Ordered a new brushless motor and ESC combo for my crawler, and it’s working like a dream. Shipping was surprisingly fast, and the parts were exactly as described. I had a minor issue with the wiring, and customer service helped me figure it out over email within a few hours. Great experience overall.

Just got my first RC drift car from this site, and it’s been a blast! The car arrived well-packed and in perfect condition. I had some questions about the best batteries to pair with it, and their support team was quick to respond with solid advice. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that actually knows their products. Will definitely order from them again.

Suggested Build Setups

Here’s how you might tailor your build based on your experience level or goals:

Target BuildElectronics & Gear Suggestions
Performance DrifterUse a powerful 13.5T brushless motor, high-torque 17kg metal servo, gyro-enabled ESC, and slick drift tires. Tune camber/toe with adjustable arms for sharp slides.
Club RacerMid-range 17.5T setup, waterproof servo & ESC, moderate grip tires, reinforced shocks—but still lightweight. Ready for regular club-track use.
Custom Show BuildUpgrade oil-filled, rebuildable shocks, aluminum adjustable arms, aesthetic anodised parts (purple/black), clear inner body shell, and custom decals for that eye-catching display piece.

Build Tips & Best Practices

  1. Part Sourcing: Plan and list required components—steering gear, motor, ESC (gyro if preferred), servo, battery, wheels/tires, body shell, and any extra tuning parts like adjustable arms.

  2. Layout Planning: Refer to the images to see common component placement. Consider battery and motor positioning to balance weight and center of gravity.

  3. Flexible Setup: The adjustable wheelbase and track width let you experiment—for example, a shorter wheelbase for tighter drifts or wider track for stability.

  4. Material Handling: Use proper tools when tightening carbon fiber or aluminum parts. Avoid overtightening to prevent strip issues or warping.

  5. Fine Tuning: Once built, invest time dialing suspension (springs, oils, shocks) and setup angles to suit your drift style—inside track, wide turns, or freestyle.

  6. Future Expandability: You can add gyro steering systems, differential upgrades, or even swap in electronics later—this kit supports long-term evolution.
