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 [...]
What’s up gang? Evol checking in again this time with another update on my scale drift track build. So far we have added some nice scale elements from Tetsujin, NZO, and a few choice items from your local DIY store. You can check out those volumes to get caught up on Part 1 , Part 2 and Part 3. Up [...]
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 [...]
Whats up drifters? Evol here with another hot off the press product for the RC drift movement. Team Tetsujin who I’ve written of plenty of times in the past got in touch with me to tell me about their new version of the Super Rim. Tetsujin are very proud of the fact they they had the worlds first 2 piece [...]
Weld Overdose previewed this little gem that they are displaying at the 2015 Shizuoka Hobby Show. It would seem that the ultra high end of the ultra high end drift manufacturers is embracing the “plastic fantastic” and releasing this new car in an all resin version. Looks to be shaft drive with an inline battery layout, rear motor and rear [...]
What’s up drifters? Evol here with some more cool kit for your RC drift car. This week I got the new Yeah Racing GC301 drift gyro to help you get your slide on. It’s a funny thing about gyros, some consider them cheating, but on RWD they are considered almost necessity. On the 4WD side of things I used [...]
What’s up drift peeps, Evol here with another installment of the Drift Itch. This week’s itch is aimed at those RC folks on the sidelines who have the “itch” to try RC drift but maybe they feel like they don’t have the funds to throw at a fully blinged carbon and billet drift sled. Well I’m here to tell ya [...]
What’s up drift peeps? Evol here with a midweek second look at a piece of kit that some of you may have overlooked. I know I did! So here is how it happened. When I see parts listed for the Overdose Vacula my eyes tend to glaze over as I daydream about having enough expendable income to drop such a [...]
Is RWD drifting here to stay? If the industry is any indication it is. It seems like every RC Drift company either already has one (a rear wheel drive) or is currently working on one. The idea of it is fantastic and watching videos of them in action is very compelling, but in practice it can be very difficult. So [...]
More scale drift track stuff? You’d think I would get sick of this stuff but I just cant get enough! Yeah Racing teased these 3D printed track barrier prototypes on their Facebook page last December and I’ve been waiting for them to come out ever since. It seems they are very close to coming to market as there have been [...]
It would seem that the trend in super high-end drift machines moving to more affordable versions is spreading. R31House’s GRK drift platform was one of the more expensive and rare drift chassis on the market. Now in cooperation with RC Mart, R31House is releasing the GRK Global chassis to be a little more friendly on the wallet. The 299 dollar [...]
What’s up drifters? Evol here with another installment on my Scale Drift Track build. My drift club recently got asked to do a demo at a local shopping mall so my time table on putting together a lot of these goodies to create a scale drift course ended up getting very compressed. I had just enough time to get some [...]
