- Does this car SOLVE so many current hurdles in the RWD RC Drift world???
Problem 1: micro-drift cars are hard to work on and tune
Problem 2: micro-drift cars can be almost as expensive as 1:10 drift cars
Problem 3: entry-level RWD drifting really starts at $380+
Enter the LDR/C 1:18 RWD drift car. I found it on TEMU, here: temu.to/m/utza0b9cqwq
Normal price: $130, on sale for $60. Had to try it! I've never seen a ready-to-run RWD drift car for that price!

A PSA to everyone looking to buy one of these. This is the V2 of this car. The V1 only came with the AE86 body so be aware if that's the one you want. You can tell if it's the V1 if it has plastic driveshafts. I have the V1 and it's pretty bad. This new version has been upgraded significantly.
Thank you for the info!
Does it have proportional throttle?
Is the red one v2?
@@dedeguy2012 The red NSX is V2. The V2 AE86 also comes in red.
If I want the ae86 v2, how do I know it’s the v2 when ordering it? Thx
Sweet. This is what I've been looking for with trying to get into the smaller scale drift. Thank you for testing this Troy I am super grateful. Please keep us posted on what you do with this build this looks promising.
More to come! I am very curious how this will perform with better electronics.
@@RoadsideRC YAY!!!!!!!
This was a pretty good review. I loved watching you enthusiasm build as it kept surprising you.
Thanks for the kind words! This car is surprising! :)
This is badass. Thanx for the reviews absolutely love the smaller rwd stuff especially cheap
Thanks! More to come!
I just saw this because i wanted to get into rc drifting. Keep up the good work videos like these are the best 🎉🎉
Thank you! Good luck getting into the hobby. Let me know if you have more questions.
@@RoadsideRCthanks. It is so cool that someone famous replied to my comment that made my day. Keep posting your awesome 🎉
Hey Troy, love the channel! I've had the LDRC AE86 for about a month now and really like it. I upgraded the stock electronics with a DumboRC BL3FG that I had laying around, which was great because it allowed me to control the lights still and had a gyro already. Another plus was it was slightly smaller footprint then the stock circuit board, so I was able to stick it in the same spot.
I hope you do an update video after you have upgraded it. It's a fun little car for the price.
Interesting to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Nice video buddy! Would love to see a video with upgraded electronics.
Im waiting mine with some extras like Flysky remote,AGFRC GyroV3,5 ,a budget mini servo and an ESC..
Lets see ...😊
Yes! This has the potential to be really good with better electronics!
I've had mine for a few months, I didn't realize it had adjustable links!
I've been on disability for a while now and drifting this little thing around the living room is therapeutic.
Clears the bad thinking, distracts from the discomfort.
Awesome! Glad it has been helpful for you!
RCs are a lifesaver when dealing with physical and mental health issues. Kinda help direct from the pain or anxiety.
My buddy had the real rx7 with the turbo like that. Man that was a fun car.. 11000rpm shifts.. I kinda want one of these
Hard to beat these for the price! I am excited to try some upgrades on it and see how it does!
Awesome Unboxing and Review!
And Helps me a lot❤ thks my Friend 🐼👌🏻
Glad to help!!!
Thks my Friend 🐼👍🏻
I just got the gyro for this car which needs some soldering to a JST and connect to a k969 brushed ESC receiver board I put into it after I the original ESC stopped working. I saw your video and got excited about soldering the JST now.
Awesome! Good luck!
Yes!!!! I want to see you build this please!!!
ordered one a couple weeks ago off Ali. cant wait untill it arrives. should be any day now!
Awesome! I hope you like it!
got mine about aweek ago! decent starter rwd drift! got so hooked i started a build from this channel sakura d4, 10bl120,hackslider,rocket 540s v3. looking for a good transmitter with receiver plus some lipos
Awesome! Good luck with the build!
its not bad for the money great review
*👍like👍🎅Au👀always fully viewing🎅
You got that right! Thanks Billy!
