you can put a red circlular adhesif around the posi side on the those bats and it'll double the visual security ;) if you are tying down a cable use something to stop it rubbing on the carbon or it will cut right through ;)
Awesome tips Troy! Good thing we don’t have to worry about driver weight like they do in the 1:1’s! They’d need a motor the size of an oil drum and a 3000A esc to regain all that lost power with me in there!😝😂
Exactly what I was looking for. Was told I needed a 100C battery but I don’t use boost or fancy. Nice to know I can get by with the 80c I found on sale.
my go-to is the CNHL 4000mAh 7.6V 2S 120C HV. They are usually under $30 a piece and weigh about 165g. They are very similar to the Gens Ace Redline 4000 LCG which is also very good. The CNHL seems to have a bit more runtime which explains the slight extra weight. For the price, they can't be beat.
@@RoadsideRC think I’m good for now buddy. With the heavy pain meds I’m on if I try and take to much in at once I’ll forget it all lol. Carpet drifting only atm but moving onto concrete asap
Funny I found this video today, Troy. Coincidentally, I was having a bit of trouble with my converted TT-02 and the thing is… LiPo will give me the power I want but on NiMH, it has the weight I need. As far as the Yokomo YD-2 goes, you can run Tamiya-style stick packs (both NiMH and 2S LiPo) or “shorty” 2S LiPo packs. The guys around me have use Lectron Pros, ProTek and Gens Ace. I’ve seen a few RêveD shorty packs but those were mostly on RêveD MC-1 chassis. I’ve only seen one or two actual Yokomo Racing Performer shorty packs but most have been Gens Ace or Lectron.
2 Questions here: What size of LiPo would you suggest for drifting? Gens Ace make 4000, 5100 and even 6000 S2 shorties. How much runtime do you get out of them..? Thank you so much in advance :) Regarding the bullets that fit both holes on the LiPo, I've seen they sell 4mm and 5mm Bullets and reduction shells. So one could reduce the + bullet in size and make it fit only one side.
1) the smallest/lightest lipo you can get. Even a 4000mah lasts a LONG time, especially depending on how much turbo/boost you are using. 2) Genius idea! If one is larger than the other = impossible to plug in backwards!
@@RoadsideRC Thank you so much for the quick response. I've been watching your videos nonstop for the past 3 days XD Overall great content and comparisons!
I know nothing about drift cars but they look fun, do you have to go to a drift track because there isn't any anywhere around me, or can you do it on different surfaces neat video Troy thanks
Now that I’ve got a few of the Redline batteries (needed the really slim batteries to fit the Usukani chassis), I think I’m gonna go with bullets for my drift cars. Sticking with Deans for the crawlers tho…
Hey 👋🏻thanks as always nice and informative video. I have Hobbywing XR10 Pro-Stock 2S 80A ESC and Gens Ace Redline 2S LiHV Battery 130C (7.6V/5100mAh). ESC’s website says 6V - 7.4V so is it still safe to use 7.6v ?
VERY informative! Thanks! Where can I get that XT90 charging plug with 5mm bullets? I have a Spektrum charger and I'd like to charge it with that...thanks in advance!
Hello. This might be a dumb question but what’s a good 2s LiPo micro battery for a 1/24-1/28 drift car? I can’t seem to these “jst-xh” anywhere. I’m such a noob.
Both of those ESCs will perform similarly. I would suggest checking this out and going with the XR10: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LPVY8W74l5c.html
