@@JAM-vu3ol it changes the way the suspension geometry works assuming you keep arm length the same. Test different options if you can!

The ESC has reverse polarity protection, but the capacitor is connected to battery voltage directly (to make it work efficiently and effectively) so if you connect the battery terminals in reverse the capacitor is instantly dead. Change the capacitor and everything should work perfectly. FYI if you do kill a capacitor and continue running it, you will do damage to the ESC and could have bigger problems with battery damage or fire etc.

It changes the initial corner entry and exit behaviour. On it's own it is ok, but when you thune the whole car to utilise it, it becomes game-changing.

@RCPACE I'm still learning how to use it to its full potential

@@จตุรงค์-ฮ6ษ 26mm front, 30mm rear where possible

I'm sure you could, but I really wouldn't. The benefit of a wheel like this is the rigidity leading to constant precision without deforming to change how your inputs effect control. The time it takes to adjust to all aluminium is minimal and after more than a decade since I made the switch I HATE how loose foam wheels feel. Make the switch and try and get used to it - and thank me later! :D

S Bus is the protocol that allows communication between receiver/transmitter and the ESC/servo and can be used with the correct radio and receiver to tune the ESC and monitor telemetry. TAO 3 is the device in this video that connects to the ESC and allows tuning and saving of settings. Both do similar things but I use both. TAO 3 allows saving of settings for different tracks etc but you can just use the S bus adaptor and connect via the radio then take photos of the settings but this is less organised and harder to find the settings you were happy with after a significant period of time etc.

Got it thanks for the explanation

@@adrianchung8719 yes. TAO3 allows you to save settings and the quick settings feature can help if you need a fresh idea at a new circuit. I still use mine all the time despite having a bus and 10PX

@@RCPACEThank you so much.. 🙏🙏🙏 im gonna get one asap

I'm glad you found the video helpful!

According to the last set up sheet I made, I’m running 83T spur and 19T pinion. It may have changed a little since then but if it has, not by much. blog.rcpace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/GALM-JS-JULY-2023.pdf

@@RCPACE thank you, Sir. I would love to see a new video showing the state of the car, maybe. I wish you well.

It will depend on your setup. You can also mount on the opposite side. I prefer Acuvance ESCs so you can easily change rotation direction if needed

@@RCPACE i see on my esc , there is choice motor direction ( normal / reverse ), so i need chose reverse, is that ok sir?

@@mencariberkah654 yes, if it is supported it is no problem

@@RCPACE Thank you, i will sett reverse. Appreciate support from you sir 🙏👍

@@RCPACE Sir, when set ESC reverse motor, still can turbo on? or not?

I just bought single packs of screws and use them for all kits over many years

www.rc.futaba.co.jp/support/software/?tag=%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC%E7%94%A8

I carry a full but minimal setup. I bring tools, batteries and some very basic spares including shock oil. Lipos in hand luggage, everything else checked in and well packed.

@@RCPACE Thanks for the info. I’m about to fly to Japan this week to checkout a few of the tracks and stores but I wasn’t too sure what was allowed.

@@mrcollie242 be sure to check with your airline but I haven’t had a problem since switching to lipos only in carry on

Yes you can, but you should contact them to check they are open on the day you want to attend and check the status with tyres. They require you to use a control tyre and I believe they just restocked but you will not be able to run without the right tyre. I believe they only allow RWD cars now and not 4WD but I could be mistaken.

@@RCPACE brill, thanks for the reply. I shall call them tomorrow.

It was gifted to me by Harun (H-Run) so I'm not sure if anyone sells the tool tbh

Do you mean TC suspension mounts? The arms are the latest adjustable arms from OD on the rear and ES front lowers

@RCPACE yes, I meant the TC Sus Mounts. But, I asked before I had got to finish your video. Thank you

You can find it on the Acuvance website here: acuvance.co.jp/product/blsc_sd/tao3/#tgt-update

D5S is fine for an entry level kit but these days I'd take an RDX, RMX, MRX, GALM, YD2, RD2.0 or even a Redcat over one personally. I know some guys that really like theirs but for me they are not in the same league as those I mentioned. Anything Yeah Racing is a big thumbs down for me, any time I have to help someone with their parts they are full of flaws. I'd rather have a TT01 with an MRC conversion than any YR parts but woul;dnt be considering any Tamiya kits for Drifting unless it was a 3rd or 4th chassis. The ones I mentioned at the start of this comment will take you further with the hobby at a better pace with more enjoyment. Nothing wrong with playing around with other chassis at all, but unless you really know what you are doing it's hard to suggest it without sending someone down a path of frustration.

What about the d5 mr And also thank you you for the advice

Same deal, not really for me - I'd go with the suggestions I mentioned in my other comment over any 3 Racing option personally.@@MalcolmSmith-jw6pn

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Srry. I would like to ask another question. Which do you prefer, the yokomo yd2 or the mst rmx 2.5.

If you’re following this guide, chances are you need to use a different microsd card. Which one are you using?

It would depend where it is required most. I currently don’t run a fan on either and have intense settings. I monitor temps via my radio. If my motor got hotter due to gearing or driving style, I’d run a fan on the motor. If the ESC got hotter I’d run a fan on the ESC

I believe that’s the one many used. A simple plate with standoffs works fine but the Shibata option part works perfectly if you can source one

They are available with the collars from OD

Not really worth buying a whole New Set of Collars, just for 4 tiny screws. That makes absolutely no sense. Luckily, I found replacements that fit off of Amazon. If anyone needs replacements, lmk..

That's very true @@Zaggerton - usually people need the screws because they overtightened them and snapped them off in the collars, so they are usually also required.

People say this a lot but you can build a GALM for the same money as other brands… just if you buy all options it gets expensive. I’ve had my GALM for 5 years and could have spent much more money changing chassis all the time! You get what you pay for imho

Thank you!

Thanks! Coming soon!

Same here - Kashigari style is my preference so more of a scale look based on grip generating roll rather than just flopping around!

@@RCPACE Wonder if anyone is running them here locally (im in australia). Would love to try them.

Travis 2? Surely there must be a few!@@Mr_jz_12

Very nice!

Thanks 👍 Will film more next time!

Hi M8 . Would you mind to share your Futaba giro setup??

No problem, will post something very soon@@chiccoka

Thank you! A little motivator for me to make more effort to film as well as take photos next time!

@@RCPACE I would love to see more clips from you 👌🏼

You can run any spring - the latest OD springs are awesome though!

It was a solid chassis but limited in where I could take it compared to other chassis so I sold it a while back. I like them for sure but GALM is my go to option every time so other chassis usually do not stick around too long!
