- The number one question we get about RWD RC Drifting...how cheaply can we get into it? Nobody ever asks the question about a top-shelf build.
Enter the Sakura D5S.
This chassis really sparked this conversation again for me. At less than $100, it is the cheapest RWD drift chassis on the market. Especially when you consider it even comes with tires, wheels, a pinion gear, and magnetic body mount in the box!!!!
The goal with this build: get drifting for less $$$ than the MST RMX2.0 RTR. You can frequently find it for $360-370. Example: amzn.to/3cRAs39
First, get the Sakura D5S chassis: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...
What I used in this video ($328 build)
- Flysky GT3C: amzn.to/3jlJgkq
- Savox SC-1251MG servo: amzn.to/2Gt3Z6Y
- Boom Racing Gyro: www.boomracingrc.com/high-sta...
- Hobbywing 1080 ESC: amzn.to/3kZiEGb
- Hackmotor 12T motor: amzn.to/3jouKsc
- CoolPlay rc body: amzn.to/36hpFy5
What I normally use in this chassis:
- Futaba 4PM: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...
- Savox SC-1251MG servo: amzn.to/2Gt3Z6Y
- Futaba GYD450 gyro: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...
- Hobbywing XR Pro ESC: amzn.to/3n89SaT
- Hobbywing 10.5T Bandit motor: amzn.to/3n8Sm62

thx for the vid.. Love your easy and mellow voice and you talking about RC. Greetings from the Netherlands!
I appreciate the compliment.
Thanks for stopping by!
This was a great video! Drifting is a lot of fun 👍🏁
Yes sir!
Thank you. I hope to inspire more people to try it.
Cool vid, literally turned a light bulb on in my head when you said about using a 3s battery if you can't get a lower turn motor 👌🏾
Awesome! Glad it helped!
I love your Videos. I'm new to drifting and you help me a lot! Thanks
Great!
Feel free to ask questions along the way.
I'm running a hexfly 1040 and hackmoto 13T. It definitely works for me. I just recently grabbed a Skyrc sensored 10.5 combo for $50. I have about $230 invested in this drift car.
Awesome! Can you share the gyro and servo setup you are running?
JX 9kg, PowerHD G1
The skyrc combo is butter smooth!!
Awesome video 📹 great job 👏
Thank you!
Awesome man I want to continue the rc hobby through the winter and looking to get into drifting for inside my basement and in my garage I'm very lost and intimated and don't know where to start. It looks very fun for garage and also learning car control
RWD drifting is especially good for in the garage and with other folks.
Search on TH-cam for "AWD vs RWD drift intro" and another of my videos should come up. Both styles have their costs.
Cool build
Thank you!
Not a waste of my time at all, just what I was looking for to help me with my introduction to rc drifting! Thanks!
Great!
Let me know if you have other questions!
@@RoadsideRC ok I sure will and thank you for responding I really appreciate it!
@@RoadsideRC so if I am trying to spend less as possible for now can I use a mamba x esc & castle 7700kv motor that I already have or do you recommend I get a cheap combo with drift specs? And do you recommend a low profile esc or full size... high speed or high torque?
@@guerilladk1000 Yes, you can use whatever electronics you have laying around to get started. The only drawback is that motor is going to be FAST, which will make mid-corner control a little harder.
In the long run, you will want a powerful ESC with some specific tuning options, but for now - just get it running!
@@RoadsideRC awesome! Thank you!
Great information.
Glad it was helpful!
I enjoy the action/driving stuff, but I like the nerdy technical stuff even better. And saving money is great and all, but the word "cheap" implies buying junk and making compromises. I'm old enough to appreciate the "buy once, cry once" mantra, but I wasn't always (shocker, right? lol) and I support your efforts to get more people into a hobby that can get VERY expensive very quickly.
Exactly! There are better combinations ot there, but a lot of folks are looking to spend less just to try it.
@T.Wallace- I agree, something to keep in mind when getting a rig.
But D5S can be resell fast as an RTR(after you built it). So you can invest in better chassis. It is popular because of it resell time, fast selling for an upgrade.
Beautiful wow like it video friend
Thank you!
Welcome friend
Great 👍 video
Thank you!
Been playing with my TT01 on drift tyres, using a FS GT3B (yes B) and thinking about trying RWD rc drift, so watching some of your videos. The section about the GT3C thus made me lol a little.
