Hey gang, Evol here with some “fresh from my bench” pics of the D9 Bulldog 1/10th drift chassis from Dean Tech . Somehow this thing has gone from this crazy idea to being in the “flesh” sitting on my bench in a matter of a few weeks. I’m a little gobsmacked over the whole deal. Special thanks to thebuildrc.com for [...]
Whats up gang, Evol here with another Drift Itch. Not a heck of a lot of news this week but I have a few updates if you have been following the Itch for a while. Weld Overdose posted on their Facebook feed recently that the formerly called “spaceship chassis” (or whatever it was) has officially been postponed, but it finally has [...]
Whats up drifters! Evol here again with another edition of Drift Itch and I’m pretty stoked to finally be writing about this car i’ve been obsessing over for the last few months. The Sakura D4 is finally in hand and it’s one of the most exciting platforms to come along in a while. While it borrows some key design elements [...]
Whats up gang, Evol here with my latest musings on RC Drift on the Big Squid of RC. So I know a lot of you look at RC drift and go, “man it looks cool, but I don’t wanna drop the cash to get into it”, or maybe its “My wife will kill me if I buy ANOTHER RC car” I [...]
What’s up gang, Evol here. Finally got my hands on the new Sakura D4. Thought I might show you guys some initial images and early thoughts of this highly anticipated drifter. Early observations are that while the box denotes both AWD and RWD versions all the parts needed to build either are not included. This feels like something that may [...]
The Yeah Racing Shock Gear aluminum dampers are a low cost suspension tuning set for your 1/10th scale drifter or touring car. Low cost doesn’t mean low quality however. Just looking at the packaging you can tell that they mean business. This sub 30 dollar set of shocks includes four anodized threaded aluminum dampers, five sets of springs in different [...]
So if you keep up on RC Drift at all you see some strange stuff floating around the internets. People doing all sorts of weird things that they swear is the hot setup. Even in the racing world every club has a mad scientist who is always doing something a little weird just to keep themselves interested. This thing that [...]
If you’re like me and always looking for scale goodies to dress up your track or photo diorama you might want to check out these scale jack stands from Yeah Racing. There seems to be a bit of confusion on the manufacturer website about weather these are 3 ton or 6 ton. I can tell you that since these things [...]
So when RC Mart asked me to take a look at their newest bit of kit how could I say no? The R31house GRK Global has been on my radar since word of its existence came out a few weeks ago. What was once a very rare and exclusive chassis is now going to be available to the masses since [...]
Two weekends ago Yatabe Arena in Japan hosted the 2015 1/10th Scale Worlds Warmup Race where some of the most talented RC racers in the world came together to prepare for the actual Worlds race this October. Why is this significant to a bunch of us non-racers who like to slide around corners? As some of you may already know [...]
Asiatees shot us over a note that they are accepting pre-orders for the highly anticipated Sakura D4. Along with it they shared a few more details like the car is to be sold in 2 versions (AWD and RWD) killing my assumptions that this will be a convertible kit. The RWD version will feature alloy extensions for the steering rack [...]
Hey gang Evol here again with some cool drift related products I spied on the internets this week. Firebrand RC is back this time with a scale highway barrier to dress up your track or photo diorama. These guardrail kits look very similar to the existing units on the market available from other manufacturers (which are cheaper) but I notice small [...]
MST just released these photos of a low profile servo recently that comes in all sorts of spiffy MST colors. Called the DX251L this servo features metal gears and a brushless motor. The design is a drift friendly low profile case but the specs should make it suitable for about any 1:10 scale on or off-road application. Specs are [...]
Whats up drifters? Evol here with the latest Drift Itch. Lots of news in RC Drift land this week so lets jump right into it. Looks like Asiatees was the first to lay hands on the new Sakura D4 outside of 3racings circle. I’ve been wanting a good up close look at this chassis and while their description of the car [...]
So continuing down the road laid with my last Itch column “Plastic Fantastic” which can conveniently be read here if you have not seen it. This week we will round up the best RTR drift missiles in the entry level category. Now I know the appeal of buying a ready to run. For those entering the hobby for the first [...]
