The YD2-Z is always going to be much better platform compare to the RMX 2.5. Yokomo has a lot more aftermarket upgrade option parts from its own company and from other companies like Reve D, Overdose, Rhino Racing, and another few companies. Yokomo also can share parts with their older model chassis like the YD2-E all the way to its latest MD1.0 chassis. I have myself an YD2 AC RTR which is basically a YD2-E chassis and I did a full YD2-Z transmission swap on it so I can get that high motor position that I’ve always wanted.
Just getting back in rc again.. many many tamiyas when I was young 1980s just got a new ammria truck with nimh batteries to start off before lipos is it the opposite of lipos for storage? I hear to keep the almost fully charged until I use again.. which is about every 5 days.. and fully discharge the before charging?
Rtr aka ready to replace, brushed motor and 1040 esc, shocks bin, gyro bin, battery and charger bin, transmitter bin. Clownish release imho, just get a kit if you want to yokomo and save some e waste
Behind the spur gear is the aluminum hub. If you remove the four button head screws holding the spur gear on, the spur should slide right off, exposing the aluminum hub assembly behind it. -Brett
@@motopanda7729 To remove the hub: loosen the set screw located on the backside of the hub. Now the hub pin should remove easily. With the pin removed, the hub should slide right off the shaft.

I need a video on how to set gyro, mine is the same but for some odd reason the ones i seen in videos blink blue mine has blue and red. Plus a gyro gain adjuster at the gyro itself.
Anybody know where I can find a yd2 doesn’t really matter which one It can be the rtr or the yd2z I’ve been looking for a yd2 but it seems like there sold out every where
took my 2.5 stock to the track and 3 dudes with build yd2 were testing mine. they were mad they bought motors sc shocks and v4 gyro and I was banging doors with them just fine. one was gonna sell his to go buy a 2.5 mst
I've never had a drift car but this thing looks fun. Can someone explain what's going on with the motor. Why do they want it mounted high up like that?
I've been into rc forever but always wanted to get into rc drifting but not sure which rtr to go with. I was thinking the mst forsure but now I don't know lol.
If I remember right, the Sport 4 Drift is a 4WD sedan with drift tires installed, so it slides but it's more like a powersliding car. This drift car is RWD only and is specially designed for drifting and only drifting, so it has maximum steering angle, weight placed back, adjustable motor height and other adjustments specific to drifting. Most competitive drifting is RWD only, no 4 wheel. -Brett
I'd like to see a 3-way comparison between these two and the Redcat RDS ready-to-run. I know there are a few other reviews like that on RUclips, but curious to hear what Bret and Amain have to say. I also know the RDS is more expensive and comes with more carbon fiber.
@@fazz909Those cars are very hard to get. The best method is to backorder the car you want, reserving the car for you, and we ship the car when it arrives in stock. We wish we had more cars to sell, but stock is limited. -Brett
The one I bought for my brother turned out to be a way~ more of a hassle.. I had to put a V4 yokomo gyro instantly because the stock gyro wouldnt leave program mode. then it ran the servo hotter than it should be.. Soo... I had to throw a reve-d servo in it. Great starter, but hope you dont have what happened to me.

Its going to take a lot to make one of these rtrs competitive but the options are endless on the Yokomo side of things. Ive done a lot to mine and its dialed👌🏻
Your 100% right. It pretty crazy how much some of this stuff matters in drifting but it makes it way more rewarding. Have a good one!@@donavinmoller2432

The only thing that puts me to sleep quicker than a Rick crawler are these drifter rigs. I don’t get the draw, but hey - everyone’s different - which is a good thing.
Oh i liked the rc drift cars a few years back but the community is... how should i put it more toxic than a call of duty lobby half of them 2wd purists and the other half is either yokomo, hpi or tamiya snobs...
Lol!!! Are you really trying to compare that trash to an RMX?🤣🤣 nothing like paying for a name. Yokomo makes great products this ain’t one of them. If I was looking for a ready to run, hands-down, I would take the RMX every day over this pile of trash they couldn’t even include a brushless set up. Bro, trying to tell people If they’re serious about drifting, go with the yokomo is comedy. The only thing that car has going for it is its name.

For me it is a pleasure to see those rc cars drifting 😊
I absolutely love my Yokomo, building it with Japanese only instructions was a fantastic experience, lol
Yup! I heard what you were saying about the tires. You did pretty slick on that track. could def see the difference between the tire sets.
Glad I bought a RD 1.0 (which this classic is) and went brushless lol.
For the price, Ill keep my RMX and FXX. Good video, Brets got those drifto skillz
RMX has a way nicer break disk. the Yokomo entry level gyro seams not working very well with the standard slow servo.
Can you make an upgrade video on this car ? How to change motor to brushless
I seen this RC car on a drift track it looks like it is for beginners and I'm sure it's upgradeable as well
I’m thinking about starting off with this and putting upgrades just so I have a base

What is the surface of the drift track made of? Awesome video!
here in australia, the yokomo is $400aud cheaper than the mst, know what i’m gonna be going with!
Locked diff or very tight ball diff is better than an open diff unless u wanna be messing around filling diffs with thick oils
How did you remove the black metal where the spur is connected for it to be adjusted? @ 3:02 time Just pull it?
Behind the spur gear is the aluminum hub. If you remove the four button head screws holding the spur gear on, the spur should slide right off, exposing the aluminum hub assembly behind it.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies do you just pull it out ? The one thats holdin the spur

If I buy a mst body like the bmw e92 body will it fit ??
A drill and some fine grit paper would sort them tyres out
Pinion-Spur meshing probably needs adjusting

is it alright to cut that antena looking thing?
I have a FMX-D with 6.5 turn motor. Should i upgrade that or my rmx 2.5?
i have a rc boat electric can i take those parts and put it in a drift car or no im just curious
MST >>> oil filled stock shocks FTW!!!
took my 2.5 stock to the track and 3 dudes with build yd2 were testing mine. they were mad they bought motors sc shocks and v4 gyro and I was banging doors with them just fine. one was gonna sell his to go buy a 2.5 mst

nice❤
I just got an MST RMX 2.5 chqssis kit, I hoping it will be cheaper and better than the RTRwhen finished.
Hey, Can You Guys Do A Review On The Scx24 4WS And the upgrades that can go on it?
I've never had a drift car but this thing looks fun. Can someone explain what's going on with the motor. Why do they want it mounted high up like that?
Higher center of gravity in the rear means that it's easier to throw the weight around.
Not to mention almost any conversion is based off a yd2 so you’ll have everything you need to do a conversion like a shark.
Sharks don’t convert into anything. They always keep their form.
I got mine but my reverse is foward what can it be
I've been into rc forever but always wanted to get into rc drifting but not sure which rtr to go with. I was thinking the mst forsure but now I don't know lol.
as someone that just got a rmx 2.5 its a great option just order the right battery
Price difference is CRAZY here in AUS. The MST is double the price of the yokomo here.
It's not though? Yokomo is like $500 while the rmx is around $750 and that comes with a transmitter when the yokomo doesn't.
Can u put more of your cars in stock plsssss
How does this compare to a hpi sport 3 drift? Is it worth upgrading or a get something else

I believe it's a p-tile flooring they installed, like a plastic resin. It's great flooring for r/c drifters.
