Really pleased to see the big manufacturers entering the drift space! I definitely think this will bring more people into the hobby which is awesome . Great video too as always! 🥳

@rcdriver Ай бұрын

You nailed it! “bring people into the hobby” This car with Traxxas marketing will help bring new people to the segment successfully. It’s a car that’s easy for anyone to drive. Other hobbyists are so focused on it not being a competition car that they’re missing that bigger picture. Traxxas never claimed it to be a competition car. It’s a car for the general fun-haver that can help build the segment even more.

Am I the only one who prefers standard body clip system? For people who enjoy aftermarket bodies and the world of painting/fitting bodies the body post systems gives you much more options

@@mikeruhlRDX will perform 10x better than this in my opinion. One of the positives is that you get to pick your electronics instead of having to buy this at $329 and then having to spend another $200+ on electronics if one doesn’t have anything to swap over which in turn make this a $500+ chassis. If one would have just bought a Yokomo, RDX, Sakura, GRK chassis and have something perform equal or better. It will still be interesting on how this chassis plays out once in people hands and seeing how it performs on a Ptile surface like at SuperG.

Traxxas saw a TT02 with the MRC kit and thought, we can make this and charge 3X the price.

@stevemoon2136 Ай бұрын

A big part of the drift scene (as with the full size cars) is customisation. All the proprietary parts Traxxas insist on putting on their stuff just prevents this. So many better & purposely designed drift cars out there if you look outside of the Traxxas brand.

This is an RTR solution not for the typical wannabe drifter who would opt got a dirt cheap 3 Racing chassis.

Also Tamiya/HPI/Kyosho drift cars aren't much cheaper. The Kyosho is the cheapest at around $250.

@JDMCookies Ай бұрын

⁠⁠⁠@@dj4monienone of those have a drift chassis you know that right? Those are all 4wd which aren’t really considered a drift chassis. The most compareable RTRs would be Yokomo RD 2.0 RTR and MST RTR drift chassis. Tamiya TT02 really transforms to a drift chassis once one does the MRC conversion, if you don’t know the kit it basically replaces the front end to a proper setup and changes the chassis from 4wd to Rwd. After watching this video you can see the car is struggling to drift or at least that’s what I notice.

The AE DC10 should be much more of a competent drifter and, I think, $40-$50 less. All Traxxas did was put drift tires and a body on a 4Tec and anyone can do that! Ok, I'm being a bit facetious. I mean, not a bad effort on Traxxas' part but if you have any inclination to get more serious into drifting, there is absolutely no way to upgrade this car and you start all over again. Still, a great way to get people into the hobby and a lot of people won't want to go hard core drifting so, there's that (but I still think AE is a much more compelling choice).

For anyone curious, the “drift tuned” titan 21t either had 0 degree or forward tilt. The old titan 12 was a 0 degree I believe, and the trx4 21t is a reverse rotation meaning the tilt is in the other direction. Tilting the rotor windings improves efficiency and power in that direction at the cost of worse performance in the other direction.

I've been thinking about all the new tech that makes things 'easier'. these software assists; are they making the play better, more fun, or just easier to get that instant gratification? it reminds me of the foc/sine rather than learning throttle and steering control the hard and original way. As a training tool I can see it useful, but in the end, is it better? I guess it can be for everyone since it can be turned off
