- 1/10 RWD drifting. This is our MST RMX2.0 kit. Great car that we have had a lot of fun with.
One question I have had is why do we use these hard plastic tires instead of foam or rubber tires? What would happen if we did use foam or rubber tires?
I asked around, and most people thought it wouldn't work. The car wouldn't have enough power to drift. Sooo, I bought some to test!
Running them in my garage, I was very surprised by the results. Watch through the video and let me know your thoughts. Which tire would you rather use?

This! This is the video I've been looking for. I wanted to do a grip/drift car without doing a AWD touring car but I wondered how it would react with grip tires. This answers all my questions. Thanks!!
Glad I could help!
It really does better than I expected. The only thing I would be concerned about over time is the transmission gears. They are all plastic and doing too many hard launches with sticky tires might strip them. Otherwise, it handles pretty well.
Man thanks for doing these videos your literally answering all my rwd drift questions. I've been on rc since my teens but just now thinking about rwd drifting have done plenty with sprint 2s but yeah. Keep up the good work got my sub
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback and the sub.
Feel free to reach out with other questions you have!
@@RoadsideRC Bless you, Brother.... thanks for this video. I have all Vaterra, Kyosho cars like the 72 Camaro, 69 Mustang, Challenger, Chevelle, 72 Trans AM, 72 C10, etc, and love to only drive them in the garage and church gym floors with a lot of space to scale I do not want to scratch them. I just got today an MST RMX 2.0 AMG GT3 I wanted a real drifter like the one in this video and how you have compared them vs AWD. I have no drift tracks in my area so I was going to use rubber tires on the MST and maybe if I find a group put the drift tires back on and/or play both in the garage or gym. This example video was great for a 49yr grandfather just getting into the hobby was what I needed to see. I do need to find out how to adjust my suspension on the MST drifter all new but looks like you kept it the same for rubber tires. Again...appreciate you for this test Sir.
Great video, I like the comparison... I never did drifting but looks fun... that’s a sick garage you have there also
Thank you!
I took the time to re-paint and add lights a few years ago. Very worth the effort!!
drifting with rubber tires just as god intended. 👍🏼
Depending on the situation!
Nice video I built a 4wd drift car with rubber front wheels and hard plastic on the back it was doing donuts only then I added a gyro now it drifts like a dream you can high speed drift too its awesome u should try it bro 💪💪👍👊
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Oh dude, I love that coupe body
Thanks! I like that it is different than most drift cars!
Just got my cheapo S4 running, heading to the hobby store to do the same thing. Thanks for the vids. PS the new Llama drift vid is awesome!
Great!
Thanks for the feedback also.
Awesome content of comparison 👏
Glad you like it! Thank you.
Thank you so much! (And your son is very sweet)
Thank you!
Awesome content bud. New into the 2wd drifting myself & was wandering what the difference would be. I know now. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Either way it drifts no matter what you put on , the floor has helps with the drifting 👍 fantastic test video ,really enjoyed it 👍😁👍
Thank you!
Thank you, this was helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video! I enjoyed the experimentation, usually things are pretty standard with RWD drift!! Though I have experimented with another compound which I think is maybe even more enjoyable!! You definitely need to do a shootout when my research is done🍇
Looking forward to it!
Thats a sweet car bro. 👊👍🍻💯
Thank you!
cool video and great comparing of the two tires and sweet rig
Thank you!!
The more scale-accurate you make one aspect, the more scale-accurate you must make other aspects. Giving it this much grip, it really needs more weight to make use of it. You can find weight via the square-cube law. So at 1/10 scale this would need to weigh between 24-42 pounds, or more typically 29-37 pounds, to equal a full-sized drift car with "rubber tires" level of grip.
At that point, you might need more power and torque, too, between 3 and 9hp will be scale accurate. And your wheelspeed will need to be scaled as well, but scale speed is not as simple of a conversion, and I recommend looking up a true scale speed calculator, but roughly 35mph is about 110mph equivalent for 1/10th scale.
You will definitely burn through tires like a real drift car trying this. And you'll need some pretty ridiculous spring and shock oil setups. Also, your weight distribution will have to be more scale-accurate, too. Anything between 60/40 and 40/60 F/R should work, as it does IRL. Adjust as desired till it feels right.
Interesting info.
Not really the goal of this. It is honestly more of an explanation for all of the folks who frequently ask if we should use rubber tires.
Thanks for doing the math!
