[Review] MA Racing 1.5 1/24 RWD Drift Car 

Maximum is 120mm by the original parts but you can set the wheel camber/caster to extend that a bit so yes, it can do 123mm. You can also extend the chassis with DIY plates so the wheelbase is practically infinite.

@@BeaversHobby good because I was planning to use this with a Fujimi kit of a Nissan stagea and it has the of 123mm

Yes, it's pvc/vinyl table cloth. Here's how I made it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wM-k0NpaxMg.html

It's just Mini-D or Yokomo Warrior 1/28 but Mini-D is more common. I guess there aren't many people who have it so you don't really see the videos.

Yes, you can use smaller (standard size) tyres. Other things you can do are changing tyre compound, change the suspension setup and change the drifting surface or coat it with slippery oil.

Long story short; Mini-Z MR03 or Mini-Q Q2/MRC-01 will do fine for touring with 1/24 body. Full details: Unfortunately most of 1/24 cars right now are for drifting. We generally do 1/24 to accommodate the scale model. For touring around, stick with 1/28 because it has durable body from Mini-Z. You can also modify Mini-Z MR03 to extend it however you like. Using RWD drift chassis for touring doesn't work well because 1/24 doesn't come with differential needed to drive normally. Also the steering arrangement to get maximum angle doesn't withstand the stress and grip of touring.

It's this one, MA Racing 1.5. It's easy to build, easy to tune and easy to drive even for a beginner. The only troubles being the price and availability. I don't know if it's still $400 with limited run or not. But if it's not available anymore, DriftArt 3S is also a good choice.

@@BeaversHobby wahhh.. Thank you very much for giving me the answer I need!!

These are Skyline R33 V-Spec wheels I got from white body package. Then painted them with gunmetal gray. Here's the body. www.rcmart.com/kyosho-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r33-vspec-white-body-set-w-wheel-for-mini-z-awd-sports-ma-020s-mzn182-00074722 Or if you are in the US www.kenonhobby.com/Kyosho-Mini-Z-MA020-SKYLINEGT-R-R33-V-Spec-White-body-set-wWheel_p_45998.html

GLD or DRZ V2

@@BeaversHobby thank you! Any body recommendation for slow/smooth drifts? Or does it make only a small difference?

@@muaythai193 Keep it 90-94mm narrow body with short front and rear overhang. All of the Skylines, GT86/BRZ and Supra Mk.V (the BMW M4 one) are good for that.

@@BeaversHobby wow didn’t expect that. So the shorter wheelbase bodies drift slower and smoother than the 98-102mm bodies with overhang (BMW M3 GTR, Chrysler 300C, Honda Odyssey)

@@muaythai193 The speed is from the tyres so choose whatever the most slippery available like DS Racing LF-5. The short wheelbase and narrow will make it smooth and agile.

Nice catch! They are exactly R33 GT-R wheels. I got them when I bought R33 GT-R V Spec unpainted body. Hopefully it's still in stock. banzaihobby.com/Kyosho-MZN182

It depends on your track size. 5500KV is really good and you can gear it up or down very well with this chassis so that's a good start. 3500KV if your track is small, under 2m wide (that's in this case, normally it'd be fine until 3m). 7500KV is way too fast for micro drift track. You might need that if you will run it along 1/10 though.

Thank you! Do you have a link to the instructions? The one I found is for the earlier version?

Nevermind - I found the instructions! Googling the instructions only brought the older version up. QR code on box was overlooked

Building mine now! 😀 Thanks so much. I thought it came with a gyro from this video. Can you suggest a couple good mid to high-price/quality gyro? Also - do you know if the disc brake set is available or will be?

@@thedreamingsupercade Take a look at AGF GY04M V3 or AFRC GYS-2 V3 for the gyro. It's basically the same, good and reliable at a reasonably price. As for the brake disks, it doesn't seem to be available right now and I don't know if they will remake it or sell separately at this moment.

- AGF A11CLS - AFRC D2114TG-S - DriftArt servo (basically the AFRC D2114TG-S) - PN Racing V4 Anima

​@BThx eaversHobby but what is with this 1? AGF B13DLM V2 Mini Servo?

@@michaelstronghand7584 No, that won't fit. It's a lot bigger than what this car can take. Only the servos on the list will fit this car.

​@@BeaversHobbySorry for the error but I am not using this chassis my chassis is the Atomic DRZ MP I was wondering if the servo that I mentioned would fit in my car.

@@michaelstronghand7584 No worries. Unfortunately the one you pick won't fit either. DRZ3 MP needs even smaller servo than this. There are Atomic servo, PN Anima (the thin one) or AGF A06CLS. There should be one from GL Racing too but I had it and it was weak and slow compared to the others.

I tried to get banggood to send one but no luck. As far as I know it still runs the same protocol so it's not going to be any faster, higher resolution nor longer range. The extra adjustments on the transmitter are really nice if you will use those. Personally if it's my own money I'd get the Futaba 4PM Plus because it's the same price and that would be a nice upgrade to my old 3PK.

@@BeaversHobby how long is the range on the 4pm

@@brianstevens2244 90m (300ft)

Yeah, with that price tag, I'd question why you wouldn't just get a 1/10 chassis

Yeah, the gear sound is really echoing and amplified with the body.