Hope my videos have been helpful as you look at RWD drift.
Do you have a track near you?
@@RoadsideRC Honestly haven't done much looking yet. Plus I don't have a car of my own yet, so typically I'm driving only within walking distance of the house, which does allow for a few decent asphalt pads. Probably will do more looking if I get closer to deciding to buy something.
Currently doing the same budget style for all three of my kids with longevity in mind for a couple of years, surpass 13.5t motor, hobbywing 60a esc, afrc gyro, omg servo and flysky gt3c tx but have decided to spend the extra on reve d rdx chassis since the reviews seem to be soo good on it out of the box
That is a fun idea!!!
Honestly - I would recommend you spend that extra money on a better gyro instead of on the chassis.
If you go with the Sakura D5 MRv2 chassis, the cost is literally half of the ReveD RDX...x3!
That is enough money to upgrade all 3 cars to Futaba 3PV controllers and upgrade to a GYD470 gyro.
That would be my suggestion.
Love the video I am trying to learn as much as I can about the drifting RC hobby because I've always wanted to get into it with a actually dedicated car
Great! Glad this was helpful.
The RTR MST RMX2.0S is still the easiest way to get into drifting. This chassis is better though, if you are comfortable piecing it together.
@@RoadsideRC ya at the moment I'm using my 4tec and I have a set of drift tires on the way and one day I will do a drift bild
The cool thing is you can pick up parts slowly along the way.
Example: getting a brushless sensored setup for the 4tec...then later on move it to a chassis like this Sakura.
@@RoadsideRC That's what my plan was was to eventually save up for the chassis and just use a bunch of spare parts to start with
This is helpful,im looking forward for another helpful content like this,🍺🍺🤘🏻cheers
Glad to help!
@@RoadsideRC 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤘🏻
Awesome video keep up the great work mate , im glad i found and subscribed to your channel awesome content 🇳🇿
Thank you sir!
Are you into rc drifting?
Roadside RC yep love it 2 years in ,I brought rmx.20 as a kit and SLOWLY collecting my electronics ,lol should’ve got the RTR just to get going ,with kits like d5 everybody can drift with a good budget that wont break the bank
Yes sir! I have an RMX also.
Good luck!
Roadside RC thankyou 🙏look forward to your next upload
Yes i seen your clips on rmx thats how I found your channel
Awesome vid! Definitely recommend renaming the video though to something along the lines of "budget rc drift car" or "cheap rc drifting" etc because that's what people would be searching for on youtube
Thanks for the tip!
Some money to be saved on the servo for sure. I used the hobbystar HS-3301LV in a build for a friend recently. It's plenty fast, more than enough torque, and smooth. They are $40 regularly and I got mine on sale for $27.
Nice! Good tip!!!
After running a 27t 540 brushed setup in one for a few weeks, slap a bigger pinion on there. That 550 has mountains of torque and there's no grip so you can get that higher RPM easily by gearing up. And I had the same problem mounting the motor, I ended up milling a new slot in the motor plate.
I thought of drilling a new hole, or opening the slot, but didn't think this combo would stay in there long.
You are right, it needed more gearing.
Had to subbb wow mate wooow😘🔥🔥❗❗👌
Thank you!
Oh this is the exact video I've been looking for! Looking to get into drift and wanted to go with the d5
Great!
The brushed works, but I would suggest you go ahead and invest in a better brushless setup and a good gyro.
@@RoadsideRC thanks! What are your thoughts on your current sakura d5 build compared to rmx 2.0 brushless
Seeing as you invested $300 on that compared to the mst rmx 2.0 brushless that is $360
The RMX vs Sakura is a difficult question.
The RMX kit vs Sakura kit - I would go with the Sakura.
RMX RTR vs Sakura kit...depends much more on budget and what parts you already have.
Do you already have a good tx/rx that allows you to control the 3rd channel (for the gyro)?
Do you already have a ESC and motor combo you could throw at it?
@@RoadsideRC I love the detail in your reply 😍... and to answer those... no no and no. Thisbwould he my first drift rc
Your content really get going bro, great. Ive been looking forward for drift car with brushed motor. But what I saw by you, I think still it will be more comfort to drive with brushless motor right ?
The brushless sensored setup is better...but this setup with a more powerful brushed motor or 3S would also do well.
Hello Friend! Many thanks! Like 27
Thank you!