@@RoadsideRC Fair enough! But also, I still think it would be fun to try to make one of these with all metal super beefy components, an oversized electronics setup (like a castle 2200 1/8th scale powerset on 6s with a 1/8th scale HD servo), gear it for about 40-50mph wheel speed, and load it down with as many 1 pound lead ingots as you can reasonably fit under the body, then send it all the way on rubber tires but keep it on an ultra-smooth surface like this.
I bet the weight offsets the grip enough to give it the proper inertia and it'll feel much less twitchy/sensitive. Either that, or it accentuates the grip and becomes ridiculously fast, lol.
@@Drunken_HamsterIt could be a fun project! I haven't seen anyone do that before.
Why have I not seen this channel b4 ..good video. Earned my sub ..
Thank you for that!
I really do appreciate it!
Now that’s a nice play Area 👌👍👌
Thank you!
We took the time a few years ago to paint and add lights. Made a huge difference.
That rig is sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!..Those rubber tires grip great after warmed up..Glue them yourself bro..That way you know it's done right
Cheap or not K-Force Racing makes great tires...One of the best $20 I ever spent was on K-Force Racing SCT wheels and tires..I didn't know they made foams though..I might need to get some for my Euro Man Truck
That is right! I will glue them now!
@@RoadsideRC Glue em and run em on the TT-02 on 3s!! Lol
I was always wondering this too, neat.
Thanks!
nice test! I would never bother to test lol :) good job!
Thank you!
Great great great comparison, thank u sir
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
Looks good with the 2 set of wheels drifting good 👍🏾
Thank you!
Interesting.. :) But I kinda expected the results.. Still runs great, but with more grip. You're looking at more of a race car as appose to a drift Car... Very cool driving though and I bet she rides smoother on rougher terrains as well .. Roads driveways etc.... Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
I was surprised it still drifted. Figured with only 2S power that it wouldn't have enough power to really slide around.
I actually have those on the front and some harder rubber foam filled in my 8.5t slider.
RWD drift car?
@@RoadsideRC yes sir, it is a highly modified with mostly diy mods on my now rwd TT02D. Like I'm running a metal HPI high speed spur gear that's been grinded down to fit the TT02.
@@RoadsideRC I'll be getting my Sakura D5 MR hybrid build back soon. It's basically a D5 MR but built into the D5S layout.
Nice video are you using a drift assist box?
We do use a drift specific gyro.
In this car, the Futaba GYD450.
Awesome drifting cool car
Thank you!
Interesting tire comparison. You didn't by any chance try mixing the sets? Foam up front drift in back hehe
Hmm. Nope, but I sure can!
Cool video man
Thank you!
Nice test 👍
Thank you!
Coolest 🤩👍
Thank you!!
Its more like a on road car with the rubber wheels I would think
I thought it would literally not be able to drift...but was surprised it still did!
Science! James knows best, do the burnouts!
You know! Upcoming video!
Kinda kool with rubber tires i was just think the same thing would it drift a bit still .
Yep! Still works!
@@RoadsideRC how about tarmac/ wet with rubber
I have not tried anything wet with it. The electronics are not waterproof.
Old vid but great!
Do you think the foams would wear out quickly if you Drift on parking loat concrete? Assuming you have the power to do it?
Yes! Those foams will die quite quickly on anything but a smooth surface.
@@RoadsideRC thanks!
I want a road/drift rc car so I’m hoping rubber tires are grippy for when I don’t want to drift and plastic when I do
That is basically how it works. You probably would also be driving on different surfaces. Imagine how different these results would have been on regular concrete or asphalt!
I have a Redcat Lightning EPX drift stock that I put an XQ Viper TA body I installed blue halo headlights lights in on it and I was thinking of trying rubber or Contact foam grip tires (wider 30 mm to the back so it is a bit more true to the wider rear on real Viper TAs) to test a speed run. Drift tires spin on the pavement too much to try this with and have a hard time getting the car uphill as there is a bit of a hill where I run. I believe I could make good use of the stock power this car has that the drift tires just can't put to the pavement. As far as drifting with this thing, it is loads of fun. However, it is 4WD. Is 2 wheel RWD harder to master drifts with like with real cars?
RWD vs AWD is a huge debate.
For me, I really prefer the driving style of a RWD, and believe once the car is setup correctly, it is actually easier to control precise lines with.
My Redcat AWD car will do massive powerslides and things of that sort- but getting it to precisely enter a corner and hold a line through it is very difficult.
If there is a drift track near you, or others who drift RWD, then I would highly suggest trying it. If not, stick with the fun of AWD.
Hope this helps!
Nice video :)
Thank you!
It's a nice rig can really feed her the beans huh what kind of motor do you run
Thanks!
Surprised how it still drifted!
