I just started into the rc drift hobby a few weeks ago and your channel and videos have been very helpful in my decisions and getting into this part of rc. I'm coming from rock crawling and nitro and electric bashers and I'm hooked!
Thanks always for the informative videos, Troy. I have been waiting for a review of the Yokomo RTR. Maybe a future match up of MST RTR and Yokomo RTR perhaps? Thks again
Troy, not a bad review. I’ve only heard of people complaining that the Z-chassis isn’t as easy to drive compared to the S or even E. The Z chassis is good but the ATR kit leaves a lot to be desired. For the price, I’d recommend a YD-2S and build with better electronics. Plus, the S is more forgiving for beginners and that’s according to some of even Yokomo’s own factory drivers. As for the things I would change if I had one: -Gyro, because I don’t like the “hunting” that cheaper gyros will do even when you turn the gain down. -Shocks and springs. Yokomo make some of THE BEST shocks in RWD drift and are heavily supported in the aftermarket. I’d recommend Yokomo blue silicone “X rings” and 10wt oil. -Tires because those drift tires are that weird vinyl compound similar to the Tamiya Super Driftech. Either the Yokomo DR-C or RevéD AS-01 as both are widely used on drift tracks all over the world. -Servo, because the one in the ATR is rather… slow. Personally, it’s worth getting either the Yokomo SP-302 or the RevéD RS-ST. Either servo would make a HUGE jump in performance and handling and both are programmable. -ESC, because at some point I would want to go brushless. The ATR ESC is Yokomo branded but is closer in spec to the HobbyWing 1060, which ironically is only sold with a Tamiya battery connector crimped on. Though it’s not sensored brushless capable, it DOES offer 2S and even 3S support. -Battery because well… EVERYONE at the competitions are running LiPo! Nothing against NiMH and yeah they’re heavier but they’re also safer to use. Plus, the “weight shift” builders are using them but to each their own. -Radio, because you’ll only go so far with the ATR radio. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad but the further you go in the hobby, the more you’ll want a better radio. For the money, the FlySky Noble NB4 is a great choice. Pricey, because it’s a higher end radio but far cheaper than a Futaba 7PXR or the Sanwa equivalent, never mind even KO Propo! -Lastly while speaking of brushless, that’s where I’d go long after I do most of the upgrades. The cream of the brushless crop seems to be at 13.5 turn (where most advanced drivers are moving to) but nothing wrong with 10.5, especially when you need the extra kick for turn-in and it’s what I use in my RWD TT-02 build. Don’t judge me. Anyway Troy, great video as always. Maybe one day, I’ll make it out to Music City and run door-to-door with you guys!
You are right. Most folks who get one of these vehicles will eventually replace almost all of the components - but starting with a RTR is very appealing for new folks who are unfamiliar with the electronics.
good unboxing a good manual is a plus point always like your no prisoners taken reviews Troy as always guess mods are coming soon *left you a big like👍Au👀full view every time*
bought my RTR yokomo YD-2 yesterday because it was on sale from yokomo for 71 dollars as a started car. im fully expecting and wanting to upgrade but still looking forward to trying it stock
Nice review Troy,i think if anyone wants to go the yokomo way and upgrade from there its fine although i agree with you with the battery.there is the AC version i believe which has red alloy shocks but it is more expensive.
You're my guy! My friend literally just bought this today, and came over to my garage to have a play with it, we absolutely fell in LOVE with the RC drift car, made a little make shift track with tap points made from thin door shims. Anyway, I'm TOTALLY getting an RC drift car! I'm keen to get this one you have in the video, same as my friends. I'm just wondering are there better options for slightly more or less $? I'd rather not have to build the first car. And what after market things should I get? wheels?
Glad you are heading down the path of drifting - it has been a lot of fun for me! Here is a guide to the RTR drift cars that are out there right now. This is certainly a good one! th-cam.com/video/yRmuX4-UNmE/w-d-xo.html
The gyro wobble is bad - but that was also at 100% gyro gain. It is adjustable, but I had issues with that...video coming. Still, on either the MST or Yokomo RTR, the gyro will be on of the first upgrades you do. Jury is still out on this vs the MST on which is better.
