This was great, Rex! To be honest, it's great to see my video on here, so thanks ;) You explained everything nicely, especially about the mild-side standard cars. Mild 2 worked really well for all round use, but I always find Mild 3 better only if I'm silent drifting, mostly on bayside. Other than that, it's perfect enough. Amazing job!!
T-Rex you are a legend my friend :) I've been in a few lobbies with you over years for RR7. Good to finally hear your voice after so many games together in RR7. I don't play that much anymore, but I will still hop back on every once in a while. Good to see you guys are still continuing to carry the Ridge Racer Torch :) I hope Namco NEVER shuts down their servers for this classic game!
Hmmm... I think the software manual that came along with the PS3 game disc already briefly described what I would probably have to say about the three drift types. STD: balanced drift type, grip level and NOS charge ability & topspeeds MLD: easy to understeer during drifts in corners, highest NOS topspeeds but not as good charge ability as STD DYN: opposite to MLD -- easy to oversteer and difficult to regain control of machine, recommended for "advanced players" as the manual quotes. I would still take your request into consideration, though, maybe I'll make a video about this topic one day if I feel like it :)
Thanks for the compliment ;) Different aero parts makes no difference to the performance of cars, you can basically leave the aero parts stock and only customize the engine, tires, NOS etc. So yes, you can say they're just for style.
Honestly without this I would have never gotten the right parts on the cars. Specifically the jujak, i put it on grip +3 and during drifts its extremely unstable. Thanks a bunch for this!
Very much appreciated, glad that it could help you :) I have used Bosconian +3 on my Jujak for the first three to four years in this game, not the best combination but still the most stable one nevertheless ;D
That's a nice tutorial, a guide for every cars, and explaining what is good or not was probably the most useful thing during this tutorial XD Nice job ! (BTW on my fatalita, abeille, rc410 and meltfire, i am always using bosconian +3, as knhtymh did. With boscinian 2 i feel a bit slower, but oh well, everyone has their own driving style XD)
I'm with Max on this one, way too used to Bos+3 and how those machines handle with 'em lol. Honestly surprised about the Centellee though, that has always been a clear Ast+3 for me. Since it's so weighty NOS charging is never an issue and Boscos just sound like an understeering nightmare on that boat ô_o
@@RVI985 I have also been driving with Bosco+3 for the past few years, only that I recently discovered how +2 gives fewer understeer in chicanes like Old Central and RC Riverfront, but I'm still using +3 at Bayside Freeway for now. I guess we just need to keep experimenting the best setup for our own taste lol
@@TREX320 Ok, I think now I know what it must feel like to develop first signs of going senile...out of curiosity I wanted to check out those tyre settings after all, only to discover that the vast majority of my STD, and even some MLD setups, already were completely different from what I had 100% assumed they were (and Wild Gang aside I hadn't messed around with this stuff in YEARS). The only machines I'm actually using with Bos+3 are the RC410 and......Centellee (facepalm^10). The way that thing handles I was completely convinced it must've been Astaroth -_-; As for the rest: Abeille Bos+1, Fatalita & Meltfire Bos+2, Magnifico Ast+2, Esperanza Ast+1...so yeah...those all work mighty fine too I guess? lol Then I switched the Fatalita to +3, and lo and behold, suddenly I'm actually able to pull off halfway competent Bayside SDs >_> tl;dr, forget my nonsense from 2 days ago, I'm dumb.
Nice, the tire recommendations help a lot. I feel the explanation on nitrous types was a bit short. I was driving my Fatalita with rolling thunder tires lol. While for obvious reasons Galaxian U is the go to Type i'd like to hear your oppinion the other types too. Like is there anything, flex or extend is actually good at?
TBH I started this game using Astaroth on my Fatalita, took me a couple of rookie years to realize I needed Bosconian tires for better NOS charge LOL Flex NOS is quite ideal if you have no idea about the NOS points of certain tracks and don't want too much trouble messing up with regular NOS, but it is obviously on a slower side comparing to UNOS (Galaxian Normal Charge U). The problem with Extended NOS is that the ultimate charge is not as optimized as UNOS does, and pretty much all of the tracks aren't designed for NOS points of this type of nitrous in the first place... if this NOS type is at least 10~15kph faster then it could at least be somewhere competitive against UNOS :/ Hi-NOS is a more competitive option against UNOS, but only on courses that have shorter straights and more turns (i.e. Seacrest District, Island Circle, Sunset Heights, etc.).
