MST RMX2.0S Upgrade! Cheap Carbon Fiber Chassis Installed and Tested

The second Best Upgrade for the MST RMX2.0s!
Part one was installing the Futaba GYD450 gyro (amzn.to/3CVlvIF) and the Futaba 4-channel controller (amzn.to/3CZU6FH).
Part two is installing this VERY budget-friendly carbon fiber chassis kit (amzn.to/3E4dLp6). At $60, I was honestly a little concerned. Would the screw holes line up correctly? Would the dimensions be off or parts cut wrong?
Quick answer - everything was GREAT!
In this video I install the chassis, show the weight difference with it installed, and then go put it through a test drive!

Ive been involved with mtn bikes since 1982 I'm 62 years old and totally agree with you about racing anything lighter is better. Rotating weight more so than static weight. Very simple more weight is hard to get moving takes longer to stop and is harder for suspension to control. I'm new building drift cars but built my fair share of crawlers. I'm learning lots from you and thanks for your efforts.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Great! Thank you for the kind words, and glad the videos have been helpful!

@dirtdevilrcmotorsports 2 года назад

I understand why people put weight in the front of their MST chassis (to counter the understeer thats built into the car) but I will never understand why you would need weight in the back given where the weight is located on the chassis already. This is a great money saving tip for those using the MST chassis.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

See, I disagree with front weight also!

@dirtdevilrcmotorsports 2 года назад

@@RoadsideRC I don't agree with them putting it in the car, I just understand it. It's easier to buy the turn buckles and tune the under steer out but like you said genuine MST parts can be expensive.

Fun fact about adding weight to cars, early Porsche 911s had cast iron weights to help with handling, guess it’s not so much of a bad idea 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Think about why that was though!! It was because of they were trying to fix the otherwise poor weight balance of the car. If they could have made the heavy side lighter - they certainly would have.

@monsrc3122 2 года назад

Physic told us heavier vehicles require longer distance to stop due to the weight, I'm sure we all have seen a movie scene of a truck skidding sideways taking forever to stop. Heavier vehicles will have the potential for longer and steeper angle for drift, all depends on the size of the track and surface. Also it can also give more realistic movement at the cost of function. The guys looking for realism don't care about function.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

Your theory on a long and steeper angle of drift is interesting. That is certainly not something I have experienced. Whether in 1:1 or 1:10, the competitors are targeting a lower weight to improve performance. Perhaps in your scenario the longer drift and steeper angle isn't a sign kf greater performance?

@monsrc3122 2 года назад

@@RoadsideRC 1:1 cars are generally over weight and under powered to begin with, and removing weight in a street car is always a performance gain. While RC is the complete opposite generally under weight and a 10.5T motor is like a giant Tesla motor with outrageous amount power that if it's in a 1:1 equivalent it would go 0-500mph in 2 second and that amount of Torque the engine will likely rip itself out of the car. Then we're not playing by the same traction rules because 1:1 cars are running rubber while rc drift tires are mostly plastic. Take a look at this video of the D-Like brand ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UsUC2UxyAY0.html these japanese guys are obsess with weight shift for realism, they have a hybrid RWD vehicle but the front drive pulley remains in the front with no dog bone so it is a RWD, I think for gyroscoping effect or something, I don't know, he even taped weights under his body shell. but you can see at the end of the video, the way the car drift looks amazing.

@RoadsideRC 2 года назад

100% agree. Those folks are very concerned with realism - and it is awesome to watch! That does not mean their extra weight correlates to a better performing car - which is what I was asking about with your comment.

@monsrc3122 2 года назад

@Roadside RC well if you push 10 vs 1 lbs weight on ice travelling at the exact same speed and let go, which one will stop at greater distance. 10 weight will have stronger traction which will slow it down and greater inertia / momentum which will make it go further 1 weight will have less traction which will make to go further but but lower inertia / momentum which will make it go slower i guess at some point too much weight will be bad and also at some point too little weight is also bad, it's a battle between the traction and inertia if the inertia is too little, the car won't stay side ways at high angles for long.

@5:33 - I wonder if you can remove those 2 carbon fiber bars without seriously affecting the performance of the vehicle because I am interested to adding as much interior details (to make it look like a real car)... but they are in the way.

I believe you can. The chassis will flex more, but some people like it that way.

@falconaz Год назад

I did a lot of experimenting with different batteries. Ranged from 5200mah full size, 4000mah shorties, to 1300mah packs. Huge difference in car handling. Less weight the car seems to float... more weight it feels planted. I think for my $60 - $70, you'd be better off buying different batteries and experimenting with battery weight and placement.

@Climb385 Год назад

Was this chassis upgrade worth it? I recently just got into rwd drifting with a mst 2.0, watched a lot of your videos. Wondering if this chassis upgrade is truly beneficial? And what would be an awesome alignment spec to start learning

@RoadsideRC Год назад

Alignment: 100% leave it as it comes from the box. Only start messing with alignment after MANY HOURS of driving and when you are trying to fix a specific issue. Otherwise, you are just confusing things. The chassis: 100% worth it. Removing weight will always make the car perform better.

You need to: 1) ensure your throttle channel trim is set to zero 2) re-calibrate the ESC. Very simple, follow the ESC manual that you can find on the MST website.

@@RoadsideRC a bit vague. I was hoping for more impute. Do you dislike it only because of the cost? I’m guessing after watching this video maybe the weight would be an issue.

Buy once cry once instead of having to upgrade later anyway. I like your channel good info. 👍

@RoadsideRC 11 месяцев назад

@freerangehuman7016 You hit the nail on the head! 99% of the questions I get are, "I have $100 and want to get started in RWD drifting - what do I do?" Or, "I've never touched an RC car before but want to start...how do I?" That means a focus on the easiest way to get started. Plus, Ii have drifted with folks who have huge $$$$ tied up in their cars...and it seems performance is mostly around the tune and driving style. Yes - the shark final form looks AMAZING. Yes, my estimate is that it is also HEAVY and might leave some performance on the table with that. I've thought of picking up the new MD2.0 and doing a more "high-budget" build. We will see.
