Basic Guide to buying a SCALE RC Drift Car
Scale RWD RC Drifting.
· Real Scale Rear Wheel Drive
· Requires electronic gyro
· Easy to setup and drive on different surfaces
Only really gaining momentum in the last 2 years. RWD has quickly established itself as a force and the future direction for RC Drift. OTB there are now many drift chassis available. More are now coming and there are over 20 conversion kits on the market. For RWD conversions you need to remove some components from a 50:50 but also add electronics and the ability for more steering.
The key to RWD is an Electronic Gyroscope. Much like RC Helicopters, it’s almost impossible to make the infinite tiny adjustments to balance your machine by hand. In a drift car the gyro acts like a steering rack to slow the servo but also keep the servo in the correct position to prevent spinning. This is very similar to how a real car reacts when you let go of the steering wheel in a change of direction. Driving straight and at reduced angle is also possible. The most flexible for setup.
With only 2 wheels providing forward power, typically these cars are slightly slower equalling a bit more scale speed (depending on surface grip) and the angle is similar to what real machines achieve at different speeds. Low grip slower surfaces like GCRCD require more steering up to 65 degrees but this is equal to Formula D and D1 cars.
Needed: REAR WHEEL DRIVE 1:10 Scale Chassis. Gyro, Dedicated Plastic Drift Tyres.
Needed for UPGRADE from 4WD: front Steering Arm & front Knuckle upgrade depending on brand.