3 racing makes great cars! I have a 3 racing cero ultra awesome car!!
Nice! I haven't tried their racing stuff yet.
Love my gt3b with a 3s lipo mod.
Great idea!
For somebody who is wanting to get into drifting I really appreciated this video. Curious though, what is the most expensive set up I can do? 😁 In all seriousness I’m hoping next spring to do a set up like this. Thanks for the information.
Great!
I think a cheaper brushless setup would be better in the long run than the brushed, but it works to get the car going for sure.
@@RoadsideRC Ok- I'll look at just starting with a brushless set up. Thanks.
Man 4 months later and I just found this. This help me out a lot
Great!
Let me know if you have questions!
@@RoadsideRC I will have a cheap motor and esc. For that same chassis just have to get gyro and servo
Great!
I really suggest not skimping on the gyro. The Futaba GYD450 that I have been running is really good.
@@RoadsideRC ok will look for one. Any suggestions on a servo
With this car, you don't necessarily need a fast servo, but a good quality one.
I have had good luck with Savix low-profile servos, and the ReveD RS-ST drift special.
The cheaper servo like I used in this video worked, but you can tell it is not as precise.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you sir!
Helpfull video thank you. May you suggest one cheaper Brushless setup?
There are a lot of 10.5T motors available. Amazon even has the GoolRC with adjustable timing for rather cheap. amzn.to/3beeKGa
I just ordered one of these Hobbywing BL120 ESCs - it will be interesting to see how good it is compared to the one I run: amzn.to/3udCDGs
👏 👏 👏
Thank you!
When I built my drift car I paid $230 because I had just about everything electronics wise and the chassis I used is the mst rmx 2.0
Great!
Very informative vid! Where did you get the black camaro body? Or what make is it. Thanks!
I believe it is a Pro-line on-road racing body.
I picked it up used from a friend.
I really appreciate your videos! So, a brushed motor doesn’t really cut it for drifting? I had been wondering.
Oh, just saw your related reply below. Brushless it is...
Honestly, brushed does work!
It has the control, but this setup needs more power. Either a 10T motor, or 3S.
BUT...if you have the $$$ to go brushless, it is nicer.
Next EP .Yd2z review and compare with Mst Sakura D5. Thank you for Best budget build.
Why the YD2Z specifically?
@@RoadsideRC yd2 Z it's the latest budget kit from Yokomo.
3 Best RC Drift Cars On The Market
I also used a brushed esc and motor system
How have you liked running that so far.
@@RoadsideRC Its great except its impossible to find a gyro at my local hobby shops
I want to see the blue chevy drift .....lol
Could you try and review that rc drift using combo brushless goolrc 3900kv? Bcs I saw on youtoube mostly that combo brushless use for off-road car,,,,and I think its also not really expensive combo,,,thanks
That goolrc setup would not work very well in drifting. You are better to use a senssored brushless setup for drifting.
Do you think a sensorless brushless motor is a good upgrade over the brushed motor? Great video btw!
I have been looking at this motor esc combo:
a.aliexpress.com/_mOIIZ9z
And this servo:
a.aliexpress.com/_mP1WVLt
What do you think of these parts? I wanna minimize the budget as much as possible since I’m not looking to drift competitively, just for hobby and killing times lol. Another option I could go with is 13t 540 motor since I already have a hobby wing 1060 esc.
Those parts you linked would not really be much if an upgrade. If you already have that 13T motor and brushed ESC, just start there. Get it running and practice that way first.
Later, you can upgrade to a nicer brushless system depending on your needs.
Do not cut budget on the gyro and servo!! Those are key!
im in a tight budget. Its brushed good for a budget and for a begginer? Definitly I cant afford brushless
It will work for sure. You will end up spending more $$ later as you do upgrade to brushless...but honestly, I have one brushed car just to prove that it works!
So it is ok to use hobbywing 1080 in a drift car? I thought it is most of the time used for crawlers
It can be used!
It is simply a brushed ESC with a lot of programming features. Of course, I had to do things like turn off drag brake, and things like that.
Now - a different question - is it the best thing for a drift car? Heck no!! But, if you are on a super-tight budget, then it can work.
you can also get a dumbo rc recever w a gyro
The built-in gyros on those controllers are not setup for drifting. They are setup to help you stop a slide, not keep one. You would want a drift-specific gyro to really have good performance.