Very cool drift car for cheap 👍👍👍
Yes it is!
I want to see more videos out of this!
In process!!!
great info on this cheap little drifter. But that chevelle is beautiful. I'm an RC guy, but a sucker for full size cars too. Have a few myself. great content
Thank you for the kind words!
What cars do you have?
@@RoadsideRC 39 olds, 64 amc rambler, 73 Nova (rat) 78 Buick skylark, and an 89 chevy truck. The olds is a nice original car, the 64 rambler is a nice solid, but shitty running car. The Buick is a clean, kind of rare driver. The 73 nova is a clapped out old drag car. Think "roadkill". lol and the 89 chevy is a 2wd shortbox project, for burnouts mostly.
@@ChazOutlaw Nice! Quite the lineup!
Thanks, very informative! Looking forward to the upgrades. It would be awesome if someone made Group B rally car bodies (Audi, Lancia, Peugeot etc) for this chassis!
Those bodies would be fun!
@@RoadsideRC ..and look perfect going sideways ;^)
@@RoadsideRC Question from an R/C newbie: It seems that R/C has two groups. 1 - Really fast cars that drive like they’re on rails or 2 - Drift cars hanging it out at crazy drift angles. Is there anything in between? Are there ways to modify drift cars so they can drift some and go faster but not too much? I’d love to race at more realistic scale speeds (not 300mph!) and deal with “scale” vehicle dynamics (understeer/oversteer). Any thoughts?
@@bryandickerson5365 That is tough. I do wonder if you ould be happier with one of the rally cars they make. HPI and CEN both have really good ones.
This is a great car! Mine came with more toe out in the front than yours did so it’s probably the factory not getting it right every time😂
That would be my guess!
I wanna see it moded
Would you mind measuring the wheelbase and width for me?
I’m trying match up a specific shell to a 1/16 car.
Thank you!
Here you go:
Wheelbase is 132mm
Width us around 95mm
Hi! Great video, honest review! May I ask for a advice (help)? The car doesn't move backwards, the breaks don't work either. What could be problem? The transmitter? Something wrong with the diff? The forward moving and turns work perfectly. Thanks in advance!
It sounds like either (1) the controller isn't seeing the trigger movement or (2) the ESC has an issue.
I would contact the seller and see if they will replace it. I am not aware of any calibration function on this car.
@@RoadsideRC thanks a lot!
I was wondering if you're planning to make an upgrade update video because i myself are trying to get my hands on this little demon and i wanted to know what upgrades are available
It is on my workbench now! More to come!
Awesome
Thanks!
I have the silver rx7. The travel on the remote steering wheel was pretty uneven, steering left was a lot less than right.
I had to sand down the limiter on the remote.
Additionally the servo arm was not centered, I had to take out the servo and adjust the arm.
It is not rocket science, but a total beginner might not get the car to perform well out of the box.
Interesting! I didn't have that issue with either of mine.
Finally a RWD drift car I can afford! 🤣🤣🤣
cant wait to c that with hobby grade electronics n it and try removing the rear swaybar unlsess those are the springs and c how it drifts after u fix the alinment .. almost making me want to buy 1
Yes! I am very curious as well. If the better electronics really make a big change, this will be the buy of the year!!!
@@RoadsideRC looks like what a 380 size motor n it so yea if it can fit a Brushless system it n then i really think it would b the buy of the year and will have to snag the FC 1 as well
I just got my NSX and I'm pretty happy with it. I wish they would make a Nissan s13.
Nice! They might! I saw a teaser of a new body that might come out.
Be great for them nasty days you can't get out and price point,awesome!!!!
You got that right!
What's the onboard camera you used in the test?
Hello!
It is this camera:
amzn.to/3P5gIgF
It has a sway bar exposed under the chassis. I have never seen that before, lol.
That isn't actually a sway bar - it is a torsion suspension!
