Agreed. I think it took me less time to set up HGD1 and impressed it handles well as 90mm. Still think drz is smoother once you get it set up correctly... But it does take more fiddling to set up. Im gonna have a look at xrx next. Can't face super skeeter yet. Building front bulkhead on Drz nearly broke my sanity. 😂

Looking at the Super Skeeter price and I could buy a whole XRX DPA... I think I'd go with XRX. DRZ is good as long as you don't go beyond what steering angle can work effectively. It's really smooth and I like that about it. I'll continue to tune HGD1 a bit more to see how much can I get out of it.

Do you suggtest metal or plastic pinion?

Normally the motor won't come with a gear but the car will. It'll be a plastic gear and that's perfectly fine. I prefer plastic to metal because it's easier to remove. And if the metal gear doesn't have good quality it will last the same as plastic.

There seems to be many size variations in each category. Was looking into AFGRC A06CLS or A11CLS or the cheaper B05CLS.

Thanks for making all these really informative videos. Now that the HRC Arena GL Racing GLD is out, how does the HGD1 compare with with the GLD? BTW is the gyro basically the same thing as the HackSlider YE-0025?
@BeaversHobby
@BeaversHobby 3 жыл бұрын
GLD is much easier to drift and very pleasant to build. However the parts quality can be a bit ropy as I was unlucky enough to get every known defects on my car. However it's undeniably a great car with pinpoint accuracy handling. Here's my first test drive with broken parts. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb6Yg5mKnKmsgqc.html I'm still editing the fix video and will have to film some driving as well to complete it. And yes, the Hackslider V2 is the same as this gyro. Now there's V3 with EPA setting so get that one instead. Mine is with AFRC badge. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9GjpZpezbmpYH0.html I think YeahRacing will have the update as well.

Hello sir, i am really interrested in the hgd1, but i cannot find a shop that sells spare parts , in my expierience, rc cars brake every now and then...and the kit is to expensive to collect dust because of a broken axle or something. The support for atomic drz is way better where i live,but it doesnt has an option for 90mm wheelbase,what limits the body selection quite a bit...Is there any information on the company that produces the hgd1 and if they are planning to release different Upgrades or spare parts? Really appriciate your Channel,already helped quite a lot,stay Save! Dominik

Unfortunately I don't know which manufacture made this car. However it's based on Mini-Q Q5OP so all the consumable parts are shared with Mini-Q and Mini-Z AWD. The parts you can't find are front bulkhead, servo mount, rear gear holder plate, side clip mounts and chassis plates which are almost impossible to break because they made of aluminium and carbon fibre. Unless you put 10500KV motor in and crash it into a wall at full speed that is... The things that can break like CVD, wheels, tyres, diff, spur gear are the same as Mini-Z AWD. All other parts are the same as Mini-Q. I'm sure this car will last, just like all Mini-Q does.

