Yea the main reason I designed my WLToys K969 build the way I did was to fit all my Mini-Z racing bodies I use on my MR-03. They all have a 98mm wheelbase and are wideset so they fit the K969 but I had to design the suspension extremely low to fit the McLarens and stuff on it. Some of the bodies I have like the P1 GTR have a wide body kit I put on from Garage Hiro and I love how it came out especially with the color changing paint I added. I would like to make an adjustable wheelbase K969 down the road to fit 1/24 or 1/28 scale model kits on it eventually but I'm happy with my K969 for now. I'm currently working on my LDRC, Jiabaile and Kamtom cars modding/upgrading those so they will keep me busy in the mean time lol

Well it's hard to say since one doesn't really stand out more than the other enough to say it's "better" the electronics and chassis is exactly the same while the wheels are the same except for the Porsche but doesn't really give it an advantage over the others atleast not for drifting, maybe for racing it's a tad better. The Skyline and Porsche have the most room under the body to add other stuff if that matters but I'm currently taking all the best parts from two chassis to make good one lol

I put a lot of work into this one over a long period of time so I would say take your time and build your own the way you want like I did or fix the one you have. Which ever route you take is up to my friend.

Yea I should have realized that looking at the rear end lol They labeled it as an Aventador and I have a 1/43 scale Aventador so I got them mixed up

You're welcome man, glad you are having fun with the hobby and my videos can help you out. Wish I had a guy around here doing some custom builds like that lol I do what I can with what I got here in the US and I definitely don't know everything in this hobby but I try to share what I know to the best of my knowledge. Thanks for watching my channel and I hope you continue to have a blast my friend

I have a layout of how I'm going to do everything, I'm just finishing up on maxing out the steering on my LDRC then I'll be working on the 1/43 scale right after.

The remote needs 4 AAA batteries that do not come with the box so you need to supply your own.

Thanks man. I just design my own custom parts to make these small rc drift cars better like maxing out the steering angle. I learned mostly through trial and error until it drives the way I want. This is a custom WLToys K969 chassis that I 3d printed parts so I could fit Mini-Z bodies on it. ua-cam.com/users/shortsD8-s0S2wNwU ua-cam.com/users/shortsnHrMBq9IZCY ua-cam.com/users/shortsv0-JMwl80Qk ua-cam.com/users/shortsLN2FqD8peGk

Thank you, just trying help out anyone that needs it

@ I need it and you helped by explaining it clearly. I love the recapping at the end of the video. I’m gonna try this camber and toe angle today!

@@pieterjansenvanrensburg7322 Sounds good, glad I could help you out my friend. Have fun drifting

I got it off tunetank.com That City by Musicarea

I don't know, I bought random parts over the past year and put it together piece by piece. It's a custom build with my own 3d printed parts as well so it's one of a kind, nothing like the stock WLToys K969. Also it's not for sale, sorry man.

Everything is smaller on the Kamtom since it's 1/32 scale so I doubt you can use Mini-Z parts that are 1/28 scale. I haven't measured the diff sizes to compare yet but just by looking at it the Mini-Z size diffs look too big to fit. I plan on doing a disassembly video on the Kamtom soon so I'll see the size differences when I take it apart.

@@AirToGroundRCFPV thank you very much for the reply!

@@ivanluhi No problem, The springs might be similar in size for the shocks so it's possible they could be used so I'll confirm that soon.

No problem man. I live in the US, Florida to be specific.

Yea later on I looked at it and came to that conclusion but I already posted the video lol So yea just cut it off its really not needed for anything

@ thanks for the reply 😊

On my channel I have a playlist of videos showing how I started and finished the K969 rebuild

I talked to someone who already burnt out the servo from driving it a lot so it probably won't last long it you beat it up. I have a metal gear servo of similar size that I will swap out on mine since I plan on upgrading everything on the car. It's a replacement servo for the Orlandoo Hunter Crawler.

You could but that would be difficult to find the right size tiny brushless motor and kv. You would also need to replace the ESC for a brushless one so you would have to get rid of the stock electronics and use your own receiver and transmitter too. Then you would need to design your own mount for the motor on the chassis and try to get the gears to line up. It would not be an easy mod to do.

@ can I change the servo? but idk what size will fit the kit. if i changes will it improve the steering angle?

@@thienn9496 You could but changing the servo won't fix the steering angle. You will have to move the servo to a better spot and change the steering mount to a swiveling T-mount and grind away the plastic around the wheels so they can get a bigger turning radius. Plus the electronics board will be in the way of the wheels too so you would need to change out the electronics to your own that's smaller in size that doesn't interfere with the wheels. It's also not an easy mod, I've started to do it on mine but I won't be done with it for a week or two atleast.

@ thanks man, im waiting your video

They should be the first two links down in the description of the video

For drifting a little bit of extra weight on this thing is not a bad idea but definitely too heavy for racing. Diecast is a pain to work with though so I would rather mess with plastic bodies instead, what manufacturer makes those model kits if you mind me asking? If they are good I may go that route instead, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks man, I got a lot of work ahead of myself with all these cars lol

hahaha right? I love the 1/43 scale size but this one is built better than they are at the moment so it's easier for me to mod and stuff. I will still do all the upgrades and everything I had planned for the 1/43 cars but when I saw this one I knew it had some potential for what I can turn it into. The new LDRC 1/28 models are a let down, they are too toy grade and I'm not even gonna waste my time with that so this was the only other good option to choose from and probably my last mini rc car I will be modifying for now until something really good comes out but right now I don't see anything else out worth my time.

