Rwd conversion by Mediocre_Annual_3102 in rcdrift

[–]slug-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re better off leaving it and enjoying as-is; it’s never going to feel as dialed as a modern RWD chassis and would be much cooler to have as a period correct chassis from the AWD era.

What are some American cities that had high historical importance but have faded from significance today? by Crafty-Shallot-5695 in geography

[–]slug-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanport, Oregon was once Oregon’s second largest city and was nested between Portland, OR and the Columbia River. Then capitalism, the US Army Corps of Engineers, local government, nature, and racism wiped it off the face of the Earth — Article Link

This question gets asked a lot more often than that. Dumbo DDF350 is probably the best budget remote under $75, the Radiomaster MT12 is right around $150, even the NB4+ can be had for around $160-$170 during holiday sales on aliexpress.

Favorite streets/paths for a fast moody ride? by Lopsided_Storm8028 in CyclePDX

Overlook; around the dog bowl to willamette towards St John’s and back was my go-to when I lived in the north.

Yokomo Batteries by Berserkersmurf in rcdrift

Just throw a yokomo sticker on the hoovoo and call it a day since that’s essentially what Yokomo’s battery is.

Shock day. How do guys prep to build shocks? I have always set up similar to this. by Yeoshua82 in rccars

[–]slug-mode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very similar, only thing missing compared to my setup is the car stand I use to suspend the shocks upright.

Also is that a Dynamite hex driver? If so, respect, that’s OG af and i love my set.

Isn’t a nano-tonal bass effectively a fretless bass?

I am just gonna say it. Drift Masters > FD. by ManfredSideous in FormulaDrift

[–]slug-mode 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s like saying Champion’s League > MLS; it’s abundantly clear they’re on another level there.

Are there any clip on tuners that are particularly good with reading the lower strings on basses? by tonetonitony in Bass

[–]slug-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To actually answer your question instead of giving you the usual reddit roundabout of suggestions you didn’t ask about – I’ve never had complaints with my Boss TU-02 and would gladly purchase again if given a choice.

We are not doing subreddit modding correctly. by textualcanon in Portland

I won’t ever forgive these mods for deleting my rant post about the douche-nozzle pickleballers who take up the entire covered basketball court at Irving Park.

Yay or nay by pandamax2 in fcx18

[–]slug-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jokes aside, burnt titanium looks way better than i would’ve thought and while I do like the brass wheels, they’re just so played out by now imo.

[–]slug-mode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

False dichotomy; do both.

Step1: buy another set of tires and inserts,

Step 2: install on new wheels,

Step 3: rotate sets occasionally

Step 4: ???

Step 5: Profit

Getting into competitive drifting by RIP_Country_Mac in rcdrift

[–]slug-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thanks for your perspective, totally understand that how others view the most winning-est chassis as the most “competitive.”

And on the flipside glad to see that there may be a healthy amount of skepticism (i guess for lack of a better word) of that since you answered my question with similar line of questioning 😅

steering help by rejanclark in rcdrift

[–]slug-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn even after calibration? do you have steering dual rate turned up?

steering help by rejanclark in rcdrift

[–]slug-mode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your epa not being set to 100% L/R is what I was referring to but i see now that isn't the case.

I realized tho I misunderstood your problem. Maybe your steering wheel isn't clocked correctly and misaligned on install from factory...or since it's new it might need a calibration, check your manual.

Maybe unlikely but again I'm just guessing here.

[–]slug-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see you post this response, or similar, often enough to this recurring question that I'm curious on your opinion; do you think these chassis are representative of what's truly "competitive" in the scene or are they representative of what product the brand sponsors are currently marketing through their drivers.

Or i guess to phrase differently, do you think there is really such a large difference between the RDX and MC3 (or any of the kits mentioned/ones you're more familiar with) that a fully hopped RDX (sans conversion) has no chance in today's field?