If you wanna give Flex a serious shot, definitely use it on the Wild Gang...that's something I've really been getting into recently. It's also the most competitve you'll likely ever get with that nitro type vs UNOS. Wild Gang because it still keeps its slower NOS gauge depletion, meaning you can boost longer, and the topspeed is alright too all things considered. Only disadvantage is that it'll also take longer to switch to the faster "white" phase, but the entire strategy will revolve around just keeping up in the slipstream of other players to save up and attack on one long final sprint at the end anyway. And Extended...aside from "just for fun" and as a challenge it's unfortunately not really good for anything. The Terrajin's unique 20+ sec double charge on Bayside maybe, as long as people are willing to push you along...that's about it really...
@@RVI985 ah that's a shame, the purple flames look so cool haha. Nah i think i'm good with UNOS and Hi but it's nice to know that. I'll have to use the other nitro types for a bit cause i haven't unlocked the nitro +100 plug-in yet
Nice, do you maybe have a good tactic for the kamata angelus race? Love ur vids 🙂 I was also wondering how the cpu drifts, they drift without leaving behind tire tracks, is there any proper way to controlably do that?
@@willem445 Sorry for such late reply. Regarding to your question, you can't virtually have any drift angle while performing silent drifts, so there is no way to do that.
Thanks for this, hopefully it will help me improve. I would have never thought of using Grip +2 or 3, so I may as well try it. (Maybe I’ll have a chance to keep up with you guys for more than one lap) Also, I was wondering where to use certain Plug-In Units, because I always mess up when choosing them.

Am I late to the party? Aww T^T First, thank you and your friends for making all the tutorials over the past few days! Really appreciate all your effort, and all the tutorials are really easy to follow! Also, thanks for covering the new "Mild +2" trend! I've been seeing Mild +2 setups a lot lately in numerous Rosy's streams as well as in otoyaho's RC410 tutorial, and I wondered why use Mild +2 when rr-ken.net stated using Mild +3 to maximize the inertial drift potential. Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind the trend through your experience! Thanks for including all the clips to further illustrate your points! Especially Abeille's side-by-side comparison, that is cool! One quick question: I know that RT +3 increases acceleration, but I've also read on rr-ken.net that Ast +3 also increases acceleration. Is that true? Last but not least, thank you for the CO machine clips at the beginning and in the end! CO machines look cool, and were the true work horses back in RR6, yet in RR7... Ugh... They just need to be loved. 辛苦你啦！(I just can't find a direct or good enough translation in English to express this, so there you go~)
多謝！ I haven't actually test the acceleration comparison between RT+3 and AST+3, but I think they both have different acceleration abilities in different machines.
Gday mate, thanks for your breakdown of custom cars - I never understand how to set them up to win Online Battles with Custom cars. So me and my friend would play against others online with Arcade Machines only, and we do very well, we win many times with the standard cars, but when changing to custom cars, we always do very bad.
Thanks a lot for this,now I can properly drive dynamic machines. Btw you might recognize me from the lobbies "BotAndreas444",I know,crappy username but PSN didn't let me use my normal one :( Anyway,thanks once again for the tutorial. P.S: Sorry for blocking you in that race where you used the Hijack.
Hey, great video it helped me a ton. But I can't seem to access the guide that was linked. If there is any way I can see it or if you can link a public copy please let me know. Thanks again for the helpful video.
Hi, thanks for letting me know that the link wasn't working @@, I've already updated the link. Also glad to know this video helps, thanks you as well ;)
Sorry for the late reply >_< Indeed the Fatalita is slightly more "understeery" than its fellow Bosco cars. Changing down the Mildness of Bosconian tires should do help the issue a bit compared to full-on +3. Astaroth tires won't have the understeer issue at all, but as mentioned in the video above, you will end up having not as much ultimate charge as Bosconian tires.
This was a great watch :D Oh, just one little but important info that needs to be added about NOS types for newcomers: Never EVERevereverever do Galaxian B Charge. Just don't, not even "just to give it a try". It's the most useless thing in the entire game. It's the Solvalou engine of nitro types, but somehow even worse XP
Oh yeah, I forgot to give a shout out to the fact you used COs for the in- and outro bits. Nice! I wonder how many viewers will watch and think "Huh? What the hell are those cars!?" An even bigger shout out to mentioning and linking yasdad's classic Complete Guide. I sure know what I used to get me started in the game aaaaaaall these years back :D
@@RVI985 Well, given that how impractical those COs are in online battles, they are at least brilliant for making "demo runs" with their flamboyant appearances LOL
i just grinded 100 manufacturer points on sinseong motors using astaroth +3 tyres on the jujak, horrible nitrous charge and handling so bad i ragequit multiple times should've watched this video earlier lol
Probably :P But that's to be said, I had also been fitting the least efficient types of tires to some of my machines on the first 5 to 6 years of gameplay without any tutor and advice, it was only the recent couple of years I started to understand the best possible setups for each respective machines and relearn the handling all over again ^.^;
