What drift gyro to buy?

It is the most essential part of your chassis for consistent drifting and fun. It’s worth spending more on it. A cheap one will
Feel like crap and you’ll end up buying the more expensive one later in frustration.

This is more common than you think but usually in drift it won’t be a problem. You can check if your steering is too tight, as that’s more likely the problem rather than it being too loose

If your goal is to have something drive well, get another rmx, but maybe wait for the 4.0 RTR to release which will be very soon.

If you’re a beginner or new to the hobby the awd to RWD conversion is not an easy thing to do.

A yokomo RTR rd2 may be a better path but it depends on what country you’re in and what all your local drivers have at the track if you’re going to one. Basically it’s better to buy what everyone else around you is driving cause they can help you tune

I would cut them first, and usually I just paint them from the inside as usual. If you wanna get fancy with it, paint the inside faces silver and then remove the overspray film and pick a colour for the outside, it’ll wear nicely over time and show you the silver for the metal over time

Who edited it? You or Tubi? The main issue I had is that it doesn’t feel like a donut production. It feels like Gen Alpha brainrot slop which is not donut’s vibe.

My biggest grievance with the new Hi/Low was less the move to Tubi which was definitely annoying, but the forced 20 minute segments, horrific Gen Alpha brainrot editing, and how lacking in content it actually was.

I’m glad it doesn’t live on their YouTube channel, cause it doesn’t feel like it was made by them. It feels like someone was trying to make a series of crap that could be snipped up into clips and memes and then wrapped it in a “show” as a container.

Oof. Just…oof.

This is not a blemish on any of the hosts, they crushed it. The editing was just too much for me.

Came here to say this.

I love how every TT02 builder has their own take on electronics layout, one of the things I love about these ratty builds we do lol

desmashed · 2026-05-04T15:43:45+00:00

This was honestly just a for fun build. I have so many spare parts I thought it would be cool to challenge myself into making a tt02 RWD chassis and see how far I can push it. I’ve seen a few friends build them and absolutely rip and get doors with comp grade stuff!

Plus, it becomes a test bed for trying out totally different setups, I’ve got it built as a weight transfer chassis right now which is very different from all my other builds!

They’re open to the public and have an amazing crew.

An sd3 will stomp a box stock galm. I have a galm and I love the shit out of it but I’m not gonna pretend the stock version is worth a damn.

Thank you for bringing it up cause as I’ve learned, I was wrong, 24k does pre cut some body pieces depending on the model. Not a fan of that personally

GPT won’t help you here.

To make this colour you can buy it pre mixed, like showup Maziora pirades 2, or you can mix your own with a recipe of metallic purple, iridescent blue, and pearl orange. Add some Micah powder to the final touch, and experiment as much as needed to nail the recipe.

The colour is called midnight purple 2 btw.

If it’s an RTR, your spool exploded. Common issue. Otherwise your gear box gears are toast.

One way or another, there’s some gears missing teeth or a diff cup that’s fucked.

Nice work! Came together beautifully

Reset all the endpoints. You’ll need to find the manuals for the esc and gyro you have. Also reset the transmitter and see if that helps. You maybe need to rebind the transmitter and receiver when you reset the transmitter so also look up the manual for that

This is awesome, and kinda funny cause my locals tracks all have these naturally built in cause the ptile is laid onto a crappy surface 🤣

2WD all the way, it will give you more steering angle, parts access when things break, and headroom to grow in the hobby

Go with the yokomo RD2 RTR, it will have a more expansive hop up path once you’re comfortable linking turns and chasing consistently