I own the RMX 2.0 and I highly recommend it. A couple of cheap Zeee batteries from Amazon and you have a very good car for just a few dollars more than the Yokomo. And the MST body is leaps and bounds above the Yokomo. It comes with mirrors and light buckets and tinted windows and most importantly it isn’t drilled for body posts but they’re marked in case you want to run them
That is a VERY good question. I own both. Both have some pros and cons. I am tempted to lean towards this Yokomo for long-term performance potential...but not 100% sure yet. One thing is clear, this gets you started for cheaper!
Depends where you want to go in the hobby, mate. The MST is great if you’re new and you want a very capable chassis that you can compete with without being too serious. The downside is that MST part support is few and far between. On the other hand, the Yokomo is better if you want an ATR (assembled to run) but with more support in the event you want to get super serious about competing. The downside is that the Z-chassis can be frustrating to use if you’re new to RWD drift, compared to the YD-2E or S chassis which is more forgiving to newbies. In the end, it’s YOUR choice. I mean, I have a converted TT-02 and I think it’s good enough though tuning is limited compared to others. However, if you’re a little capable, building a kit is much more budget friendly and you’ll get a much better car in the end.
dang not bad from yokomo just a few little changes and you got a solid entry point with alot of ceiling cause the Z version has all the latest parts from yoko.
Looks like a pretty nice looking car bud. Not sure if you mentioned the fact if it is LIPO ready or not. Just wondering. Just finished the body one my MST-Fxx and I am SUPER happy with it. Looks like a great rig Troy thanks for sharing
@@mattblack7372 Very good question .. Completely different cars. I think mine with the motor in the front? Makes it a different experience all together. The Back is extremely light. It does well but I think having the extra weight of the motor in the middle or Back of the car might make it a better ride. imo. Keeping in mind this is the only drifter I have. lol
Hi Troy, for me as a beginner to start drifting, should I buy and start building it from kit and put good quality electronics or just buy an RTR so that i can feel it first if its something for me? I dont have much knowledge so far about rc drift car 😅
Hi John! Thanks for the question. The answer depends on the support system you have. Is there a local hobby store that has knowledge about drift cars? Is there a local track with helpful folks who can help you troubleshoot? Do you already have some RC experience (non-drift)? If the answers are yes, then I would start with a kit and better electronics. If the answers are no, then I would pick up a RTR. Let me know if I can help more!
@ yes I have experience and its been 1 year since I started playing RC, just a little knowledge but not in drifting (only basic things), I'm not even sure yet if I can be good in drifting but I want to try 😃 no one is really supporting me to enter the drifting, I am only getting help through some people in the groups when I asked them through chat about my other RC's, I'm not near enough in local drift track too, but its been months now since I'm looking to enter the drifting. Ive also watch a lot of your videos and have learned some basic details.
@johnpaulpunla3357 OK - in your situation, I would recommend getting a RTR. My suggestion would be either the (1) Redcat RDS and (2) MST RMX. Let me know if you have more questions!
Hey I recently bought one used and still have stock battery and charger when I connect it to charge it just blinks blue how do I know when it's charged
I'm liking what I'm seeing someone who is looking to get into this like myself I take a lot of interest in it but being a complete novel's annoying bleed nobbins and knowing not a whole lot about RC drifting I can tell that that gyro wiggle is awful. However I do like the car and it's another one that I'm going to have to consider
@@RoadsideRC i dont know, maybe just because i watched many videos about the mst and searched german online shops and tried to find out which shop has the best offer. i think i just have the feel to know the mst better. stupid, i know😅😅
The best way to get into it is either this car or the MST RMX2.0S RTR. Both have pros and cons. Both will be better with upgrades (like many RTR vehicles).
Hey brother, do you have a video that talks and explains about what best motor and esc combo? And also explains what motor "turns" mean and also how to mach up the correct "amp" to decide when buying an esc and match the correct motor to go with it. Bottom line I would like to learn is what does all these numbers mean when it comes to Rc drift cars. Thnx bro.