I'm working on my first smaller scale drifter... a Drift Art 3S. Ive spent more on it then some spend on a 1/10th lol. I do want the AE86 version of this car now too. :D
Only place I see them is banggood and I don't use or trust those kinds of places. So I will just have to hope they show up at walmart again like the version1 of these did.
I already ordered and recieve the track layout they have for LDRC rc cars.
And super fast shipping...
Its trusted,i use it for years like Ali..
I just bought the car from Ali cause it was cheaper..@@robinkesterlives
Yes! That has been my issue with the smaller scale stuff - it ends up being the same price!
@@RoadsideRC The Drift Art3 is fun, but I do kind of wish I had just gone w another 1/10th.
Hello! I have the same car and its been working fine but all of a sudden when i turn it on the remote beeps non stop and the throttle doesn't work. Sometimes the steering still works but the car wont move. Do you have any ideas what this could be?
Have you changed the batteries in the controller?
@@RoadsideRC yeah, it didn’t make a difference
@@RoadsideRCended up being a fried battery got some new ones and it’s good to go
Do you think you can easily put a different shell on it?
Hmm. I don't think easily.
They do offer a few other body styles though.
Mine should arrive soon. It'll be my first drifter.
If you install a gyro, it will be "in line" with the built-in gyro. Is it possible to it turn off ?
My guess is it will need a full electronics replacement to upgrade, as the ESC, receiver, and gyro are all on one circuit board.
You can turn the gyro off by pressing and holding the gyro button for a few seconds. The car comes with a set of rubber tires as well as the drift tires. Quite fun to have the rubber tires and turn the gyro off for some carpet racing.
@jasonw1115 FYI - this one did NOT come with rubber tires.
@@RoadsideRC Mine did. Maybe not the same version.I received the A86 Trueno.
Well, drifting is not as easy as it seems on the videos. Need some practise.😄
Hello, I made a 3D printed mod for this RC...
You can just turn off the gyro and use external gyro like AFRC v3, HGv4 or GT55 (Dasmikro) v6 gyro. It will be way better control than the stock gyro...
Happy drifting...
Awesome! Thank you!
I wasn't looking for an RC drift car..... but I might have just gotten sold one lol
Ha! Glad I could be a bad influence! :)
Mine turns only to the right. Trying to go left forget about it. Any things I can do to allow it to turn left? Help needed!
Does the steering work fine (wheels move), but the car just doesn't like to drift in that direction?
Check your tire scuffing/wear - like I show in this video. I expect the alignment is not quite the same on both sides.
Check the servo arm. I had the same issue. The servo arm wasn't centered.
And the steering wheel on the remote wasn't centered, I had more right steering travel than left. I had to sand down the plastic limiter about a millimetre.
Works fine now
Review Mn38!!! The real hong kong taxi lol
I don't know what the MN38 is - can you share more?
Does it have proportional acceleration?
Yes it does - and steering!
Too bad you didn't get the 4-in-1 version of the Radiomaster MT12. Would love to see if this little car would bind to that radio. That alone would probably make the driving experience even better.
Great point!!!!
Hi can i ask i have same car end when i pull full gass then my car turning left
Hi there! I would need more information to really help.
Is the gyro working and on?
Are both rear wheels getting power?
I have video on my chanel lok at the car
@@RoadsideRC I have video on my chanel and is straighting left can you help me?
@@RoadsideRC I have video on my chanel and i still don't now why always is straighting right (sorry for my English)
@geniusch9414 I just watched the video (thank you for sharing). I do not think anything is wrong. It is a drift car - they don't go straight very well.
If there is even a very small steering input...or if there is a very small difference in traction between the left and right tires....then it will start a slight turn. That is what I see in the video.
Hi, I bought one of these and mine does not come with a gyro. It has a different receiver PCB and hitting A/B buttons changes the steering rate and throttle rate, but no Gyro here. Car is mechanically the same. So be careful !
