I understand the Onisiki model youre reviewing here is different than the Daruma they released. The Daruma has the end poiny settings and is a 3 axis gyro. Would you still prefer the Yokomo V4 over the Daruma? The daruma is only about $12 cheaper than the V4. Ive really liked the Daruma so far but im getting ready for a 2nd drift build lol. I appreciate your input
@LegendsPizzaCo hey there! Yes sadly they don't sell the cheap onisiki seen here anymore. And I'd love to say I know it all but I don't and I've not tried the Onisiki Daruma model so can't comment. However I will say the v4 is super cheap on Banzai Hobby shop. So I now have v4 in both my cars. Thanks!
@Time.2.Repent the d5? (Green jzx100 in the video) they were in this. But I've since gone back to the ally yeah racing ones (just d5 pro copies essentially) as I found I could get a better front end. I have done LOTS to the d5 now and videoed it all but sadly my laptop died and lost it. Was going to do a video of all the changes. I'll perhaps video an update?
@@DriftSpotLincoln Cool i am just watching way too many videos and landed back on your page.. LOL - Love the videos by the way - I am on the other side of the pond USA
I think awd doesn't get enough love. It's not easy to drift an awd without gyro because it's much faster and takes more comittement to get sideways. However, I think it's a lot of fun because in contrast to rwd there is no assistance from a gyro so you are actually fully driving the car. It all comes down to skill vs having a good gyro and setup.
I recently purchased a Mini Z ma020. And it’s amazing to drift AWD. I still have a long way to go but finally figured that throttle control is so important to get the right trajectory into the next drift or exit form a round about.
This is awesomeness. Can talk about the floor a little bit I am in rural Colorado and would love to have a moveable set up. I would like to know about the adhesive, company name, and shelf life. It looks so rad!
One chapter closes...and another opens. Best of luck at the new spot - looks like innthe long run it may be good for you building the community. Good luck!!!
A guy at the track did exactly the same swap. Didn't feel any difference whatsoever. The steering restriction is based on gain. My Onisiki didn't want to transition and didn't allow much manual steering with 64 gain on transmitter but 57 feels perfect.
Yes to a point. But no end points if your controller is cheaper, means over time you can damage servo. I think you can run higher gain before it happens on the yoko. I like the end point set. But agree that its splitting hairs. They don't sell that cheaper onisiki anymore. Shame. They were bargains!
@DriftSpotLincoln I guess my servo is pretty strong because it lasted 5 years without end points. Onisiki has released an updated version with end points called Fukurou but it's a shame their gyros aren't sold worldwide. And there's more competition in that range from other manufacturers like Power HD that fill the gap in.
@totallyrandomuser5760 totally agree. The cheap onisiki used to be the go to for newbies. Now it's got more features but more cost, it puts so many other choices in the way.
I just got the bug for this hobby after seeing 1 too many RC indoor drift track shorts. I picked up a Haiboxing 1/18 4wd drift car and loved it. I immediately after got a 1/10 kyosho fazer mk2 4wd drift car from my local hobby store and I don't regret it at all. I think a lot of people who remember owning an rc car toy as a kid think these cars are easy to drift; they are NOT. I've humbled myself many times this week on my 4wd. Build up to the 2wd proper indoor setup!
Im new to the drift car side of the hobby. Im leaning to 4wd. I will not be going to events or anythjng like that. All i have is pavement/asphalt/blacktop streets nothing smooth. Im looking to slid and just have fun. Would 4w be better than rw for these reasons? I see the rw getting stuck and just roasting tires.
Thanks, this was very helpful. I've just bought the D5 MR v2. I've built 25 plus cars so far but this is my first drift chassis and I will be upgrading as i build. Especially the drive shafts etc as you have mentioned. This is my first build getting back into rc cars. I will now be watching your other videos. Keep up the good work 👍
Is there a way to set endpoints for the Onisiki? I’m having the same issue with the lockout, and setting the endpoints in my transmitter doesn’t limit the gyros endpoints.
Not the base model onisiki ally one no. The better onisiki models have a button to set it. Check your model. If its the one I had. No. You can set the end points on your controller but that's only your steering and the gyro still has 100% unless it has the feature. Thanks
@joshuasalisbury789 everything else can be moved over to the rdx chassis. Or yd2 would be good too. You'll need a gyro. Onisiki make the cheapest good one
Thanks dude. I watched your video! So I've already put my ball diff in for next week. The yd2 is already up for sale fully back to stock so the gear diff might go with that sadly. Way I see it is the ball I can setup depending on surface a little easier. The gear one although you say its better it's harder to adjust. I ran my gear diff with 150cst in too so it's probably similar to your thin oil!
@@FPSRCDRIFT yeh essentially have both lying about. Haha. So ball diff is in. Motor is now high to try that. Rear camber to 1.5deg for the valinos. The rest is stock. What else did you change?
its recommended to use graphite instead of carbon fiber for flex decks because cf has a tendency to "spring back" while graphite is more lenient during flex
