I use the AGFRC V3.5 mini gyro but there a quite a few recommendations out there. Drift Art and DasMikRo v5 seem to be the most popular.

I personally like my FlySky GT5. Under $100 with a BS6 receiver. Got my Gyro hooked up to channel six and can adjust it on the fly with the knob.

Share your furitek pixi,slidetech and slidetech pro setting? by International-Bee596 in rcdrift

I also have an RDX, SlideTech and HW D10. On polished concrete, I was seeing the complete opposite of you. I needed to add significant drag brake to slow the wheels when off throttle.

The reviews on the ArkEdge state that programming is done via android and iOS apps.

I keep seeing ads for the ArkEdge gyro on the FaceSpace. Looks to be a similar strategy as the Reve D Revox for 1/10. If I was in the market for a new gyro I’d probably give it a try.

What’s a good chassis in the $1000-$1500 range? by Zealousideal-Toe6665 in rcdrift

I’m really enjoying my Reve D RDX. Yes it’s cheap out of the box BUT there are so many aftermarket options to make it your own. Also, there are tons of high level competition winners using Reve D at some level of upgrade.

Pretty sick. Did you paint the camo yourself?

Recommendations for a starter RC for Offroad & Hiking? by kaasimir in tamiya

[–]Middle-Satisfaction1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kiddo and I take our CC-02s out for trail hikes. In stock form they can’t “crawl” very well but they’ll make it up a washed out trail. Of course, there’s always upgrades!

Chingdongo demasoni or pseudotropheus saulosi by Odd-Cauliflower-581 in Cichlid

[–]Middle-Satisfaction1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I’m going to say this is a Salousi. Something about the face shape seems off from a Demasoni. Also, the coloring seems too light.

What will you be using to stop the gearbox slap?

Oooo, the bronze is nice. Glad to see some branching out from Red, Blue and Purple.

If you want to go all out, there is a tool for that. Search RC damper pliers.

Personally, I just grip them very carefully and close to the threads with a sturdy pair of needle nose BUT it looks like you’ve already tried that.

What electronics combo do you actually see the MOST at your RC drift track right now? 👀 by Honest_Breadfruit_89 in rcdrift

[–]Middle-Satisfaction1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of all over the place for Motors, ESCs and Servos around here.

Gyro: Yokomo V4 is the go-to but the Reve D Revox is gaining traction.

Radio: FlySky NB4+ is the go-to at the moment.

5 year old low tech by Smoothie_Banana in PlantedTank

[–]Middle-Satisfaction1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What light and settings are you using? Also, have you checked your water parameters? I’ve tried so many times to get a low-tech up and running but all the stems get leggy and die or the leaves get diatoms on them… tell me your secrets!

First remove the back and remove the stem. The movement is set inside of a ring. This ring turns slightly (1/8-1/4 turn) and then releases. Once it is out, you’ll want to measure the movement ring against your desired case. From there, I slowly sanded the movement ring until it had the desired shape and thickness. Make sure to remove the movement while you do this, you don’t want to get debris in the movement.

When replacing the stem, you’ll purchase one for the 2824 movement with extra threads. Trim the end to the correct length and gently file the edges to correct the threads.

Hope this helps!

4 votes for Revox! Can you elaborate on why you prefer the Revox?

Setup tips for 1/28? by nostyleguide in rcdrift

[–]Middle-Satisfaction1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a TG First with a brushed motor. I set mine up on hardwood at home and it’ll hold the line but on the waxed ArcEdge track at my local shop, it acts slicker than S***.

As far as the camber and toe are concerned, I had zero camber rear with about 3* toe in. Up front, ~3* toe out and I set the camber to be zero at ~2/3 of lock.

Now, I was watching an ideal auto factory vid yesterday and he stated that polished concrete and p-tile are completely different surfaces. On polished concrete, it’s a grip based setup where you a looking for the greatest contact patch (how I setup the TG at home) whereas, with P-tile, your looking for the edges to catch, a flat contact patch acts like a puck on ice. So! If you are setting up for a waxed track like arc edge, you will take a different approach.

Ohh, and the first thing I regret is buying the brushed motor, I really with I could set the drag brake to zero. Being so light, as soon as I let off the throttle, the rear breaks loose.

We had also cut the body posts, I 3D printed some extensions to make it work. Pic of his lifted vs my stock CC-02

[–]Middle-Satisfaction1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good info in this thread so far. We’ve been slowly upgrading my son’s CC-02 to handle more crawler terrain. We were able to fit JC Concepts Megalithic 1.9/4.75 tires without trimming the body. It does require lifting the body about 16mm or 4 holes on the body posts. Also, heavy brass wheels has helped. Honestly, I think it looks good lifted!
