Suggested Build Setups
Here’s how you might tailor your build based on your experience level or goals:
Target Build | Electronics & Gear Suggestions |
---|---|
Performance Drifter | Use 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 Racer | Mid-range 17.5T setup, waterproof servo & ESC, moderate grip tires, reinforced shocks—but still lightweight. Ready for regular club-track use. |
Custom Show Build | Upgrade 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
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.
Layout Planning: Refer to the images to see common component placement. Consider battery and motor positioning to balance weight and center of gravity.
Flexible Setup: The adjustable wheelbase and track width let you experiment—for example, a shorter wheelbase for tighter drifts or wider track for stability.
Material Handling: Use proper tools when tightening carbon fiber or aluminum parts. Avoid overtightening to prevent strip issues or warping.
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.
Future Expandability: You can add gyro steering systems, differential upgrades, or even swap in electronics later—this kit supports long-term evolution.