Hello Mr. Beaver I'm a middle grade student from south Korea, and Iove your videos because it is really detailed. Please keep doing this :) I want to get into micro drifting, because I want to drive it at home. Since I am new, I want to get some advices from you. My first question is that what do you prefer? -Brushless kit or brushed kit? Also, these kits include all things that I need, but except for the radio and the receiver. My second question is that I have a "futaba 3pv", which is the best radio that I have... Do you know which receiver / micro receiver that fits futaba 3pv at micro drifting car? If nothing fits, then what radio and receiver do you prefer? (I cannot buy expensive ones, so can you pick a cheap one?) -is it the one on the description link? Third, is Hgd1 noisy? I'm going to run it at home, and I live at a apartment, so I am not able to run it if it is noisy;; Lastly, is making the kit hard? I'm a noob at making these cars, so... I hope it is not to hard THANK YOU FOR MAKING ALL THESE WONDERFULL VIDEOS!!!
@BeaversHobby
@BeaversHobby 3 жыл бұрын
Brush VS brushless depends on the kit you get. If it's HGD1 then brushed is a safer choice because generally brushless ESC that comes with this kit is not that good. Anyway, getting the brushless and change the ESC later on is also a good option. It depends on whether you want to spend a bit more for a better ESC or not. If you plan to keep it as it is, brushed. If you are willing to change the ESC later, brushless and it'll be better in the long run too. For other cars or if you can choose the ESC yourself, brushless is better. Futaba 3PV is good, no need to change that. The original receiver will work if the body is big enough to accommodate it. There's micro receiver for it too, here it is. bit.ly/2Xcwv2D Talking about noise; the drivetrain itself is quiet. However the thing that makes noise with this kind of car is the plastic tyres rubbing on the floor. If you have a wooden floor, forget it. It'll be extremely loud. You'll have to lay down some carpet or EVA mats to drift. As for rubber tiles that I have, it's not loud. Building HGD1 is not hard. However you'll need to look at the Mini-Q exploded diagram because it doesn't come with a manual. If you can, get some other car like Atomic DRZ V2 or GL Racing GLD. Those are much better cars as well and they are not hard to build and the manuals are very well-written which makes it much easier for a first time builder.

I'll have to re-check it but as far as I remember the gearbox is slightly different between kingpin suspension versions (Q3-Q6) and the wishbone suspension (Q7, Q9... which is cloned Q7). The front conversion is going to be difficult since it doesn't allow much steering angle on Q7/Q9. The most you can do is make the rear double wishbone.

The differences are in the front bulkhead and chassis plate at the front. You'll have to make the front bulk head not in the way when you steer and trim the chassis so the wheels can turn to near parallel. All of these can be solved if you have a 3D printer or a CNC machine or a metal cutter to make your own parts.

Beaver you are doing a great job to promote this hobby. Please, let me make a question. My problem is this. I've: -flysky gt3c, esc and servos - mini q5 brushless: this one is not very good to drift because lot of potency and bad body componets (poorly shock absorber, and plastic diferentials and knuckles) - mini q trq1: i like this one but not very easy to change body shells or perfect to drift - i recently a firelap l408 because now is only 38€ and i have others body shell compatible with this model So now ive lots of trasmitter and diferent components but no one is enough to get a good experience. My Desire is use my gt3c and focus my efforts to one model. Mini z is hard to get components, usually are out o stock. For that reason i try to get a good banggod and get components easily. My questions are: 1)coud be this the best drift kit for me? 2)or: do you recomend me upgrade my other models? 3) could be better buy a wltoy k989 and upgrade it? I have a a989 and is a good car. Thanks a lot for your work.

Yes, Firelap IW04 or L408 can be a good drift car with a bit of upgrades. It also has very good compatibility with Mini-Z bodies too. I'd suggest you upgrade the bearings first, you can buy them off ebay, don't have to be from a Kyosho dealer. Here's the tutorial. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqiWpLly3-DHY4k.html Then since you already have a transmitter, you can get the Emax ES08MDII servo and a cheap ESC to overhaul the electronics. Here's the tutorial. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7J9ZrSZm9HPpWg.html Then you can upgrade the wheels and tyres to use Mini-Z tyers. I'm not sure if Japan open the air mail route to your country yet but check out banzaihobby for Mini-Z parts.

The spares are available on Alexpress. Still, most of the parts are cross-compatible with Mini-Q and Mini-Q and also the ball links are standard parts for any car so you can get those pretty easily.

