded the receiver and set the endpoints and recalibrated the ESC throttle and steering as you showed us how to. However, the steering is still acting weird, I'm not sure if I got a defective gyro or servo but it's not acting correctly :( . Also, thank you for the advice on the steering push, I have been practicing and am starting to get better. Sorry for all the noob questions. I'm 44 now and have been out of RC for over 20 years, and your videos sparked that fire again. It's a bit overwhelming for me so I really do appreciate your help brother! I also have a Futaba GYD-470 and that budget steering servo and motor and ESC that you recommended in one of your other videos to throw in it later, but I'm trying to do one thing at a time as you recommended so that I can see the difference in the upgrades. I also have a Futaba T4PM :) I have 12 RC cars, this is just my first 2WD drift car :) The reason I'm using the FlySky instead of the Futaba on this is because I'm trying to get it dialed in for my Nephew to drift with me, I bought myself a Yokomo SD 2.0 to use with my T4PM but the Reve-D servo was on backorder for 2 months, I receive that tomorrow. Also, I hadn't even thought about getting a crawler and then I saw your RidgeRock video and bought 4 of them..... now the whole Fam has them! :)

Hello! The short answer for this question is, yes. I do believe it is a good car to start with and have fun. Here is the longer answer: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/sYKeqY5rZIt_znk.html

All of the typical 200mm 1/10 bodies folks use for drifting.

@@RoadsideRC ok so the 260mm wheelbase of the RDS wont be too big. Im just looking to get into drifting and this came along right as I was hunting for a used Yokomo YD SXiii. I think Im just going to go this route instead, upgrade to a better transmitter and maybe a better gyro and put a different body on it.

@@WW614 Makes sense.

When you say it doesn't re-center. Do you mean stuck turned all the way, or just a little off center?

@@RoadsideRC stuck turned all the way

@vroish5942 Sometimes this happens when (1) the car is off the ground - it changes the geometry. Shouldn't do it when sitting on the suspension. Or (2) when the steering is allowed to travel too far.

@@RoadsideRC oh ok thank you, how would I adjust the steering from traveling to far?

@@vroish5942 That is part of the gyro setup - limiting the end points.

A whole different level of vehicle for sure!

For me, yes!

Sure looks inspired by it!

What support are you concerned about?

@@RoadsideRC aftermarket parts replacement parts ........ I had a gen8 crawler from them and was down months bc couldn't get parts from them or after market

@@blakebickel8117 Good news - you don't really break stuff with drift cars.

@@RoadsideRC u don't know how I drive 🤣 but ya ur not wrong ..... U still need to make it to Knoxville drift

It does, in RWD drift, metal gears are unnecessary.

Yes. Most RWD drift cars are full plastic gears.

I'm happy to help. What issues are you having?

As soon as I start Grinding. the front wheels flip and lock.

Is meant to say driving

I bought the builder Kit

@@marshallkeves5145 Start here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/l2minnengGeG0Js.html What gyro do you have?

That is how it goes!

Yes - I do mess up sometimes. :)

It is rather good! Good things we change bodies anyway!

There is actually a QR code in the box that links to a full design explanation from the designer. It is really cool!
