Your drift videos have been great to help new guys get in to the hobby. I regularly share them with new guys at my local club and there finding them really useful. Keep up the work.👍

Just got back into rc after 15+ years. Your videos have been great info.

I run 10.5t in all my drift cars 😊 thanks for sharing this troy! Very helpful information here!!! 👍👍👍

I have ran the gambit 11.5t, 13.5t and 10.5t. Running a 10.5t now and have made the switch on one chassis to a drift specific motor for yokomo sooo smooth 😎.. another banger vid keep it going

It’s always great to see some wonderful content, have a nice day 👍✨

Brilliant video really helpful!! I'm new to all this so just learning all of the ins and outs, your very skilfull by the way! Thanks for the advice in your excellent video!!

awesome video ,love watching you drift ,1 day I'll be that good ,thanks for all the information ,keep up the good work

That was some cool drifting right there! 👍👍

Troy awesome demonstration especially for beginners and guys that are being wise with their RC drift build budget. I started many moons ago with a 13.5T but now I am using a 8.5T motor from Onisiki with a 18T pinion on a 90T 48P Spur gear supported with a Acuvance XARVIS XX esc w/built in fan with some minor boost and turbo adjustment tweaked into the esc. Your right, it is really about tuning and mastering your trigger control. It is so fun, I took your advice putting touring tires on a drift car from one of your videos and that took the RC drift experience to a whole new level. I made sure I used that car in a totally open area using cones for when to turn and drift. At high speed I did not want to destroy the body shell on that car. I truly enjoy my Sakura D5 Auper 5 Pro, making my RC drift experience very memorable and funner. Keep bringing the knowledge it really helps the RC drift community, mostly for newbie’s. Excellent review brotha!!!!!!

Love the videos man. You’ve been very helpful with me building my d5 pro. Been out of the tv scene for a long time so it’s nice to have the help. Mine car still isn’t perfect but getting there. Maybe someday we will cross paths at music city rc!

forreal youre vids a great help im trying to get rid of my current motor setup in my mst. more than likely going to go the 10.5 route

I actually have the 13.5 and as you say I am finding I could use some more of that WHEEL SPEED you talk about. So I will try that slightly larger pinion. See how THAT goes Another great video. Thanks Troy. appreciate it

I started out back in June 2021 with 13.5 and now trying 10.5 to see how that works. I have 2 drift car’s Yokomo YD2RX with Hobbywing D10 13.5 (was 13.5 XERUN not drift motor) and MST RMX 2.0 kit build with 10.5 D10. Going to see how they both preform. Thank you for the awesome videos✌️

Really helpful insight... Just new to drifting and about to build my first car (kit)

I’ve got a Sakura d5 running an absolute 1 10.5t motor set up for tight corners and asphalt and I also have a yokomo yd2 axiii with a yokomo dx1R 13.5t motor set up for competition drifting. I love both cars but I learned most on the d5/10.5 t overall since it was a little more challenging to drive putting under and oversteer into play.

Cool videos. You made a great point on how much throttle. Can you video the throttle position along with the car drifting and have 4 split screens of a 10.5T and 13.5T?

A most interesting experiment seems more about the control *thumbs up👍Au🌚fully watched🌞*

Hi troy, love your video, its amazing review, u explain it in very good understandable english..tq, just have 1 question, what does turbo and boost need for in drift? Since we use 10.5t motor, its just enough to drift in big C track..

😮😮😮😮😮The big C 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thx for yet another awesome video Troy, all the way from South Africa. I myself run a 10.5 Hobbywing Bandit. What gearing do you run with your preferred setup? Keep them videos coming bro 🤜🏾🤛🏻

I don't have a drift car yet, but I do have an older Traxxas Slash with a 15T... I was thinking of sacrificing it's electronics to use on a drift car kit just to save some money until I got more comfortable with the car. What would be a good beginner car to grow with? I'd like to go Yokomo but I'm also considering MST

Hi Troy, I would like to ask What tire did you use on your garage? I’m looking for a bit stronger tire so can last long,mine can’t stay longer. Thanks 🙏