​​​@@AirToGroundRCFPV I can't decide to get this or the LDRC 1/28 R34...... Bc if I go ahead and go 1/24-28 scales. I might as well get a real chassis and i can't stop eyeballing the BMR-X RWD with the front motor position...for reasons.. 😬... I'm trying to find a soild drifter for a 20×20foot polished concrete carport driving area... the 1/43 is awsome as hell but I need something better... I got the skills bc I've lived a lifetime on forza... I needs The Car... Any recommendations from anyone would be helpful.... .. I don't really want a mini z.. The mini q and d seem ok but I'm still looking for that 1/28ish scale Unicorn.... I got a great "yard car" 1/16mjx ... I got a Unicorn street car.. 1/8 arrma infraction... dear god.. I love.. Now I just need a soild carport/indoor car....

@@adamross4774 That really comes down to you and your budget. If you have the money, get a top shelf 1/24 or 1/28 scale chassis designed for drifting and put whatever body you want on it but if you want to go cheaper the LDRC 1/18 scale car is probably the best cheap drifter for the area you want to drift it.

Yea out of the box for it's price it's really not bad. I wish these companies would stop making everything AWD though, it would be nice to see some RWD models for drifting in this price range. I will convert it to RWD soon and increase steering angle but it's work I wish I didn't have to do. I have a metal gear servo I was debating on using for one of my 1/43 scale builds but I think I will use it for this since it's almost the same exact size. It's a replacement upgrade for the Orlandoo Hunter crawler but it's perfect for these little drift builds.

@@AirToGroundRCFPV What if a Fella took the front drive shaft out?

@@joepiper6064 That's what I'll do to turn it into RWD but the steering angle needs to be increased to drift better with RWD. So I'll remove the center drive shaft and front differential/solid axle, then I'm gonna redesign the front steering mechanism to max out the angle.

The LDRC models are a great starting point for sure. Don't feel dumb for being in the RC hobby at that age, there's nothing wrong with that. At that age it's easier to understand how to fix things and makes things work, etc. Life can be rough so there's nothing wrong with having some fun and this hobby is great for the family to get involved with too so you guys enjoy yourselves

It's hard to pass up the NFS:MW M3 GTR lol glad you're having fun with it, it's size makes it easy to drive anywhere.

Yea even better since you won't have to keep turning off the internal gyro every time you turn the car on.

@@AirToGroundRCFPV thx for fast reply

@@samnia No problem

Definitely a tough question. I love the 1/43 size more if they were built better, just hate having to modify and customize everything the way I want especially when they are that small. The 1/32 has potential, still relatively small but big enough to have individual suspension and room to mod things easier. There's pros and cons for each I can't really give you a definitive answer yet.

Yea I noticed they are plastic solid axles, didn't check to see if it had bearings yet so you're saying it has bushings? that sucks, def need to change those then for sure

I don't have as much as you think I do otherwise I'd be buying 300 to 500 dollar builds instead of these $40 rc cars haha this channel is helping with some of it but still not much.

I know right lol

Brooo, you're telling me, I'm so over it too. Every new small scale drifter comes AWD for some reason, I don't get why it's the main set up. I feel it would be cheaper and easier to make them RWD out of the box instead, I'm tired of having to mod everything into RWD.

@@AirToGroundRCFPV i hear there is a new red miata LDRC with metal transmission and actual suspension now. its the "flagship" model

@@hardtobearit Hopefully they don't increase the price too much then. "Flagship" lol just for adding parts that should have come with the car from the beginning. I guess that's all we have to look forward to from LDRC since the 1/28 scale drifter they just came out with is straight up toy grade. I won't waste my time getting it that's why I opted out to review this car instead.

@@AirToGroundRCFPV i know they are slowly updating all the cars. new motor receiver tires and all of that sorta stuff. whats the new car they have?

@@hardtobearit So they came out with a 1/28 scale model and at first I was excited to see what they could make at the size and I'm disappointed with the direction they went with it. It has no suspension front or back, it comes in 1s or 2s but 2s version was difficult to find when I was looking for it. No gyro, I forgot if it even had lights at all, the chassis is designed like an oversized toy car it's a huge let down Plus they are trying to get 25 to 40 bucks for it.

Yea no need for the ball bearings if you are gonna lock it anyway. glad I could help you out my friend.

I go over that in better detail in this video ua-cam.com/video/_1ls_NlmVLM/v-deo.html

Thank you

They all have their own separate frequencies and can be driven at the same time together without interference.

Thanks man and yea I hate that design it blows. Did you try the red Loctite that came with it?

You can swap out to a bigger one if you want, just gotta make sure you have room to fit it under the body.

ua-cam.com/users/shortsnHrMBq9IZCY ua-cam.com/users/shortsv0-JMwl80Qk ua-cam.com/users/shortsLN2FqD8peGk

Yea that's basically what the body was designed to fit on. As long as your MR-03 is set up for 98mm wheelbase and wide(not narrow) bodies.

@AirToGroundRCFPV would the Mclaren readyset work on this, I believe it's a MR-03 chassis

@@nikoicee Yes, the P1 GTR, Senna GTR, F1 GTR and 12C GT3 are all wideset with 98mm wheelbase. The MR-03 or MR-04 will work.

@@AirToGroundRCFPV would I need to buy any additional parts ?

@@nikoicee To fit the Ferrari on the MR-03 chassis? No it should fit right on.

I haven't checked but I was able to use a WLToys K969 stock spring on it and that's about an inch long uncompressed so maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch compressed.
