These are incredible! I love mine, and got one for my brother too

Hello my friend and thanks for the video, i want to ask you to point me in the direction of affordable aliexpress tires like those you show, i want tires for a basher with beadlock rims, thats my goal. Thanks in advance for your time. @Fast_Lane_RC

I am just beginning in the hobby and my R1001 came yesterday: when I steer left/right the front wheels dont turn smoothly anymore.. maybe something binding, or maybe normal at hight steering angle? Cant see or feel anything wrong as I took parts of the front axle apart..so not sure.. Thinking about simply trying out the trx4 knock-off axles from the link in the video description: just to make sure, those axles can drop right into the r1001? If yes, maybe worth a try.. thank you for this great content. Helps ke understand the mechanics behind it all :)

I have recently installed one of these and love it! The only strange thing is that I'm running 2s with it have the bec on 7.4 and I noticed on my remote that shows voltage when it gets down to around 7.3 volts it starts cutting esc no matter what I set low voltage cut off at on or off. Thinking this system needs 3s is issue. Not positive on that but yeah weird.

Lots of ppl are using a $20 Dasmickro v5 :)

I think the signal light is dopey too. But you can unplug a single wire for the signal light. It’s one of the inner 2 wires for each side of the tail lights.

hello, question about the motor. did you simply cut the wires and replace the connector with the JST connector, or did you buy a new motor that had a JST? If the latter, what motor did you use?

I bought 2 classic AE86 LDRC models recently. Out of the box, the left rear ball joints on both cars were loose and detached coming out of the box. I didn’t notice it on the first car, but did on the second one. With the first car, I didn’t notice but the ball joint on the left side popped out of the car causing the left rear wheel to cease propelling the car forward. The car would only provide power to the right wheel, but the car still drove normally and I thought this was normal, until I saw the broken bearing. The light connector was also disconnected but I was able to correct that. I tried but unsuccessfully had the ball joint beating repaired and re-ordered a replacement car. The second car had that same ball joint detached from the motor coming out of the box. I was able to reattach and I monitored the car on a test run to make sure it didn’t pop out and it was good there. I then was trying to mod it for drifting with the drift tires and drift gyro I ordered for it. While doing drift testing, that same ball joint on the left snapped. I took it home and tried replacing it with the good working joint and tried to keep that joint in place with glue, but that messed it up and I couldn’t get the car to go both forward and reverse with even the replacement ball joint. The motor didn’t like it with those joints glued in. Had to disassemble the motor, take that gear out and chip in there to get the joint removed. I was able to get the joint out and tried reattaching, but it was hit/miss in getting it to go forward and backward. Eventually, another joint snapped. Tried fixing it with glue and trying attaching again but no go. Very faulty classic models with failing parts. That’s 2 cars gone!! I found the actual drift model though and I’m gonna hope it don’t come with faulty parts out of the box. On 2 strikes and this will be strike 3 if the car comes in with faulty joints!

Hey bro my problem isn't with the upper arms that move freely but I have a problem with my left back lower arm that's binding badly but I can't seem to figure out how to pop it out, did you figure out how to get them off the chasis?

First crawler law= work the best for me!

Top speed?

You need G03 for anti glitching system AGS to reduce wobble.

do you have tutorial on suspension and lock wheels?😊

I have a question if I just like change all the axle to like the one for trx4 will it work I also have the jeep trx4 clone

I have this and and 2 of the others the metal body is way better than the plastic ones Give it a much heavier feel and it handles much better because of this I think your surface might be to slippy so it’s a negative for you

Very good rc car . Thanks :-)

I've tried RBRC gyro with higher gain (70%) without wobble by using shorter servo rack. It doesn't drift high angle but more stable.

👍

i wonder the height og both side wheels are not even , is this normal ? or i need to tune ?

Nice built. I bought 2 of these kits 3 years ago. Finally got the first one working perfectly; now because I am more experienced working with 1/28 scale. Just about finishing the second one, but I could not find FT-MiniD anywhere, not even Aliexpress. Could it be these elegantly designed cars are too expensive to manufacture and they decided to quit? Comments?

I’ve got the HB cloned TRX4 that these axles come on. Same with mine, the hole for the pin on the stub axle is really close to the portal housing. Even stock the hex rubs on the portal housing. I had to go through every hex set that I had to find a set that has a very shallow scallop for the pin. The Axial hexes were pretty good but I did find a set that worked well. Surprising that I haven’t seen this issue raised on reviews before. Mine works fine now with the right hexes.