I like how you said it was about wheel speed, most new guys and even some regular guys think its all about car speed and they race everyone. I have seen and driven against guys who dive bomb up the inside going into corners and crash into cars or run into the back of cars because they have too much speed. when you suggest they change the gearing in their cars to slow them down they just reply with speed is how you drift. NO ITS NOT Wheel speed is how you drift, gearing is how you drift, throttle control is how you drift, everything you said here Troy if perfect not only for beginners but also for the seasoned pro or pig headed know it all. Drifting is an art, its about being close to other cars, its about rubbing the door of the other car, its about being smooth, consistent and in control. Not bashing or crashing others out of the way, its not about whos faster of who does the most laps. When it comes to gearing just remember that going too far in either direction can have negative effects from increased motor heat and possible burnout if not caught in time. less run time because it drains the battery slower throttle response to name a few I did some checking and found that my MST RMX 2.0 is running a 9t 4000kv brushless motor with a 35a esc both from hobbywing. with the stock spur and a 22 tooth pinion for now as I have only run the car once so the chassis setup isn't right yet. My Yokomo YD2 is running the Hobbyworks 3625 which is a 4000KV motor (not sure of the turns as I cant find that info) but with a 50a esc. with the stock spur an 18 tooth pinion neither of these are sensored setups

I started drifting with a 12t brushed motor and finally upgraded to a 10.5t sensored xr10 system from hobbywing

Great video really ,am running a hobby wing 13.5 turn motor and am a new to drifting and already feel the need for more wheel speed i feel the big c figure is so demanding for that 10.5 turn and the 13.5 feels so slow btw am on 27 tooth pinion and 80 spur on a rmx 2.0s and i think this is the biggest pinion that goes on it without modifying the motor mount

I currently am using SpeedPassion(RIP) 3.0 10.5R motor that doesn't have much timing adjustment (-10° to 10°) but with 22 degree 350rpm boost from 13k in ESC I can almost be on the same level as others with lighter cars and more power I think I would need to improve traction in order to be as fast as them (that's what others told me) Looking forward to upgrading to Rocket V3

So the higher the slower thanks for all this info ill be getting the 10.5t for my yokoma rtr build

Please correct me If I'm wrong, So I'm also new to drifting and I'm using a 10.5T motor, I'm not very precise with the throttle finger ( sometimes I'm a bit of trigger happy so the back end just spins way out) so would I benefit if I go with a larger pinion so I can make the wheel spin more controllable?

Hi Troy, I have questions I’ve been using 10.5 t agile for awhile, now I was thinking about trying the 13.5 or even 15.5t for drift on P-tile. My question is the bigger the number on the motor equal the less spin on the tire is that right? Less spin =more traction ? Thank you 🙏

Hi good video just as I needed. May I know what is the spec of the servo?

Interesting video. Does that mean the RTR RMX 2.0 2500kv motor is actually something like 15.5t? Couldn't find any specific information, but after looking at some kv-to-t charts, it seem to place the motor in that area.

Awesome. What platform would you use a 17.5T

I have just bought the 10.5t skyrc ares with adjustable timing what do you reccomded on the timing setting for drifting?

could you do the 10.5 surpass motor on the xr10 vs a higher brand 10.5 on same esc and esc settings

Could I possibly use my stock traxxas 4tec 2.0 10turn Velineon Brushless motor and esc on a sakura d5 to start off atleast until I get the budget for a better drifting motor and esc? Thats all im missing for my build right now if you don't recommend me doing that ill definitely wait until next paycheck for sure not trying ruin a drift car I haven't even tested out yet 😅

Hi Troy, what KV's are the 10.5 and 13.5 that you tested here? Thanks!

I have the Rocket 10.5…. Very powerful!

....i just put an order for the 10.5T rocket v3 and a 10BL120 combo 3 hours ago...... for about usd87 shipped.

I’m a noob just started and I’m using a 7.5T from out of my truggy. On carpet drifting it’s awesome. On glossy concrete surface. It’s a challenge to use the appropriate amount of throttling. Got a 13.5T now.

You can also get a 13.5 motor that supports 3s battery to help with wheel spin.

I know sensored motors are recommended but could you make a comparison for drifting sensored vs sensorless? I'm still saving up for a sensored and just using a sensorless motor I have laying around.

Running a RêveD Mc1 chassis w Acuvance RAD esc, Acuvance Agile 10.5 w upgraded rotor, RêveD Servo, and RêveD Revox Gyro..

Might be a silly question but, what type of motor brand do you run in your rc drift car. Thanks 👍

You run a 10.5 on the XR10 Pro 80 amp esc without any issues?

i used to run a 3.5t in my sakura d3 never had torque issues.

When you install the motor do you have to take the gear or cog wheel off the stock motor or do you have to buy these separate? Also what are those pins you can buy for the ends for the ESC to not solder directly and have more of a plug and play set up?

