Took forever to get mine but it was worth the wait lol. I got the 2.5 brushless with the R32 body and it looks amazing. Looks even better after I added a light kit.
Got mine two months ago and absolutely love it! Same as this video and it drover perfectly straight out of the box! Since have done some upgrade and first thing was the shocks! Wait until you put the new MST Drift Shocks, it makes such a huge difference to the steering response. Love it!
Just food for thought, you should probably mention that the wheels MST photographs on their RTR’s and the aggressive perfect fitment shown on the boxes is often not what is included in the box. My blue Toyota 86 RTR came with red chrome horrible fitting wheels 😂.
nice, looks like they are mostly in-stock for the bodies I'm looking at (Y) looking for a good 1st car to get into R/C, looks like this may be a good one for that!
The body looks sick! That thing is slammed low like my real Alpha Romeo. The only annoying thing is going up and down curves at the gas stations so I keep gas at home to fill my car that I hardly drive, lol.
Congrats!

This battery already has the lead and is much less expensive, but has lower capacity (should still last a good while though): www.amainhobbies.com/reedy-wolfpack-2s-hard-case-shorty-30c-lipo-battery-7.4v-3000mah-asc758/p945353 -Brett
I built two of these bodies for my TB04R and TA05 V2….it’s so amazing and actually has great aero at high speeds. The issue is getting the wheels on standard 190mm touring car our far enough to fill the arches. It’s possible!
@AMain_Hobbies. Thanks for the info on the back order situation. I have just been waiting and waiting on a restock, it looks like that will never happen. I'll sign up for the back order request to hopefully reserve an R34. Does that process require a payment in advance? Also, on your 2.0 car, what wheels and tires are those, the gold 5 stars with the polished lip. Thank you.
Just bought this in canada for 600 CAD lol can you please list all the items you used on this build like the megnatic mounts and battery setup. Thank you!!
I would be curious to know how many losses in sales MST has taken because people can't buy these anywhere. I'm looking to buy a drift car, and this would be a good one, but I'm not waiting 4 months for one.
Sorry, forget them; here is the kit: www.amainhobbies.com/scale-reflex-gorilla-mounts-magnetic-body-mount-kit-black-srf888100/p978170 Any washers will work, but if you need some: www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc-aluminum-ball-stud-washer-set-black-12-0.5mm-1.0mm-2.0mm-ptk-8370/p456783 -Brett
Car definitely looks fantastic as well as seeming like a blast to drive if you have a track handy like that. I do have a question about something else I noticed in the video; what's the green body on that truck you guys have on a trailer on the drift track?
I think its a custom Element RC Ecto body: www.amainhobbies.com/element-rc-enduro-ecto-black-trail-truck-4x4-rtr-rock-crawler-asc40122/p1481278 It may be an Ecto chassis too, not sure. -Brett
Weak points - Servo (weak and will be lucky to get 30 mins play time) first light knock and it’s toast ! Plastic gear special. Motor & ESC lack any real punch not great on carpet out the box. Camber/toe setting very limited.
The MST is more sorted and better running from factory, but the Yokomo is far more upgradable and better for tuning for sure! I converted mine to a shark and its dialed!
Until values rocketed in the last 5 years the e30 325i in the UK was the drifters choice! You can't include the e30 M3 as that's in another league sharing only the bonnet (hood) with a standard one hence their crazy values. I've owned a 325i sport over 10 years now and it's gone sideways most times it was driven 😎
I honestly will never buy a MST ever again worst customer service worst with keeping after market parts on the market can’t even find their cars especially if your looking for a specific one so many better drift companies
The car looks so good! Would be great if they included magnetic body mounts in the kit.
magnet mounts suck you spend half our time chasing the body around.
@@danielbaugher1798 Even for drifting?
@@MrCveedub Only if you are a bad driver!
@@MrCveedub If you have drift car. Use magnetic. The cars are so ugly without magnetic.

Professional presentation as it gets..to the point..
Great job mate as always!

