About this deal

I have a Taranis TX for flexible programming like slowing down the jerky steering movement with servo slow and or time delay and smoothing out the stop and goes. NOTE the die cast vehicle wheelbase often determines the battery size you can fit between the wheels. Tip ... every piece of the steering parts brass should be left longer than needed for handling all the drilling etc then trimmed to length only is done last. The main center pivot point is approx 1.2mm piano spring wire and the steering box axil is held on this wire with the cigarette lighter plastic tubes which is easily to press fit on and off when setting up the servo linkage. I have only used the FrSky VD5M 5 channel 3 - 7.2 volts (22 x 18.5 x 5- 9mm) NO telemetry or fail safe (I think it still works down close to 2.8 volts but thats not good for LiPo's)

I extended a piece of brass on the front pivot box axil forward about 3mm and glued a magnet each side on the top and then glueing another two under the hood area directly above them. Wouldn't it be great if "Hot Wheels" made some mini-RC versions of your favorite cars? Well, as it turns out, they do make some, but that doesn't mean you can't make your own.

Also the Majorette's Mustang Boss is 1:61 scale and still looks similar in size to Hot Wheels but it has that little extra space you need for parts and a bigger LiPO and they have more scale narrow width wheels. A drift car is a specific type of car used in the motorsport of drifting. It is typically rear-wheel drive, with a manual transmission and a powerful engine capable of producing high torque. Other defining characteristics of drift cars include: With the 4 cars (all with the 5 channels RX in each) I have all their steering acting full time all plugged into channel 1 - however the flight mode switch also changes their respective center position or offset or reverse and travels etc to customize each vehicle steering variances when in use (warning - I set all their steering up very similar to begin with to prevent the other vehicles servos from binding or over travel etc) The teams from Hot Wheels and Matchbox have given us some awesome products over the year (like the Matchbox Retro Service Center and the Hot Wheels Spy Racers Command Hauler) and one of the newest creations is the Hot Wheels RC car line.

Here is what I have built so far and how I made them work at scale speed and turn really sharp and have smooth accurate scale control ... unlike all the jerky coke can car toys.

The driver uses the remote control to activate the motor, which propels the car forward. The speed of the car is controlled by the amount of throttle applied. To begin drifting, the driver must initiate a turn by steering in the direction they want to glide. As the car turns, the driver applies the brakes while accelerating. This transfer of weight helps the car spin out of control, creating an attractive drift. Tip ... Re-drill the drive shaft holes in the U after it's folded up (they distort when bending) and then tapper the drive shaft end slightly in your drill and dremel the tapper so it only just neatly tap fits in flush and tight into the holes of the U metal and no further .... then its much easier to handle when soldering.

If it's binding or turning rough then remove it before the epoxy is way too hard and redo it again (straight axils are a must ... big needles worked for me also) Also I noticed some micro receivers have a built in forward/reverse ESC to control brushed motors supplying low milliamperes.Finally, the hobby is incredibly affordable, making it accessible to anyone who’s interested. Unlike other motorsports, 1/64 RC drift cars are easy to get into and can be enjoyed without breaking the bank. With the right upgrades and accessories, you can customize your RC car to your unique preferences, making it an excellent option for anyone looking to get into RC car drifting.