I run a 13.5 onsinki and onsinki ESC with 20° of boost on my d5 and a 10.5 yokomo T type and a OMG ESC with 20° of boost on my sx3 I love them both ... If you ever come to Texas you need to come check out my indoor RC drift track called RC drift dojo in corpus Christi Texas

Have you by chance tried the Oniski Shura and Kikou motors?

what type camera you use on the side on your car

Team powers plutonium 10.5t! It’s better for me as the tracks that i go to are long turns that carries a lot of speed. You need that rpm so you can closer to the guy in front.

Great video Troy should try doing a budget thing for drag cars soon

How do I choose a motor in general? What’s the difference in getting a Syrpass v3 or v5 drift vs the HW D10? I’m deciding what motor to go with a XR10 Stock Spec w a mid budget.

Which one would you use for drag car,I'm running with drk ESC

Do you recommend to upgrade the spur gear when upgrading the motor?

merci beaucoup pour votre test , personnellement, j'ai la meme impression et je pense tester ces different moteur avec differents rapport de pignon / couronne.

do you know how to change the rotation of motor?

Im new hir sir... what is best to buy? 10.5T or 13.5T?? For beginners like me?

would you know anything about boost, and if so can we get a video??

Never owned a drift car and looking to get into it. Been looking hard at a MST RMX 2.5 but I have a traxxas slash with the 3500kv vxl motor (13.5 turn) and esc in it. So now I’m thinking of building the MRX GT V1.5 and just using the guts from my old Slash to get a rig going. I like the RMX but I’m sure that I will want to do a bunch of upgrades to it later, so building the GT would save me money in the long run. The motor and esc are waterproof and meant for bashing around so I figure they will live happily in a drift car with a couple of fans to help keep them cool. A gyro and good steering servo is pretty much all I’ll need after that and I should be in business. Does this sound like a viable plan?

Is there a certain FDR you look for?

10.5 all the way 👍

Oi qual você recomenda pra iniciar ?

Do a 17.5 test please

Hey troy do you know the difference between the 10.5t spec vs 10.5t modified of this motor?

How do these brands compare to the Yokomo dx1r being that those are $40 range and the Yokomo is $100+

I use a 17.5 t ona yokomo yd2 e

So 13 for driftnoobs like me. What about pinion and spur? Can you go from say a 23t to a 13t motor and leave the gearing? So many factors involved. It keeps the brain occupied. Brushed 540 with 60a esc. I read that all matters too. And carpet.

I wanna build a one ten scale drifting car but haven't done yet

Motor de 8.5 serve para drift?

Nice test but you should gear them up to get a similar wheel speed and then test to see how that feels like

10.5 for carpet with a low magnet force and a high torq high turn for real slick conditions i find a high rpm on the motor and more torq will increase traction mayb not much but in slipery surface it gives you teh edge also the gyroscopic effects of the fast spinning motor can also ain in stability feel of teh car than say a 10.5 with no boost or turbo that you are just tickling and the wheel speed is just way to high even over 20% thorttle and anything after that you start loosing more and more traction on slippery but on carpet higher wheel speed = more friction = tyres get warm and stick and give loads of grip

I like 10.5 if boost and turbo aren’t necessary for the track your running on.. in my opinion

What scale is that

Shit i bought a 26t motor am new to rc drift lol is it to big?

It can crawl?

My method of choosing my motor: Surface - Slippery or Grippy Gearing - High or Low ESC - Boost and Turbo or Nil Price - Cheap or Expensive Support from local hobby store - Yes or No

I’m just starting in drifting I have a 10.5 motor wats a good drift kit to start off with

WhT size pinion do you recommend going to for the 13.5?

How's it going I like watching your channel because you you're just like me but you're more knowledgeable in this particular field and I'm hoping you can help me with this question. Now I know you familiar with the wltoys 969 and their escs well I have two of them and they both linked to one of the new style wltoys controller with the knobs and in my 1/16 scale chassis mounted an additional motor on the other side of the shaft and they both spent very smoothly so when I turn on one ESC it leads to the controller when I turn on the second one it links to the controller so you have to separate speed controllers the motors aren't fighting each other do I need to do anything else are you know at first those batteries they give you are the 400 milliamps I'm using a 1200 milliamp 7.4 volt on each one do I need to keep the power separate or combine them I guess that's what I'm asking I took it out once and it didn't seem like it lasted very long but then again it still looked cool to have both of the motors and I happen to have both of the ESC so anyways any answer would be greatly appreciated keep up the cool shows like your content.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Well u no what i have. but for the folks , k have a 40$ turnigy trackstar 9.5 t with about 40 degrees of timing slsmmed in it

Both cars have 10.5s

SkyRc motors sux anyways.