Thanks for the detailed review! I was just checking these out on Aliexpress and wondering if they are any good. I might get one now after watching this :)

I got mine yesterday... never drifted before..i spent some time adjusting car to where i like it for now...ran it on carpet,tile and a board...lots of fun,definitely much different than any rc car i ever drove...maybe i might order that dasmikro v5 for it...but as bad as i am at drifting it may not help...Do you find the stock radio and gyro are desent or better than previous generations?...so far i lowered it using those clips and added a dab of e6000 to them so they don't pop off..i also removed front spring and bent it so that both wheels have equal tension and travel and do not hit wheel wells at all... Very cool car for indoors..what a deal for $60 ..i actually like its remote,lights are amazing also...😊

Hello, great video. I'm waiting for mine to do the same tests. What surface material do you use to train?

I hope you pickup the new ldrc silver and blue diecast drifter...i watched some reviews on it and supposedly its the best drifter stock so far...i ordered mine a few days ago and it will be my very first drift car..thanks for sharing all your tweaks and drifting knowledge...

drive to wrench in turn have to wrench to drive. good job on the video, it made me sub. From Alberta❤❤❤❤

Thats a lot of play in those end bearing surfaces, i wonder if it would take a shim made from a thin brass tube....

Nice review, informative.

I love mine. A tip for anyone new to the hobby like me sweep the floor just 1 long hair will end the fun. It didn't take long until I had to strip mine and clean out hair then after max 1min of driving it stopped moving. I put it away 😠for a few days thinking I'd messed it up and it was probably just a cheap piece of junk but after stripping it again it was just a hair again 🙂

So these have ball bearings? Thanks for sharing

It is alot cheaper! Ill send links later

Battery technology and capacity?

Maybe you said it but I might have missed it. Is the steering proportional and what’s the runtime?

The big one belongs to your future 911. It has bigger tires :)

Nice break down and review of these axles. Like most of the China stuff a little DIY goes a long way. I have the AMK Rock Jock clones under my 1.9 Wraith and I've been surprised how the internals have held up. I didn't mind having to do some modifications to the knuckles for proper smooth steering myself at the price point IMO considering the Vanquish stuff is absurdly over priced my opinion though. I think lots of people buy these cheaper options thinking slap in and go, but like you just explained here you have to take your time and sort these options out and don't expect $600 quality for an eigth of the price. I have a set similar to what you have here I haven't installed into anything as of yet. Also would swapping out to some better quality bearings maybe cure your play you experienced in the axle stub end? I've ran into the China bearings to not be exact spec myself as well. Thanks for sharing with us

Aluminum tape is a good shim also. Thanks for showing me a breakdown of this style of axles.

You could have tried to run it without the body. Since i want to change the body anyway - if the gyro on this so good that i dont have to change it this would speak vor this over the RX7 ones.

What is that surface? Is it a mat?

Very interesting video, thanks for your help bro!🤩💥💯😃👍

Strangely that can't be found on aliexpress, even a google search found nothing but your video.

2:00 You can really handle that, i did not manage to drift relatively controlled like this, maybe your surface helps a little. Agreed awesome value, love mine.

I do grip style with 1/43 ldarc crawler wheels. Is a very good car, I Made teflon bearings in rear axel and front center because it has holes with the time. Fit 0.1mm springs softer and more travel. We can make a rear shocks if we drill a hole in the upper case just in the axel.

How to make the tubular body?

Nice vid, I've been waiting for someone to do something with this. I got the same kit and bought the 2 wheel conversion kit also. I wish I didn't in the end because it just doesn't drive well, not enough angle and there's more angle on one side. I spent countless hours trying to correct it aswell as too much money on extra parts. It just has no business trying be a rear wheel drifter and best left as is, which is still fun though. Anyway just wanted to ad to what you had already said. Nice work man

Finally this is incredible I was about to toss out these front axles but thank god I found this video!!

Awesome review 👍🏾💯

this is only good for trx 4 sport not the one with diff lockers

Bro does it come with rhino firmeware?

Very interesting information, thanks bro!)❤🎉😊

Thank you for showing me all that because that real really help out of anyone is do a same like build thank you again for all the great work and keep up the good videos an nice build