Hello! A lot to say here, so let's work through it piece by piece. There is no single "best" motor and ESC combo. Here is an example of cheaper vs expensive ESC: th-cam.com/video/LPVY8W74l5c/w-d-xo.html Here is a comparison of 10.5T vs 13.5T: th-cam.com/video/VayXMGIyndM/w-d-xo.html There isn't a need to "match amps" when deciding to buy a combo. The more amps, the more power. Check out those two videos linked, and let me know what further questions you have.
AMain hobbies has them for $330: www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=el&merchant_id=4b85b2b7-558e-4304-89fc-54958c8f47f0&website_id=caf4cba5-8e5f-43be-93b7-934f1a36d50d&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amainhobbies.com%2Fyokomo-yd2-1-10-2wd-rtr-drift-car-w-supra-body-red-yokdp-yd2rtrr-1%2Fp1433930
There are three solutions: 1) Reverse the throttle signal on the controller 2) Re-calibrate the throttle channel to the ESC 3) Swap the two motor wires. Try them! They should help!
sad that this kit should of been the best RTR on the market hands down if it had good electronics, if yokomo used their own baseline electronics such as SP02 V2 servo, a yg-302 gyro and sp4 esc/motor combo and 3ch tx/reciever then absolutely would of been fantastic and worth every cent. rather then buying a kit and having to fix it by replacing the garbage electronics that ruin it.
Agree - I had much higher hopes in the electronics area. After an alignment and swapping most of the electronics (still running brushed), it works much better now.
thats sad to see.. Yokomo used to be of the highest standards, now looks like they just jumped on the money grab and tossed that P.O.S. out to the market to grab money from the new to rc drift crowed... i just checked the price.. at that price point you would expect better.
The core chassis is still really solid. Since this video, this car has been my son's main drift car. All we have done to it is a controller/gyro/servo upgrade and changed the alignment. Car drives great now.
I would still take the MST over this pile of crap no brushless motor shit Gyro . The body complete and utter trash compared to the one that you get with the MST. Yokomo has definitely been sliding down the hill.
Bro, comparing both out of the box, yeah the MST is far better value for the money. However… the Yokomo is the choice of professionals and while the ATR is filled with really basic stuff, that’s all it was meant to do: be able to get you started in the world of RWD drifting. It wasn’t meant to be “the best”. If you wanted “the best” Yokomo chassis, you should’ve gotten in line for the YD-2ZX release because THAT is the YD-2 chassis to have (as it has literally EVERY hop-up and option part available!) though no electronics or battery. As for the MST, yes it still will be the most popular choice for the guy starting out if they choose to go with an RTR/ATR instead of a kit. However, the downside is that parts support is limited for anything MST versus what you can get for the YD-2. Just my two cents, bro.
@@taimaishu-nao1922 lmao!!!! First of all I have a YD2 ZX. It does not come with every hop up part available. I spent another 400 finishing that chassis. I also have a SX3, MST2.5 and a onisiki Hana. Waiting on my reved which should be here this week. In no way shape or form is Yokomo the best. Or I wouldn’t be doing the conversion on my SX111 to try to keep it competitive. 10 years ago I would’ve agreed nowadays not even close. The fact that they would release this ready to run turd the way that it is. Well in my opinion proves Yokomo is trying to survive off of their name. There is no way I would recommend this pile of shit for anybody starting off drifting. if it said MST instead of Yokomo I guarantee you would be saying the same thing. Just because it says Yokomo don’t make it good

Awesome! Glad you like it. Good luck with your drifting!
MST ARE SOLID BEGINNERS BUT I FASTLY SWITCHED TO A YOKOMO YD2-SX3 AND HAVE BEEN SUPER PLEASED WITH IT!
Glad to hear you enjoy it!
Same here.
The stock MST RTR is already so easy and fun to drift, so I went for the YD-2 and am excited to see how that one will perform! 👍
The best rewiew on YT!
I know everything already
Thx a lot
Cheers
Always enjoy your in-depth reviews. Appreciate you taking the time. Always a pleasure Brother. Right On 👊

No headaches.
This is the practice area. We also have a full track we drift at.

There is no single "best" motor and ESC combo.

