      @@sammybaka Hi Sammy, Great videos!
      I have a GLR (need to buy a battery, motor, and wheels to finish), and an MR-03, and I would like to buy my next 1/28.
      What do you recommend as my next purchase ?
      GLD, Mini-Z buggy, or Losi Mini-T or other ?. I am trying to improve my skills in my apartment before I go to a track.
      Thank you!

      @@radiocontroljourney1650 I'm happy to provide some ideas. Please keep in mind that apartment condition without a track is going to feel quite different from a track. At home the practice helps me become more familiar with the feel of the transmitter and electronics, and how to drive in extreme slippery condition (throttle control), but still track experience is essential, and the car setup will be different (tires, suspension, esc programming).
      That said, getting a next 1/28 is always fun. If you are looking at grip driving, you can consider AWD like Atomic SZ2 or GLA. For more RWD like the GLR, perhaps something a bit different like Atomic MRZ Pro or MRT. I really love the Mini-Z Buggy but it's bigger at 1:24. It works indoor but doesn't have tight turning circle like a GLR or MR-03. Losi Mini-T is 1:18 and bigger still. I don't have it but I imagine that's going to be too big for most apartments.
      For 1/28 RWD drifting, GLD remains a good option. If you enjoy building, DriftArt 2.6 CC Plus would be nice (I'm currently thinking about buying one). These two are very compatible with autoscale bodies. There are all kinds of 1/24 drift chassis but I haven't looked too much into it because they aren't not directly compatible with autoscale.

    Hello Toyota GT one LM what offset wheels and tires for hardwood floor or suggest something else . MR 04 , GL racing,,,,,
    Thank you . Happy New year.😅

      Happy new year! For hardwood floor, AWD is better but RWD can kind of work too. MR-03/4 can work nice because of the extra weight with the AAA batteries. I recommend PN radial super soft rear and Kyosho 20 degree radial for the front. If you are using the stock LM motor pod (with the LM-length diff), then you won't be able to fit extra 14mm wide wheels in the body.

      It's the tire compound and weight. The brushess vs brushed motor isn't important. Brushed motor is enough power at home

      Welcome! I buy a lot of stuff from wolframrc in the US www.wolframrc.com/shop/tires/28?page=1&limit=60&sort_by=price&sort_order=desc . On hardwood floor, you will need to keep the surface pretty clean all the time. If you go with kyosho, I would do 20 deg radial on all 4 wheels. If you do PN, you can consider getting super soft slick. Wide vs narrow depends on the body you are using. Which body do you have?

      With R34, it's expecting 1mm offset narrow front and rear. 20 deg kyosho should give you quite a lot of grip as an awd. Multi offset awd rims www.wolframrc.com/product/multi-offset-wheel-set-white-awd-kyosho/508?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=true

    • @sammybaka
      @sammybaka  2 роки тому

      I might have been too nice in describing them. I would say for RWD, 14mm with the softest radial compound helps a lot. Otherwise, AWD definitely has a traction advantage, even when the floor isn't 100% clean.

      not really the only good one for indoor is the awd, in the stock form, the othere he had to tune and mix tires and so on....rwd in stock form will spin like crazyy not fun at all
