    You need to learn how to drift without a gyro, a four year old with the flu could drift with a bloody gyro, there’s absolutely no skill involved. Put a bit of effort in and learn a skill instead of following the path of instant gratification. Just a top tip for life in general.

      I really want to see someone drift with a 2WD RC using drift tires on a hard, smooth, and slippery surface such as tile. Can you show me? Since RUclips sometimes blocks links in comments, if you CAN show me how to do it, you could upload it to your channel. I’m already subscribed to your channel. I'll wait :)
      Edit: without a gyro, of course

      Without gyro.. I don't think so.. Maybe that kids are using 4wd format.. Because 4wd drifting is easier than rwd drifting for rc car.. Which is can be done without any gyro..

      Yeah, I'm 100% sure he's never tried drifting a 2WD with drift tires on a slippery surface.

    That's what I figured because a brushless system gives you more wheel speed and torque, you're losing traction with plastic wheels on a smooth surface as well as battery life which negates the advantage of a brushless upgrade. I find with a locked rear diff, most of the weight at the rear and a high steering angle with enough practice a gyro isn't even necessary

    • @kuikmix

      A sensored brushless motor with a low KV rating (turn) or the same speed as a brushed motor will give you better control. At least, this is what I’ve experienced with 1/10 RC drift. However, I haven’t tried a brushless motor yet in 1/28 scale.

    if my understanding is right instead of replacing pinion,spur gear ,can i reduce the throttle rate to 40 to 50%? im scared of breaking parts things😊

    • @kuikmix
      @kuikmix  5 месяцев назад +1

      It will help, but not as much as changing to a slower gear ratio, which will give you a wider power bandwidth that will give you better control.

    Where did you get the heat sink?

    • @kuikmix
      @kuikmix  Месяц назад

      I buy it locally on online store in Indonesia and I think they don't do export. You might try to find it on AliExpress or something.

    I’m having an issue with my k969 rwd drift car, when power is applied the rear pulls to the left and won’t turn right. Any help is appreciated

    • @kuikmix
      @kuikmix  Месяц назад

      Is the servo moving? If the servo moves every time power is applied, check the servo connections and electronics. However, if you're referring to the car moving to one side whenever power is applied, this usually indicates a few issues. Among them are an unbalanced differential gear (one side is less smooth or too smooth) and uneven suspension, which is a common cause. Make sure all the tires are firmly touching the ground and none are lifted. Check if there’s a spring spacer installed on only one side, causing imbalance. Conversely, if the chassis is already uneven, try adding a spring spacer on one side and see if it helps stabilize the car.

      @ thank you very much. Your info helped a lot. I got everything sorted out now and it drifts nice. Great videos, you got yourself a new subscriber

    Correct. But, not 100% correct. You will know it someday.

      Which part is not correct? Can you elaborate more? I might learn something new

      @@kuikmix Changing FDR indeed help you reducing the speed or maintaining throttle control.
      Adjusting the ackerman is more important than FDR.
      Surface and tires also matter.
      Many people just go straight to the floor and that's not good.
      Proper set up, surface, tires are the most important thing that people need to remember.
      What you did is good. You will eventually learn the next step.

      I agree with you. I'm not saying that what I mention in this video is the only cause. I'm just saying that it might be one of the causes. I made this video in the context of an 'on a budget' WL Toys 1/28 modification, where we can't change the ackerman, camber, and caster (without further modifications).
      Thanks for your comment; it will raise awareness for beginners about other things they should pay attention to.
      Note: Actually, I made a video about Ackerman, etc., two years ago on my Indonesian channel @kuiktip : ruclips.net/video/deSYapgAW7g/видео.htmlsi=mqJ6KRQmp0l_MF_3