Thanks for the great video. What is the tool that you have used to measure the camber angle and how did you measure the toe in angle?
@BeaversHobby
@BeaversHobby 2 жыл бұрын
The tool for camber is the same one on 1/10. I think I got it with Yeah Racing brand or something like this www.rcmart.com/yeah-racing-3-in-1-camber-gauge-bu-for-all-1-8-and-1-10-on-road-cars-yt-0056bu-00030118 . You'll need to be careful because small cars are difficult to measure. As for the toe angle, I use this setup sheet (page 23) www.dropbox.com/s/4e7u09lsm70uuif/MIT%20Set-up%20manual.pdf?dl=0&fbclid=IwAR3Wpns2hQkXcM5BF2PG22oDGho00WlTlaavE87bCyEDYr9e7YppoAxq75Y . You can also draw a straight line on a paper, put the car on it in parallel and then use ruler to draw the wheel angle then measure that with a protractor.

DriftArt3 all the way. Atomic DRZ V3 also seems to be a good car although I haven't tried it yet. GLD is alright if you are OK with doing some upgrades. Anyway, with your experience from 1/10 DriftArt's tricky build should pose no problem to you. It will deliver the best out of the box driving experience.

How to get the servo to do mor angle, the normal 5g wltoys like has such a tiny angle is there a way to increase it? I know it’s non-programmable.
@BeaversHobby
@BeaversHobby 2 жыл бұрын
WLtoys original electronics has a limited servo throw I think it's from the built-in receiver. If you plug it to another receiver you can make it move more with EPA (end point setting) if the transmitter has it. As for RWD drift, normally we just extend the servo horn so the movement is bigger.

Is there a different between brushed and brushless motor in throttle? I know that brushless are generally smoother throttle.
@BeaversHobby
@BeaversHobby 3 жыл бұрын
I find brushed motor smoother at low rev. The brushless motor that is smooth is expensive because you'll have to get a sensored system. Sensorless will have either little cogging in the low rev or starting speed is a bit higher. However brushless has better power delivery so once you punch it you can feel the torque coming in hard.

hi beaver, can u recommend a motor & esc for hgd1, and what motor size can fit in, thanks a lot if u can recommend
@BeaversHobby
@BeaversHobby Жыл бұрын
The motor size is called 130 in general. There are many names for brushless, 1410, 1625, 1525 and 1626. They are all the same size anyway. The best budget set is Surpass Rocket V2 3500KV or 5500KV depending on how big is your track. For small track under 3M width 3500KV will do fine. Otherwise 5500KV will give you more speed for larger track. Of course you can get the fast one (5500KV) and use a smaller pinion to tune as well. As for the ESC it depends on where you are, for some DasMikro V3 on Aliexpress is cheaper and for the others PN Racing V2 is cheaper. Pick either one you can buy. They both use Hobbywing program and are very good.

Hey Beav, what is the best battery to use on these? I cant tell what I got with my kit as its blank. Want a battery that is super strong to slide better on carpet (hoping). Would I want 60C+? Hard to find small batteries with high C. If you have a suggestion im all ears!!

You don't really need 60C because even the battery can delivery that, the wire can't. I normally use Marka 350mAh 50C and I doubt it even draws that much. Burst, probably but 40C will be alright. If you need more power take a look at GNB HV. I have some 350mAh 7.6V and they are great. There are larger capacity too like 450mAh in case you want more run time.

The other one that got Q8 name is from some shops that decide to import HGD1 and call it Q8. So, check it thoroughly before buying. If the Q8 you see is AWD or 4WD then it's Q5OP. If it's RWD then it's HGD1.

Hi Beaver, thinking of getting the kit without electronics. Any suggestion for suitable servo? Which setup is better for this car, brushed or BL? Also What's the spur gear pitch? Is it Mod 0.5? Thanks
@BeaversHobby
@BeaversHobby 4 жыл бұрын
Most of the standard 5g servos will fit. Mini-Q or WLtoys metal gear is the best budget servo. There's also AGF A11CLS which is one of the best right now. It's a bit narrower but it still fits. As for the motor, either brushed or brushless is fine. Just choose a suitable KV for drifting like 3500KV to 5500KV and you can keep it in control pretty easily. Brushless tends to last longer since there's no carbon brush inside to wear out. Gear pitch is mod 0.5 and 15T-16T is about right.
