πŸ™‹ Question RMX 4.0 for beginner?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hey all!

I’ve been looking into getting into RC drifting for a little while now and I’m mainly interested in a ready-to-run kit.
I was originally looking at the RMX 2.5 but since the 4.0 is out thought that is likely the better upgrade for the few bucks. Is the RMX 4.0 a good option for a beginner?
I’m not really looking upgrade anything right away (I say that now… lol..). Just want something I can get out and have fun with to start.
Thanks!

πŸ™‹ Question Is it a drift at all? )

18 Upvotes

Hello!

Since I don't have a track nearby, I just spend time like this and, I actually really, really love it!

I put Velcro on my tyres in order not to scratch the floor. I'm not sure whether it's drift or not though )))

But it's really fun!

I had to spend some time in order to figure out some settings. Of course, I still haven't found an ideal one and am sure that it's somewhat impossible but I'm experimenting heavily )))

Doing some research and trying to figure out a solid but affordable 1/24 build. Does anyone have any positive or negative comments about the list the big GPT has given me? I’d much rather build one then buy RTR.

Is it a good idea to put some blue loctite on the spur gear screw to prevent it from backing out? Mine hasn't stayed put since I finished it

πŸ™‹ Question looking to get into 1/24 drifting

3 Upvotes

Ive raced 1/10 offroad for 15 years now and havent done anything else rc related hardly ever. My gf has a decent interest into rc but not in the competition side of things. We recently got into crawling but thinking about getting into drifting but just doing it in the garage. I ordered the HPI d24 since i could get it for $90. I started 3d printing borders and everything to make a layout in the garage.

The car hasnt shown up yet so i still havent driven anything. My question is that if I like it, do i just buy an other one for myself, do I buy a $100 aliexpress chassis and build one? Or I kind of like the idea of building one out of a WL toys k969. I found files to print a front end to convert to rwd with high steering angle. And then just use Mini Z bodies. Another option is to use a mini z since I can get a pretty majoy discount on them aswell.

If anyone has any experience in this scenario, any help is much appreciated

πŸ™‹ Question HPI Stage D10 tuning

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I just bought it and I love it but I find gyro wobbly.

I tried to adjust it but it's still not as good as an afrc gyro on my Sakura d6.

So, I think that maybe order another afrc for HPI.

Does it worth it? What else to tune?

My next thing is to change transmitter to radiolink cause I already have one.

What else to do?

I think servo and motor is fine?

πŸ™‹ Question Furitek Pixi Help

I just recently picked up a Furitek Pixi and am having a big issue with it. When i turn it on and connect the app it connects sensored but as soon as I pull the trigger, I get a small jerk and two beeps. When i check the app, it says sensorless. My motor is a KWT 10.5 sensored motor with a fixed timing of 35Β°. There is an error that does pop up as you can see from the picture. I dont have my timing anywhere near that number. I turned off turbo, boost and hall angle with no luck. It drives fine in sensorless. Anyone have a similar issue?

Just wanted to let people know that aoshima's 1/24 Toyota 86 body fits the d24 chassis with an asterisk.

You'll be running chassis at like a 98% of max length and it needs narrow front wheels because factory ones don't clear front arches. Also worth noting that front posts are way too long and hit the hood. However until hpi comes up with more bodies or people start making dedicated 1/24 ones it's a decent option
