Decided to get the atomic esc for this car, your the only other person I’ve seen with this setup. Broke the one that came with the xrx......this comes with plugs presoldered?
Yup the esc comes with plugs presoldered on & the atomic sensorless motors come with the matching plug. It’s a super convenient out of the box setup & it performs great for being sensorless
@@matthewpoon5402 I know what you mean, plug & play is a very nice option. I have a full soldering kit but I still prefer to avoid soldering when possible lol
@@GamerFromTheHood 360 shouldn’t be an issue. Try to stick with the skinny long batteries & stay away from the squat fat ones (like e-flight) & you won’t have an issue with space. I always mounted my xrx battery on the top deck, if you do that then you can run a monster battery. Good luck!
That battery might be a little bit but everyone has a unique preference for weight bias & distribution so it might work well for you. Only thing that gives me pause is the 80c discharge rate, mine are all around 35c-40c so I’m not sure if that will impact the ESC. Yup micro JST plug but there are many other there so you have to be careful of the size.
Excellent break down. I agree 100%, at the moment xrx is overall the best chassis for either a beginner or advanced drifter. Easy to build and tune, feels sturdy unlike the GLD, parts are well priced and available everywhere (in China). Steering/sliding rake is the best I’ve seen so far in this scale👌🏾
Thank you brother I appreciate hearing that from you! I agree this is a chassis for both beginners & experts (as you have shown abundantly in the FB groups) & has crazy potential. I just need to become a better driver to get the most out of it!
Hey I want to get into rc drifting and are really confused about all the different cars like all the mini z atomic and more i just want a car that has a lot of customization and upgrade options for the future and isn't a ton of money to get started.
Get yourself an XRX if you want to get into RWD drifting or get a mini-z AWD if you have a tight budget. All the chassis get very expensive once you start to upgrade
The trouble I am having with the XRX DPA is their policy on parts availability. Their online shop is quite the mess and most of the hop ups you're showing here in blue are no longer listed. And those that are, are now silver for some reason. Really a shame. Kinda prevents me from ordering the kit because I am not sure in their parts availability long term.
@@Boomer3k leave me your email address that’s associated with your RUclips account. I’ll shoot you an email to start & if your serious I can make a quick private video just for you going over the chassis. I’m to the point that I just don’t have time to tune the chassis so it’s just sitting collecting dust… I’ll cut you a nice deal on it with the full electronic (minus receiver)
@@BMR3 Hey, thank you for the offer. But after looking into how our customs office charges extra VAT even on privately sent packages, shipping costs from the US to the EU as well as the parts availability, I think it makes more sense to stick to the locally available chassis (Atomic and GL Racing). Thank you though!
I have the same xrx and I have to say I have the same problem as you with the back wheels rubbing on the link’s and I did the same thing filed them down still rubbing.I have to say I have not been able to get it to work right very poorly engineered junk
Its not junk or poorly engineered, its just meant for wide bodies... I didn't realize that when i got mine but now i know. Its a great platform, you just need to use the correct sized bodies.
Yup it would be awesome & if your really good at coding then it wouldn’t be too hard to map the throttle to a trigger & the steering wheel to a joy stick. Let me know if you end up working on this project, you would be a legend if you could pull it off!
This is fucking sick! Nice review and that’s a bummer the threads are stripped. I just purchased this chassis, hopefully they fix that in my batch? Anyways thanks for the info and option parts added to a expensive cost?
😹 thank you for the support Matthew! Yeah all the additional upgrade parts pushed my cost up a bit but I’m happy with it, the chassis is gorgeous to look at 😻 I think the stripped thread was just a one off QC issue & not something to truly worry about since I haven’t seen anyone else having that issue.
hello i just ordered this kit, i would like to kindly ask you if you can provide link where to get the option parts thx and cool and usefull video cheers from prague
Gotta get the 2.5 deg toe in mount! its crucial my man! Def stables out the chassis and adds more predictable throws. I have some in STOCK over on our website. Send me a DM ill shoot you one on ME for you to check out! Were the USA Distributor :)
Depends on what route you want to go. You can get a FlySky NB4 controller for around $220 & it will come with the receiver. Body will cost you around $50 & will come with matching rims (just make sure they are AWD rims...) The chassis itself will cost anywhere from $150-700 depending on option parts & what electronics you go with.
@@LunarBlues02 yeah there are other options but the flysky is a great bang for your buck. Are you in the Facebook groups? I know there sis budget controller they are using but I don’t remover what it’s called. Yeah I would recommend getting the full esc/gyro option kit since you will need it. But are you sure you want to jump into the deep end for your first RC? These kits are pretty detail intensive & require a lot of fine tuning to get them running properly. I’m sure you can build it but I don’t want to set you up for headaches & frustration... that would defeat the purpose of our hobby, it’s about fun & blowing off steam. If it’s your first RC I would highly recommend lookin at a mini-z ma-020, have you checked into these yet? They run about $200 & come with a controller, body & drift spec tires, literally rtr drift set up straight out of the box.
I have seen some cool ways to get around that issue, SelfMadeCouch had some 3D printed couplings that went over the drive cups to help reinforce/support them during high stress events. Have you come across those couplings?
@@tylerseabook9423 there is bunch of stuff in the works for 2022, honestly get your budget right & be patient. There will be several new chassis & some massive upgrades to existing chassis that will take this scale to a whole new level. I’m not allowed to give specifics but I’ve been hearing crazy things from multiple sources
After building the atomic drzv2 (total trash) and the xrx this car was a dream to assemble everything fit and it is a very well thought out kit ,,,,for the money atomic gets for their drzv2 you would think things would fit but boy that thing is trash
I was thinking about picking one of these up I see they're sold out right now anyway you can email me or send me a message on the optional parts you got that would work best for me as well
Great video but it would be even better if you had links to the parts as well 👌🏻
I purchased form Chan RC & the only way to contact him is via email for FB messages. No website.
Good info. Heard good things from this setup
The XRX is last years chassis of choice, now all eyes are on the Drift Art 2.5 Summer edition, specifically the DVF steering system 😼
Decided to get the atomic esc for this car, your the only other person I’ve seen with this setup. Broke the one that came with the xrx......this comes with plugs presoldered?
Yup the esc comes with plugs presoldered on & the atomic sensorless motors come with the matching plug. It’s a super convenient out of the box setup & it performs great for being sensorless
@@BMR3 sweet, def don’t like how xrx came not soldered.
@@matthewpoon5402 I know what you mean, plug & play is a very nice option. I have a full soldering kit but I still prefer to avoid soldering when possible lol
Where can I buy one?
Looks like an awesome kit
The “blue thunder” edition is pretty striking
what transmitter did you use when you was drifting?
Sanwa M17 & before that a KT-432pt
Do you know what battery I should get for my XRX ❓
Whatever is cheep and easy to find, around 350mah is the correct size
@@BMR3 SO ANY 350 mah will fit
Because some are bigger than others
I take that back I was looking at the 360!
THANKS FOR THE TIPS 💯