It is a brushless setup, only running on 2S.
@@RoadsideRC not to bad
Just ordered some rubber tires for my drift car to drift it out on the street. Should be fun judging by these results!
Just be careful - often the drivelines are not really meant for that much load. You may damage something.
Wonder how the plastic diff gear would hold up in the mst if you drove with grippy tyres all the time. Is there a metal tooth diff for the mst rmx 2.0? I'm thinking I'd getting one but I'm put off now since I realised the diff is plastic geared, kind of leaning towards the sakura d4 since the belt set up seems less likely to strip. I'd want to be driving it outside with rubber tyres most of the time
Honestly, if you are planning to drive outside with rubber tires, I would highly suggest you save some $$$ and get the Redcat Thunder Drift or Lightning Drift.
Both are MUCH cheaper, and a blast to drive with rubber tires.
@@RoadsideRC I've had my fair share of experience with Redcat racing and similar off brands of the same like hsp and himoto, they all use the same parts with soft easily strippable gears and pot metal differentials and clutch bells that also strip and break, cheap glitchy electronics, I've gone through loads of them buggys cars and trucks. I've learned that it's better to spend the little bit extra and get a reputable brand that uses decent quality materials. I also wanted to try out a rwd drift car with the extra steering lock because any time I've ever made my 4wd rc cars rwd it's very hard to hold a drift with them because they lack that little extra bit of steering to stop them from spinning. Ideally I'd like to get one that I could put a low speed pinion on and use for drifting with plastic wheels and also put a higher tooth pinion on and rubber tyres for a bit more speed and driving around the carpark, but also have that extra steering lock for drifting it with the rubber tyres in the car park. Hence why I'm trying to find one that has a good strong differential set up, preferably steel gears
@@ciarancdc OK - that makes sense.
I recently tried this car again with rubber tires - a newer video on it. Had both this one and the Redcat Thunder Drift.
I'm a little worried that you might be disappointed with the RWD car with rubber tires. But maybe not!!
The more I tune the alignment and suspension of this to be good with the drift tires, the worse it has made it with rubber tires. Interesting, huh?
@@RoadsideRC I just watched your other video there, I know everywheres on lockdown at the moment but it would be interesting to see that comparison on tarmac as opposed to the slippy workshop floor, that's if you wanted to that yourself.
What I usually drive around at the moment is a 1/8 thunder tiger eb4 buggy with a .28 nitro engine in it, I have it rwd with traxxas 20 million wt silicone oil in the diff, it keeps it very tight but allows enough cushion for the drive train as opposed to an all out spool. It's easier to control the slide when it's going faster than it is at low speed because the front wheels slip more, I tried giving it more steering lock but the design of the hubs and the steering don't allow for it.
It'd be nice to have a brushless car to take out for a quick blast without all the noise and mess of nitro and still get my fix, I enjoy the challenge of trying to drive something semi-uncontrollable it makes it all the more rewarding when you get it right, 4wd just seems too tame after a while when you get used to it. I think part of the trick with rwd is anticipating what the car is going to do and reacting to it slightly in advance.
Are the diff gears in your kit built mst plastic or metal? Have you ever had to replace any parts on them?
@@RoadsideRC I think why the suspension tuning works different for plastic and rubber tyres is down to how much it moves depending on the grip.
With plastic there's not much grip so the car doesn't lean over and change the camber in a turn so it stays the way you set it when it's sitting idle.
With grippier tyres the car is more likely to hunker down and lean over when in a turn, changing the the suspension angles.
I have my buggy set up with quite a lot of positive camber on the rear wheels so the tyres make more even contact with the ground when the suspension is leaning over in a turn or squatting under acceleration. It also helps get more life out of the tyres because it doesn't wear the inside part of the tyre as quickly. When's it's sliding the inside wheel is spinning faster than the outside one and it also picks up a sort of negative camber because the car is leaning over, I try to replicate this when I'm setting up the suspension by pushing the car sideways and pressing it down to see how much of the tyres are making contact
I'm watching these video because I wanna see will it work because I bought it online and the tyre doesn't look like drift tyre
Gotcha. For a smooth surface like this, it still does work. For an outside, or rougher surface, it will not.
What vehicle did you buy?
Very nice my friend 😍🌹❤🔔👍🔔👍🔔😍🌹❤
Thank you!!
In general grip drifting is not fun. This is why back in the days people use to make fun of Americans because they would use the loud pedal and do a massive power slide instead of an actual control drift using different techniques.
Agree - would certainly rather use the standard drift tires...but it was fun to figure out what would happen!
