Just to give you an insight I use the gundam model panel marker to do the fine lines for my body shell. The Gundam toy models take a lot of precision to make them look real. This marker workers wonders and takes a lot of stress out of the designer when doing fine lines and has very little or no smudge at all. Besides RC drifting me and the wife do miniatures, airbrushing and many other hobbies to make them look real we know all the tricks and trades to detailing small model toys. Enjoy!
Thanks for your tips! Much appreciated. I will definitely look into that marker as well. That's awesome you both sound super creative and definitely a great hobby for that! 🤟🙏
Watching this channel makes me realize when I get mine it won’t be that easy to learn due to all the tuning I might have to do and practice but I’m here to stay 💪🏽
As a fan of your channel I just want to give you my honest opinion and I just feel like you upgraded to soon. I have my mst completely stock except for replacing the servo and I got it down pretty good already. In this video when you tried to upgrade your mst in order to fix your front end grip problem I feel it only made thing worse or the same because now you have to adjust to the new set up before you can even learn the technique. Someone in the comment mention something about throttle control and less angle I think that is the key to solving your problem.
Thanks for your thoughts and opinions. Alot of the upgrades are because I wanted to not that I needed to. The stock setup out of the box is really one of the best to get on the track and get into drifting. I spent way too much upgrading certain parts but the carbon chassis was mostly cosmetic. Most of the grip issues was the need for front and rear alignment which I address in a separate video.
I personally wouldn't turn the servo speed down on the transmitter nor mess with steering expo cause from my experience it only makes the servo feel glitchy. If you have a programmable servo just try to tune it for the feel you want, also make sure the gain knob on your v4 gyro is in the middle position if your gyro gain is set to a channel on your transmitter and also turn off gyro assist mode if you haven't already 👍
Thank you for your inputs! Currently the gyro is on hard and normal mode with red led. I'm not sure how to program the servo so that is something I need to look into. I believe the gain is set to zero on the gyro itself and setup on a channel on the transmitter. I am running around negative 74 gain on the radio for the gyro.
@@edriftin yea on the v4 gyro the gain knob needs to be turned to the center if not it will also give the servo a weird feedback/respond, I use the v4 gyro on most of my chassis. If you're going to the track on Thursday I can help you tune the servo with my programmer.
Love your setup and the BMW Shell looks epic!! I have the E30 M3RB and put the same upgrades on mine and wondering what you have done to the turnbuckles? What is your Front and Rear Camber set at now? This is the cool stuff we need to know please. 👍🏼
Thank you my friend! I actually have a video coming showing all my alignment settings on the setup station. I'm testing these settings today and expect good results. I will report back if the setup is solid 🤘😎
Why didnt you install the lights for the exhaust??? I see people getting them blinking an goin pretty much alike the throttle pull... but so those kits like the ones you baught do those lights just stay on or have to buy some smart unit or expensive receiver to get it to blink on par with throttle pull if that makes sense... thanks!
@nkastis8211 so for this BMW body I chose to not install lights. My ER34 Skyline body has a light kit from MyTrickRC called the afterburner. It comes with the headlights, taillights and leds for the exhaust. Mine is just plugged into the receiver. It comes with the control module for programming the lights and comes pre programmed. It was around $50 I believe from AMain Hobbies.
@edriftin im honestly not looking to do any lights either but i do want to get that little light in the exhaust to flash when throttled but like i was asking if you plug it in way it comes from Amazon or ebay it would just stay light 24/7 when powered on? And also i would need one of those modules just to set up the exhaust blinking most likely right?
@nkastis8211 i have seen some where you can get just the exhaust leds that come with an exhaust pipe and they are motion sensitive so any time your driving and you hit the throttle the vibrations make the lights in the tailpipe flash. Otherwise yes you would need a light module like the one that came with mytrickrc afterburner kit.
@edriftin awesome thanks appreciate the feedback i just dont think the amazon ones with just the tip and the wiring wouldn't have the option to flash by vibration/motion... only because its only $8-9 part ya no
Again...awesome videos and extremely helpful to newbies to drifting such as myself. I've definitely learned a lot from your channel and really enjoy the quality info you're putting out. I've found that using the throttle to turn instead of a full lock turn helps with spinning out a lot. I've learned less full lock steering input helps a ton with steering and spinning out. Did you swap over the carbon fiber chassis yourself or did you have a buddy do it? Just wondering how hard it was ?? Keep the videos coming !!
Thank you for your support and suggestions! Definitely am still getting used to using the throttle to turn for sure. It's getting easier every session I drive. I swapped out the chassis completely by myself. Just take your time and do it sections at a time I found to be easier to not get screws mixed up. Thank you for watching I do appreciate you. 🙏🤟

@edriftin u got some body lines if you need any
Watching this channel makes me realize when I get mine it won’t be that easy to learn due to all the tuning I might have to do and practice but I’m here to stay 💪🏽
One of the best mods i did on my Rmx 2.0 was the Tr60 shocks. Made the car more consistent and predictable. I highly recommend them
Thanks for sharing! I have just recently upgraded to Yokomo big bores with some upgrades as well which will be in a upcoming video. Can't wait to try!
@@edriftin perfect those yokomo big bores are great a big improvement over the stock plastic shocks
Absolutely the TDA Shocks are the best I’ve ever built and they feel like silk. I run MST 5wt Mineral Oil and they’re awesome!
drifting in style
😎🤘
I love this channel bro
Pretty dope Erik . Looking forward to more 👍🏻🙌
Thanks Michael! 😎🤟
Dig the POV 👍
Thanks! 🤘

Awesome glad to hear that. One of my main reasons for buying the mst was to stay cheap , keep it cheap and just have fun.

Collecting body shells is fun just saying 😊
Hell yeah!! Can't wait till I have a wall full. 😎
@@edriftin painting them is a lot of fun. Just make sure you get polycarbonate paint and not plastic paint, trust me lol!
Hey, what color is your gyro at? Green or red? I have the same gyro and I noticed the red mode makes the car oversteer a lot. Loving the videos!
Set to red at the moment. Thanks for the info! I will have to try the green as well. 🤟
I forgot to say, to put the gyro in the green mode you need to put positive gain in your transmitter
What magnet body mounts did you use ?
@drasticx_odieee774 www.amainhobbies.com/mst-stealth-magnetic-body-mount-set-mxs-820141/p1275490
aret hose wheels mst ?
Yeah.
