Great video and the car is awesome! We are just getting into the drift scene and really appreciate what you're doing...it's all really helpful. Thanks and we look forward to what's next!
I've been using and tuning my dc10 for over 1 mth.. absolutely love it..will be using it on my next comp.. i also own grk5,rdx, md1 and rmx so i know how it compares
And yes..u got one comment spot on..its loves big angle but gets really slow at angle. I've been trying to solve that but still cant figure it out yet. big angle with speed.. Still not there yet
I was going to look at the rear setup for this. Noticing via tire wear that I am wearing further out on the tire than expected. May need to dial some additional rear camber in to ensure I am getting the full contact patch at the higher angle.
@@RoadsideRC not really. More of geometry than mods. I used spacers in front to prevent some bindings at full droop at high angle..and to increase the camber becuse lts hard getting more camber in front without increasing the track width slightly. My rear is at 2deg. Front 7deg camber. Caster 7deg (all spacers behind) And i got rid of the ugly plastic discs and used 10mm front and 8mm rear hubs
Hi Troy! love the video and thanks to keep us posted on this build, but i have a hard and curious question cuz im trying to go a lil forward and get something good. between Yok RD 2.0 and this one wich 1 perform better out the box, i know considering the DC10 is completelly new....i hope ur respose thanks again Troy! Blessings!
Happy to help! I do believe this DC10 drives better out of the box - the factory alignment settings are just better. Beyond that - the Yokomo has a higher performance ceiling as the overall chassis is lighter and has more options for tuning.
Has ordered the TA electronics (ESC and motor) and can't wait to try it out myself 👍🏻 Facebook page show some existing TA aluminium parts from other series are suitable for this DC10. Definitely look great but i wonder will it improve the overall performance.
Great! Glad to hear it Billy! Yes - I am seeing the sharing of existing TA parts...but not really seeing the benefit... Titanium turnbuckles are nice...but not very helpful in the big picture. The front axles may be a nice change. One of my front corners has a little drag. I think a front hub replacement may be helpful as a first step for me.
Troy, not remembering to record the responses is a minor overlook since you still managed to document their overall general consensus about the DC10. Funny because a lot of my local pros have tested them and they’ve said that with just a little dialing in, it’ll go toe-to-toe with Yokomo’s SD2.0. Not really surprising when Team Associated likely used a Yokomo in testing and development. Honestly, I have zero complaints about the DC10 and I feel Associated will continue to develop this car. However… what will this statement mean to other brands who’re making their own chassis like Redcat and Traxxas? Time will tell what they end up doing and hopefully we see more development from them. But if they both bow out from the competition, it’ll unfortunately mean that their customer base has spoken for them.
Thanks for the kind words Tai! I do think Team Associated has done a good job with this chassis - and many folks would be happy with it. I don't know if this really has any impact on Redcat or Traxxas....especially Traxxas. Traxxas is doing their whole own thing, and I really think the audience does not overlap a lot between the DC10 and the 4Tec. The Redcat - kit for kit, has a lot of the same features this chassis does...and is half the cost. Again, not sure if the DC10 will steal away many customers from the Redcat.
I got one and ideed it is a great kit for the price. I missed out on stock setup, as i did put it together a bit different and body it drives with has... weird widths :S nvm, it performs suprisingly well, but i came here to ask what is that backfire kit? :D
If not going into comps, which brand chassis would you recommend as a starter if you had around $200 to spend? And same question goes for ESC/motor combo ($200 or less)?....one option I am contemplating is to 3d print the chassis and suspension parts, then have bulk of money to invest into electronics. ...Thanks for your reply...... ✌✌
My honest opinion is that if you only have $400 to spend, get a RTR. ESPECIALLY if this is your first drift car. The only exception to this is if you already have drift-worthy electronics laying around AND you have a local group or track near you with folks who can help you get the kit up and running correctly. I see MANY new folks who come in, cut budget, don't know how to set up a car...then get frustrated when it drives poorly and give up. My take on the current 3 RTRs: th-cam.com/video/yRmuX4-UNmE/w-d-xo.html
$200 will get you a redcat rds builders' kit or pretty close to a dc10. Hobbywing quickrun 10bl120 g2 is $99 and then you gotta find a servo and radio.
@@RoadsideRC Thanks, I'll check out the vid ...Ive probably watched already, but will gladly again for the reminder....there is a track fairly local. I have visited it and asked a lot of questions to a great group of people running. Most had the ReveD RDX set up. And I think 2 had Yokomo YD2. I got to run 3 cars, which was awesome of them to let me. I have been looking at the RedCat and does seem pretty capable out of the box. Not a fan of the body though ....lol .....but I'm sure I can fit something else on. Unsure of the wheelbase atm.....Thanks again..and thanks for the content you provide...✌️✌️
@@mikescherrer4923 Thanks, I've looked at the RedCat a little and seems like most use that ESC and a 10.5 motor pretty consistently I think. I've also considered 3d printing a chassis. Ive found a few files similar to the ReveD. Like any hobby there is cost and I understand that. Just trying to figure a good entry level with some room to upgrade but lower cost to start.
@@rayk141 If that's the case, I'd echo Roadside's advice. An MST RTR or a yokomo Rookie Drift is probably a solid place to start, because they just work out of the box and you don't have to worry about whether you did stuff right or made the correct choices on setup. They also both have plenty of upgradability.
Great video and the car is awesome! We are just getting into the drift scene and really appreciate what you're doing...it's all really helpful. Thanks and we look forward to what's next!
Awesome! Glad to hear what I do is helpful - it is a lot of work, so thank you!
Man! All I can think when i see roadside rc on a track is , that guy can drive!
Thank you - I appreciate it.
I have gotten to drive one of these at my local track and it handles really good. I can see one of these in my future.
Nice! It does great for me!
Thanks for your feedback on the setup and what the 5 points were. My kit arrives next week and will be rewatching your build video for tips too.
Great! I hope you enjoy it!
Great feedback, looks like one to put on my list.
Thanks!
It is a solid chassis!
Another great vid. This channel has helped me greatly on my own personal RC drift journey. Thanks
Awesome! Glad to hear they have helped - I really appreciate hearing that!

The car surprises me with how easy it can be to drive.
Any must-do mods in your opinion?

great informative video. i was looking at one of these but their smaller than i thought.
Glad to help.
This is the standard 1:10 size of RC drift cars.
@@RoadsideRC ok i thought they were slightly larger but it wont stop me from getting one later on

@@RoadsideRC Thanks alot troy! i choose DC10! 😊
Having fun when you were supposed to be working 😅 Been there!
I'm sorry, I don't understand your comment. Can you explain.
@RoadsideRC talking not filming. Lol
@@JimmyB55 Ahhh!! Yes, of course. :) I got distracted...

Great stuff!! What pinion are you running?
Thanks!
Sorry for the delay. I had to get my hands on the car to see.
Currently a 25T pinion.

Is this one ready to run ?
It is not. This is built from a kit.
