Take a look at TG Racing. It'll be around $180. With wheels, tyres and body it should come in around $220 depending on the body you choose. The electronics, if you go with the budget but good set is around $65 for BYRC Hobbywing 18A combo ($25), AGFRC B05CLS servo ($10) and Dasmikro gyro ($30). You can swap the B05CLS servo with A11CLS and you'll have much better steering precision but it's $60. If you don't have a transmitter yet, Flysky G7P is a great choice. Otherwise if you want to keep the budget low, DumboRC DDF 350 will do fine. Battery: GNB 2S 350mAh is about $10 a piece. Charger, this one depends on your local store but take a look at SkyRC S65AC. I use ISDT 608PD for a pocket charger (and it uses my phone adapter for power supply).
@@BeaversHobby I was wondering how the 1/28 wltoys platform would do as a buggy. My first thought when I saw the car was that the larger wheels would make the gears break faster.
@@JoshuaIsCringe The gears are now more durable but yes, the whole car will wear out faster with bigger wheels. I used to have the P929 which is a predecessor of the new buggy. It worked decently well on bumpy surface that the small wheels can't negotiate. But because of the small suspension travel it doesn't jump well. Well, the part where it goes up is fine. The landing is not.
I had noticed the the three-wire JST PH plug for the battery, but I also noticed the positive leads appeared to be soldered into the same post at the ESC end of the wire? Does that still allow the ESC to sample the cells individually?
to answer my own question...I can't get the case open, but peering closer it seems like it could be wired to different posts, and it obviously shows individual cell voltages, so I am probably wrong in my suspicions.
BMR-X is the best value as of now. TG Racing is also good. Find these 2 and see which one you can get the cheapest. Just look at the chassis and wheels (they use different wheels). All the rest will be the same, same motor, ESC, gyro, battery and transmitter.
A bit better. I mean momentum is already close to sensored system in terms of smoothness. This one is a bit more responsive and the throttle control is a bit more precise. There are other features like light controller and rev limiter that set this ESC apart from Momentum and the others though.
Thank you beaver. Just what I needed to set mine up 😊
That a sick looking brushless motor with led light 😀🔥
That's badass!
you forgot to review the thing that makes it really special.... the revlimiter... this makes the car sound so nice and adds scale realism to it...
Thanks. It sounds really weird so I ended up didn't proceed with using it.
Im looking for a quality mini drift car for indoor use. Something that will last. Nice to work on. Not too expensive. Thanks so much

Very interesting
Beaver, will you do a review on the Wltoys 1/28 buggy?
I don't know if I'll get it though.
It's the same chassis with different CVD and wheels. That's pretty much it.

@@cobPhoto The wires go into separate terminals.
What’s the best cheap drift rc hobby grade easy upgrade fast rtr 1/24 ish

how does it compare to Furitek momentum?
A bit better. I mean momentum is already close to sensored system in terms of smoothness. This one is a bit more responsive and the throttle control is a bit more precise.
