Your radio shouldn’t be taken for granted. It is, after all, your only link to your drift car, and the only means for you to control where it goes – and where it doesn’t. If you’re relatively new to RC, you might have started out with an inexpensive AM radio (or it came with your [...]

Gear pitch is as important as pinion and spur size. Choosing a certain gear pitch can make your drive system smoother, or stronger, or less prone to damage, or easier to strip, or just plain noisy. In RC, there are generally three commonly used standard gear pitch measurements – these are 32-pitch, 48-pitch, and 64-pitch. [...]

We offer this article for those of you looking forward to our “Drift Showdown” series, but do not know what tire you should start with.

Here’s one of those never-ending debates. When it comes time to select a touring car chassis for drifting, one of the decisions you’ll have to make in the process is simple: shaft or belt drive? What’s the cost difference? Does one perform better? What are the pro’s and cons of each? Since this is always [...]

A slipping ball differential does a lot of things to your chassis, and they’re not good. Not only will you be going slower than others and wasting battery runtime, but you can damage stuff that will give you a DNF. So, it’s always good to periodically check your ball differentials for tightness. Here’s two ways [...]