Pre-ordered mine in December it arrived in July. Runs great

Oh wow, you're right; I didn't realize that.
-Brett
I bought one of the Yokomo kits from Japan and hopped it up with all the aluminum. Such a good drifterer.
Main point in 2.5 is gearbox with straight gears (yokomo style). Other important thing - updated gyro.
Changing the gyro was a huge game changer for me.
Me n my brothers just picked some up at local hobby shop 💯🔥
nice, looks like they are mostly in-stock for the bodies I'm looking at (Y) looking for a good 1st car to get into R/C, looks like this may be a good one for that!
RC drift is great fun, love the 2.5!
I sold my rmx 2.0 86rb for 400 dollar. And bought a very new rmx 2.5 e30 for 450 dollar or little less. Love it!
Was thinking of doing the same, would you say it's worth it?
@@RichyBeamin Yes.
The RMX 2.5 is an awesome starter car!
Oh dam that’s so sick! I believe there’s one at the rc shop in my town have to get one! I want to fpv it so bad lol
Very beautiful body and the rims also look real, very good job from MST. I liked it immediately when i saw it, few seconds was enough to loved it.
I hope these talented folks at MTS develop an on-road performance RC. Nothing against the drift enthusiast.
MST. MTS are a different company.
That is a solid RTR drifter. Going to have to put it on the wish list for sure👍
I think the 2.5 has a better trans also .
Looking forward to a real drift RC car. It's on my punch list.
Chico Store has the BMW and brz in stock don't sleep on them
We call that a…PAPER LAUNCH. No way that thing is “pre-order” when it came out MONTHS AGO!!
Saludos Amigo este bm se ve muy bien , me encantan estos autos ,muchas gracias desde Panama

Patiently waiting lmao 🤣 cant wait to get it
The sound of the falling pins is satisfying. 🎳
Beemers look cool but so much cooler in RC imo
Hope they selling the pre-painted body shell alone
Looked at some older vids and i think this guy is hitting the gym
My local track has them in stock
Bro has lost weight, looks good 👍🏻
Sounds like sum other rc's you still can't get 😡🤬🤬💯💯
I just ordered the brushless version and I can't wait to test it! Anyway, I forgot to order battery so any recommendation for battery to use?

We have 6 at Victory Hobbies in Bellevue, Ne.. 2 Supra’s 2 mustangs, 1 BMW and a skyline… call and buy 1…

Is brushless motor worth the extra money vs brushed. Is there difference in speed or control?
Could u do the traxxas stampede or bandit vxl?
lies, hobbytown has em in stock in store locally. so be sure to search your local stock!
I had this car on preorder from last December, but lost all hope a few months later and cancelled.
No link to the body mounts used?

-Brett
finally ❤
poor cameraman 😂
Look realy cool, to bad here in france the name mst as the same meaning them std in english.
Weak points -
Servo (weak and will be lucky to get 30 mins play time) first light knock and it’s toast ! Plastic gear special.
Motor & ESC lack any real punch not great on carpet out the box.
Camber/toe setting very limited.
Is that drone footage at the end on the drift track?
No, our guy Oscar running after the car with a GoPro on a stick. Did you like it? That's what he was going for.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies I could get cool footage like that with my mobula 6 HD micro drone
How does the jyro effect & help the car.
automatic countersteer
What’s that giant car in the middle of the drift track?
That's an Arrma Limitless with a custom painted body.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies it looks a lot bigger than a limitless in the video, like a 1/5 scale, but that’s cool, thank you for replying.
Is it rear wheel drive?
Yes sir, RWD.
-Brett
need more light bro on the wide shots
1000’th like!
Is this metal body?
No, it's Lexan, also known as Poloycarbonate.
-Brett
Oh nice looks like a solid built.
they have this at my local hobby shop wtf??
That's awesome, you should get it if you want one; we can't keep them in stock sadly.
-Brett
It seems unpowered to me.
Most of the RTR's are to be fair.
Yeah if only they were available to buy lol
Man, he sounds tired
I thought the same thing, hope he's doing ok.
@@michaelmooney6245 yeah me too
Wow if u thought the real thing was dumb lol
Easy on the opioids..eyes give it away 😞
The thing sucks it’s cheap
Yokomo RTR > MST.
The MST is more sorted and better running from factory, but the Yokomo is far more upgradable and better for tuning for sure! I converted mine to a shark and its dialed!
We'll find out soon enough. One is on the way.
-Brett
What is the deal with American RC youtubers and flat caps? Come on guys, you ain't 12 anymore.
Drift...naaah.
Do a btcc box Volvo drift car to be different
What there’s plenty for sale and lee where.
E30 is a tuner classic not a drifter but love it

it could definitly neeed a bit more power , motor sounded really strained :D
