      The price isn’t that good for someone starting out in this scale.. well worth the price though for someone looking into a high end 1/28. After motor and esc, the kit is $450+ before upgrades. MiniZ is a better option for someone wanting to start in the smaller scale class

    I'd never thought you would cover this scale of racing, as you had previously mentioned that the Kyosho Mini-Z's weren't your cup of tea.
    But, now that you have your hands on a dedicated 1/28 scale lipo chassis, you're not going to be disappointed! Here in the U.S., we have a few classes we race in. The 2500kv motor is a good place to start, then as you get better, 3500kv, and then mod (where the sky is the limit). I'm sure the fine people at the club you attend can suggest the right class to begin with and obviously what you need.
    You alluded to the tolerances of all the parts at this scale. That also applies to driving! Once your car is built, you'll want to pair it with at least a mid range or high end transmitter. And then once on the track, you'll need to adjust (reduce) your steering dual rate / end points. The RX28's steering is super responsive and the track layouts will require fast reflexes and a very nuanced driving style. As a result, with enough practice (stay in the middle of the track), your reaction times and reflexes will improve, and 1/10 racing will seem like a cakewalk.
    Tire prep is essential. There are tire truers to shave off the tires, but there are also tires that don't require trimming. You may need to glue the sidewalls if you begin traction rolling, after reducing the steering end points.
    One downside to these kits from Reflex, GL, Atomic etc., is that the pieces are so tiny! The instruction manuals are online pdfs, but if you need extra help, there are TH-cam videos out there of the assembly of such kits. Reflex is a good brand out of the box because you don't really need anything else to enhance it. With other brands, some of the hop ups are pretty much required, driving the overall cost up.
    I hope you enjoy this scale enough to perhaps cover your progress, similar to your 1/10 buggy racing series.

    GL Racing is the Tamiya of 1/28.
    Buy basic chassis.
    Then buy ALL the hopups.

    • @ijdod
      @ijdod หลายเดือนก่อน

      I understand what you're trying to say, but I think honestly the OG Kyosho mini-Z is the Tamiya. Great fun little cars, you can spend a ton of money uprading them, but at the end of the day buying a different brand will get you a better can for less money. The GL cars are generally competive, especially at the local level.

    • @BoontedStuff
      @BoontedStuff หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@ijdod You're right, Kyosho Mini-Z is the Tamiya as it's a basic chassis with some strong design limitations. And like Tamiya, we actually cater for minimally upgraded cars.
      Not sure who to compare GL to then - the cars are useless out of the box and not competitive with any other chassis without dumping money into them.

      Perhaps some of those not-quite-B-list car brands that are cheap and not great not terrible (from a performance level, anyway)? Say perhaps 3Racing?
      I like the mini-Z, but I hate the NiMH AAA batteries. There's a reason we moved to lipo ages ago.

    • @RCKickschannel
      @RCKickschannel  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Same as every other racing RC series but with a much higher difficulty in manufacturing. Big = expensive, small = cheap is only a factor of raw material volume costs. FYI when it comes to RC's, that's negligible. The cost is in design, testing, tooling and production numbers. The higher the precision, the harder it is and that costs more money.

      You still have to buy electronics.
      I understand the quality concept.
      But don't expect a lot of people to jump into these.
      Especially when the Mini-Z are sub $200.
      Seems like a major rip off, to me. 💯🤷‍♂️

      ⁠@@Wanted1069can’t really compare an apple to an orange!
      If cost was a driving factor then yes buying a Mini-Z would make sense, just like buying a Fiat rather then a Ferrari to get you from A to B but sometimes that’s not enough and we crave something a little more exquisite.
      It’s for a niche market yes but in terms of rip off there’s more profit margin in a mass produced Mini-Z than there is in the likes of a Reflex RX28.
      Horses for courses 👍🏻

    • @ijdod
      @ijdod หลายเดือนก่อน

      They are, and none of these small cars are cheap. Reflex is on the spendy side of the class, though.
      Mini-Z is a different beast. They're a fun entry class, but once you do down the upgrade rabbit hole they get spendy fast. At that point, the lipo classes start to make more sense quickly.
