Nez0's Bad Shoppe @ Strickly Sidewayz: DHP Proteus RD 2.0 (Rookie Drift) Conversion Kit Shakedown

A very pleasant surprise! This prototype version of the DHP Proteus Flex Chassis has proven to be a contender. It works quite well and brings the RD 2.0 to a nice running spec even with factory box stock settings. In quick comparison to the other established flex chassis that I have driven, it is as good as the others and that pleases me. The RD 2.0 gained forward acceleration and monstered high angle entries with ease. I would like to get a production version of this kit to fully test the potential of the many configurations offered. This chassis set does have high potential and I am happy to report that it runs excellent and several other drifters at my local track Strickly Sideways Club agreed, a few with some Chef's Kiss gestures :D Stay tuned for more! Thank you for watching and Enjoy the video!

More RD 2.0 videos please!🎉 😎

What do you think the odds are that Yokomo will release a Load Transfer Special 2.0?

[@BadShoppe]

hmmm not too sure, they already discontinued the standard SD 1.0 so im sure the LTS will go soon too.

[@DrifterAtHeart-Woocash]

You criminal, how can you be making me wanna spend money, haha? What are your recommended gyro's? Is the OMG V3 like Yoko V4? Have you tried and liked any Onisiki, AGFRC Gy01 V3, Sanwa SGS-02, Revox or Futaba gyro's? Thanks for another great video.

[@Joshua_B.]

I may not be Nezo but I’ve tried a few of these gyros on different cars/setups. The Yoko v4 is what I currently run and don’t have much complaints, overall quite smooth. Ran the gyd550 before that and it was nothing but pain on the polished concrete, spent a good chunk of time with Nezo and others trying to get it right but couldn’t. Everytime I took the chassis out of the bag it felt like a different car. But don’t let my experience ruin that for you, it is a good gyro once you spend more time with it and fully learn what works best, just takes some time depending on surface and chassis. Seems to work better on P-tile, guess it comes down to the traction of the surface and what not. Don’t take my word on all of this, still quite new to this part of the hobby compared to Nezo and others.

@@Joshua_B. Thanks for the reply dude, that's a cool s13 body. I'm running currently a Yoko V4 with ReveD servo on a RD2.0 on polished concrete and it's great. Guys are considering joining me so I'm looking for options for alternatives. There's a almost new RD2.0 with Sanwa SGS-02 gyro and OMG predator servo, (incl wheels, basic HW Justock ESC and 10.5t Motor) for 300euro. It's a good price but not much info or reviews about the gyro

[@austinmacy7882]

The SGS-02 is not as user friendly or simple to tune as a v4 or Reve D gyro but I absolutely love it. However, I would only recommend it with a sanwa programmable servo and the tuner for both and then it’s similar to futaba setup with a LOT of settings to work through and understand. If you want something simple then I’d swap it for the others mentioned.

[@DrifterAtHeart-Woocash]

@@austinmacy7882 Nice one, that's good to know. Can the gyro and servo be adjusted with any specific Sanwa radio's (like Futaba) or do I need the Multi Gear Programmer?

[@BadShoppe]

Standard issue 101: Help spend other people's money :D
Personally I either go with single mode OMG's like the V2 or V3 or Yokomo's multi-mode V4. The simplicity/performance ratio is great for high performance without the setup headache. I have not tried the AGFRC, Sanwa or Futaba gyro's yet. I have a GYD550 but i need to sit down and read everything before I understand it lol. When understood, the Sanwa/Futaba stuff allows you to really go high level super fine tuning.

[@Splinterx182]

Where will these be available from?

[@BadShoppe]

I believe DHP will be setting up a website. More to come.