@@RoadsideRC ok thanks for the info
@roadside rc thanks for your advice on this chassis. I'm trying to save cost in shipping from 3racing online so would like to know if there're other necessary hopups/upgrades to purchase for the d5s v2 kit pls. Read elsewhere that some pp find issues with the stock steering in how it touches wheels? and replaced the steering arms etc or offset wheels etc? i know you mentioned they run great out of box months before but wondering if you've encountered similar issues or if any other necessary upgrade parts to replace from stock? I'm not racing comp or anything but just want to drift without issues like wheel rubbing against parts on full steer for example. Would appreciate more advice pls! 🙂
Great! Glad you are picking up a D5S kit. I still think it is really good.
Yes, with the stock wheels, it rubbed the turnbuckles at full lock. However, I swapped wheels almost immediately to match the body I was running, so don't have that issue.
I would suggest picking up a different set of wheels to help with this. I used MST adjustable offset wheels.
However, you might want to check, as I believe the version 2 might have solved this.
@@RoadsideRC would be great if it was fixed in ver2! =) otherwise, any idea how much offset (is it positive or negative offset that's required and +/- 3,5,7 or 9?) is needed to prevent rubbing? sorry i'm not familiar with offsets. any pointers would certainly help.
I apologize, I purchased the adjustable offset wheels from MST and didn't look back. I believe it is a lower offset you would need.
Does the d5s come with all the things to make the car actually work?
No, it is a base kit.
All of the things you see me add to it in the video are the items you need.
A full list is in the video description.
With the issues you had with the Hackmoto motor, what other motor would you recommend?
Good question - I never had a chance to try to fit another motor in it besides my Hobbywing brushless that I normally run.
Sorry about that.
How did you setup the flysky for the gyro I have the same transmitor and am struggling with the 3rd channel setup 😆
Once plugged into the 3rd channel, you adjust the gyro gain with the endpoint setting.
That's super helpful thank you, hoping I can swap the programble one out with my onisiki gyro as I only have the one fly sky and 2 drifters
This is exactly what I was looking for. Would you say the MST is still the better choice if you can swing the extra $70 ?
The overall quality of the MST is higher. The plastic is nicer, that type of thing.
Still, this chassis is faster than my MST and hangs with much more expensive cars!
@@RoadsideRC thanks for replying! Going to put my inexperience on full display and ask how the chassis can be faster? I thought that might be motor/battery bound.
It is all about traction and weight.
The MST chassis is heavier (more weight to push).
The Sakura D5S is also a RR configuration (rear wheel drive, rear motor) so there is more weight over the wheels. Equals more traction.
can you do a video explaining tghe differences between motor types!? like 10.5T vs 6.5T
I would like to do this! Thank you for the idea.
Basic concept: the smaller the number, the faster the motor will spin. This usually also means less torque.
@@RoadsideRC love the content regarding the gyro on athe RTR car video were you replace the factory gyro for something else, i have to try that on my car too!!
so far the oncepts i have learned about RC drifting are:
turbo and boost programming with the ESC
motor type
suspension setup
gyro setup
the car doesn tneed top aceleration since you are cornering, but it neeeds to be controllable and i think that setting up the gyro is key for slow but smooth driftingin the beggining along with suspencion setup!
That was a very weird choice of ESC and combo. First, this is a good ESC, but brushed is not good in a drifter, they just overheat. If you want cheap get a $30 aliexpress brushless combo or a $40 sensored combo. There’s also pretty nice SPT short servos for $12.
Thanks for the tips! I have never purchased stuff from aliexpress.
This combo will end up in another rc we have, so it was serving dual purposes.
While goal was just to show that you could get the car running for $300.
Do you have experience with the MST brushed RMX yet? I'd be curious what their specs are on it.
Roadside RC In our group a couple of people use these mega cheap Chinese combos an they work great, I ordered one and it arrived dead. Sensorless brushless is not great, but it works and it is very very cheap. People obsess over mega fast servos but so far we havent really confirmed they are that important. I like the channel a lot, good stuff!
Thanks!
Agree with the servo findings, especially in the Sakura D5S. The steering system is just so fast that the servo barely moves!
@@RoadsideRC What's more, sometimes fast servos have compatibility issues with gyros and would go crazy.
mine is belt version, and can't drift. need help. my is sakura d5s but belt version. i have brushless.