Nice video dude. How to calibrate gyro xrx?
There is a little switch on the face of the gyro that you can turn to increase or decrease the gyro gain.
Do you think the xrx would fit a aoshima 1/24 scale brz
yes.
Very nice Video. Will this battery work with this: Gaoneng 7.4V 450mAh 80C JST plug.
That battery might be a little bit but everyone has a unique preference for weight bias & distribution so it might work well for you.
Only thing that gives me pause is the 80c discharge rate, mine are all around 35c-40c so I’m not sure if that will impact the ESC.
Yup micro JST plug but there are many other there so you have to be careful of the size.
@@BMR3 Thanks appreciate your help.
@@nitinb80 happy to help brother!
Hi may i know what battery plugs did you use to your XRX. I have the JST and i need to change it but i dont know the kind of plug for the xrx ESC

do you know how to install a magnetic body mount to use it with model kits? Hard to find an example online

Hey great video can I ask where did you get the mono shock suspension for the chassis
It’s from an Orlandoo Hunter kit & I got mine from Chan RC. Hope this helps!
Would it be possible to control this with a console controller, like an xbox one?
No, not that I am aware of. I mean I’m sure you could do it, but you would have to have some made skills to pull it off.
@@BMR3 Thanks. Sounds like a cool challenge to try it.

What are your thoughts and opinions on the miniz 4x4 chassis?

Do you have the link to where I can buy one of these?
Contact Chan RC, that’s where I got mine.
This build looks hot and clean! And the aluminums are so sexy :))))))
I agree, IMO this is the most beautiful chassis on the market due to all the eye catching bile aluminum!
How much would it be to get it running with remote and body (everything)
Depends on what route you want to go. You can get a FlySky NB4 controller for around $220 & it will come with the receiver. Body will cost you around $50 & will come with matching rims (just make sure they are AWD rims...)

Thank you for the support! I’m not sure when I’ll return but I do plan on it, just been busy lately.
The steering angle thooo
Right!! & it’s rolling on full ball bearings so it’s super stable & smooth as butter
The BMRx is a joke for it’s cost the cups should be able to handle the car

@@BMR3 I haven’t. I won’t buy a bmr to try looking. It’s definitely a nice car but at that cost it shouldn’t need anything