Interesting!!
Good thing - at least you can put in a proper gyro and not have to worry about disabling the stock one!
its been 2 days and they discontinued it....LMFAO thank you though, really appreciate your videos.
That is interesting! It was just there yesterday!
It looks like it is also sold on Amazon, at a higher price: amzn.to/3RJfVUo
@@RoadsideRC That one on Amazon is the old one. I have it and it is not good. Definitely not worth $100. The one you have is the V2 and it is significantly better.
@@skree_fpv436 Good to know! Thank you!
Please do a gyro and esc upgrade! I'm getting mine in 2 weeks and I'm throwing my gyd470 at it 😂😅
I think you saw the gyro upgrade video already!
Esc would need to he with a receiver and controller as well. To come later!
Yeah, my setup is now dumborc receiver and ddf350 transmitter, gt55 gyro, surpass hobby 9g, 30a brushed esc, rewire bucket servo, headlights and taillights.
I can find ldrc drift for as low as 35 USD and with a dasmikros V6 gyro you're only looking at a 50$ RWD drift car.
Of course fully upgraded this thing is so much smoother, but not everyone wants to spend the time and or the money.
Thank you for your videos Troy!
by the way soon enough it comes out in Honda NSX with colors though this RX7 is stunning.
Yes! I see it is 86 and NSX body as well!
Newest one will be Nissan Skyline body shell in blue. Saw on TH-cam Short from LDRC
HUH? I followed the link and it sais "item Discontinued" Not that I was looking to buy. But I like to check out the specs and stuff on the site.. :) FYI .. Cool little car
That is interesting! I just clicked the link and it seems to work fine. Perhaps it is some issue with location?
Yeah maybe.. Ok thanks.. :)@@RoadsideRC
The problem isn't the alignment. It's the weight of the motor, which is on the side.
I'll get the scales out and check. Didn't seem to be a weight issue, but easy enough to confirm.
It needs turbo
I have thought about doing a full electronics swap. We will see.
put a decent gyro on and it is gonna work as a charm.
That is exactly my thought!
47.00 with the coupon.We,ll see how long it takes! Only found rx7 .
$47!!! That is CRAZY. Mine took just over a week to get here - but that wasn't during the Christmas rush.
@@RoadsideRC Future project anyways. What about that radio link with the gyro already in the receiver. Maybe furitek electronics?
@scottfuller6541 I was going to stay brushed for now. Just upgrade to something like a Hobbywing 1080 esc - since I think I have one laying around.
I also have a few gyros laying around - so try those as well.
Should be fun!
Got here today. Fast shipping, even for christmas rush.@@RoadsideRC

I’ll keep the stock electronics, just like my cheap drift street car.
The car is a little hard to drive - that is why I was thinking about doing the upgrades.
Your link doesn't work. Please fix it and then you can get some money from the affiliate link.
Thanks - Ill see if I can get it sorted out!
Unfortunately, this is not an affiliate link.
Mine didn’t work
I was unable to get the steering to work…
Oh well 🥺
Sorry to hear that.
Just recently got one from Ali Express for $38.
$38!!! That is CRAZY!
These small scale models are creeping into every discipline of rc. It’s a virus. Now let’s watch all the prices go up on 1/10 scale drift parts.
Hmm. Maybe a little over excited there. Micro-drift has been a thing for a long time...at a much higher price.
This one coming in cheaper doesn't really change anything related to that.
We need an update on for this lmao
That is a fun new feature idea!
@@RoadsideRC I've bought a few things from temu and I've been happy with them and ya I've did some mods to them lol
Put a GYD450 in the thing…
I think it will! Or at least something comparable!
@@RoadsideRC definitely looks like the perfect toy for younger kids to get into rwd drifting without dealing with a complicated chassis.
Thats a great starter car............ 😆 🤣 tuning this size can be a PITA. Especially when start customizing things.
We will see! I plan to make some changes.