The belt version is a clone, not a real 3Racing D5. They have MANY issues.
I honestly think you would be better spending $100 and getting a real D5 from Super-G online store.
What battery would you recommend for the d5s
I run some standard 2S shorty packs. They don't fit in under the battery hold down tabs, but I have not had an issue with them coming out either.
Also I can't find an rc body that will fit over the motor mount.. do you bu chance know what size body fits the ds5 I appreciate your feed back thx
@@krisjohnson9850 This cheapo Vier body I show in the video fits well. I have also mounted a GTR body and the Trans Am body I normally use.
Would 190mm bodies work on this car?
You really need to go with 200mm.
If you have a 190mm, you might be able to add fender flares to cover the tires.
fyi don't pair this savox servo with a power hd g1. my front keeps shaking.
That is the Power HD gyro...and almost any gyro for that matter. That is just gyro wobble when you turn the sensitivity up too high.
That is part of the magic of the futaba gyro - you can trigger the AVCS mode that dramatically reduces gyro wobble.
Does it make a difference with motor placement . I've been looking for one in front of shock tower most I've seen is up high . I noticed that one is in the back .
Yes - motor placement is important.
As much weight as you can over rearward makes the car faster, but sometimes a little harder to drive.
Once you get used to it, it is the better way to go.
I've been watching videos and studying . I don't know what to get . I have electronics . I like that mst with the carbon fiber . That's sweet . I'm thinking just go ahead and get a good kit . Something I won't regret and wish I would have done it 2 months later .
Do you know where any nice used cars are at ? Or ever come across any for sell ?
@@RichB07 I keep my eyes on the local Facebook groups and marketplace. Occasionally you see stuff pop up.
I've been looking on market place . Nothing so far around here . I joined a few new groups this week . I'm going to get one soon . I like my on road cars . I just think I would get into it . Then I'll be coming down there more probably . My stepdaughter is here coming back down your way on 22nd . I'm going to ship that box tomorrow instead . Be easier for you that way .
The link for the chassis on eBay says no longer available
Looks like they just sold out!
Keep an eye out, they will be back.
Viper body is the best body
It does look good, and the price is ridiculous!
Tennessee? What part? Im at Ft. Campbell
Just east of Nashville.
Have you seen the announcement of Music City RC starting up? Keep your eye out - one great drift track is in the works.
@@RoadsideRC Oh cool. Yea I have seen that. A couple years ago there was a real drift event and then the rc cars had a small drift event along with it. I believe it was “Slammedenuff”. Ever since, I’ve been trying to find spots to slide. I have an RRX and can’t wait to slide again with other enthusiasts.
Can you use the flysky with a futaba gyro?
Yes - but only partially.
the Flysky has a discrete 3rd channel that lets you control the gyro gain, but is unable to trigger the AVCS mode in the Futaba gyro to get the maximum benefit.
Is there a gyro similar to the futaba brand that will would work with the flysky or another transmitter that works with the futaba gyro you recommend besides the futaba transmitter. Only reason is because i think the link you put for the boom one is out of stock right now but want to get a best one that works with the flysky or get the most affordable one to use with the futaba gyro
@@DoubleJEveryDay In my experience, the Futaba gyro and Futaba controller pairing are key.
Yes - you can use many other controllers, but unless they can trigger the AVCS mode in the Futaba gyro, you don't get the full use of the gyro.
Don't skimp on the gyro. Get the good one.
At our recent drift night, someone was using one of the Radiolink transmitters. I am not personally a fan, but it appeared it would work for controlling the Futaba gyro. I don't know for sure though, so don't want you wasting your money.
I got both of my Futaba 4-channel transmitters from eBay for $100-$150.
Hmmm i see I’ll keep hunting on eBay for one, does the hobbywing 1080 esc work with the 10.5T motor? Or is there a cheaper esc I can use with the 10.5t motor? And also is there a battery you recommend on using? Sorry for all the questions really appreciate you’re help though!
Rmx 2.0 rtr Vs D5s?
For just starting, the RMX RTR is almost a no brainer. It just makes life so simple, and drifts GREAT with a better gyro (I have a video on that also).
However, once more into the hobby, the D5S with proper electronics (not as much like you see here with the brushed motor) is faster than the RMX.
@@RoadsideRC so, this is my build, what should i change?