They are not loud, no.
I was in drift, but i sell it, i was thinking to give another change, but with MST again
I hope you try and enjoy it!
The futaba gyd 450 has been discontinued they don’t make it anymore
Correct
@@RoadsideRC what would be a great replacement the futaba 550
@@Dragnssmoke Yes - I am running the GYD550 now, and it is GREAT - even without a fancy controller to run it.
@@RoadsideRC well I ordered the futaba 470 after watching your video I’m hoping me car slides now
Uhm bro can you help me the beginning rc car cheapest car?
That is a very broad question.
Check this video out, just ignore the "kid" part: th-cam.com/video/iySxLEkusAA/w-d-xo.html
man, am i able to put gr86 case on this supra
Yes - you can put different body shells on them.
@@RoadsideRC the size would be fit? just worry about the width or length of two different cases!! thanks man
@lauleo.23 Yes - you will need to check the wheelbase - but there are MANY alternatives.
@@RoadsideRC same brand should be fit?
@@RoadsideRC a90 width 190mm and gr86 one 200mm
How much
Here is where I suggest buying it from: alnk.to/aWDxdGm
sad that this kit should of been the best RTR on the market hands down if it had good electronics, if yokomo used their own baseline electronics such as SP02 V2 servo, a yg-302 gyro and sp4 esc/motor combo and 3ch tx/reciever then absolutely would of been fantastic and worth every cent. rather then buying a kit and having to fix it by replacing the garbage electronics that ruin it.
Agree - I had much higher hopes in the electronics area.
After an alignment and swapping most of the electronics (still running brushed), it works much better now.
How much did ur red rc car cost
Here you go: amzn.to/3R23Y9o
why does the gyro wobble!? looks horrible.
It is turned 100% gyro gain from the factory.
😢
For what you get you’d think it would be $199.
The base chassis costs more than that...
The body doesn’t look good, compared to MST RTR body version.
Agree - the MST has a much nicer body.
thats sad to see.. Yokomo used to be of the highest standards, now looks like they just jumped on the money grab and tossed that P.O.S. out to the market to grab money from the new to rc drift crowed... i just checked the price.. at that price point you would expect better.
The core chassis is still really solid.
Since this video, this car has been my son's main drift car. All we have done to it is a controller/gyro/servo upgrade and changed the alignment. Car drives great now.
@@RoadsideRC yea but at that price point , you shouldnt need to upgrade just about everything but the chassis.
I would still take the MST over this pile of crap no brushless motor shit Gyro . The body complete and utter trash compared to the one that you get with the MST. Yokomo has definitely been sliding down the hill.
I have the MST RTR also.
After I get more seat time, I will certainly do a comparison.
Bro, comparing both out of the box, yeah the MST is far better value for the money.
However… the Yokomo is the choice of professionals and while the ATR is filled with really basic stuff, that’s all it was meant to do: be able to get you started in the world of RWD drifting. It wasn’t meant to be “the best”. If you wanted “the best” Yokomo chassis, you should’ve gotten in line for the YD-2ZX release because THAT is the YD-2 chassis to have (as it has literally EVERY hop-up and option part available!) though no electronics or battery.
As for the MST, yes it still will be the most popular choice for the guy starting out if they choose to go with an RTR/ATR instead of a kit. However, the downside is that parts support is limited for anything MST versus what you can get for the YD-2.
Just my two cents, bro.
@@taimaishu-nao1922 lmao!!!! First of all I have a YD2 ZX. It does not come with every hop up part available. I spent another 400 finishing that chassis. I also have a SX3, MST2.5 and a onisiki Hana. Waiting on my reved which should be here this week. In no way shape or form is Yokomo the best. Or I wouldn’t be doing the conversion on my SX111 to try to keep it competitive. 10 years ago I would’ve agreed nowadays not even close. The fact that they would release this ready to run turd the way that it is. Well in my opinion proves Yokomo is trying to survive off of their name. There is no way I would recommend this pile of shit for anybody starting off drifting. if it said MST instead of Yokomo I guarantee you would be saying the same thing. Just because it says Yokomo don’t make it good
