I was literally having this convo at my LHS a couple weeks ago, dude said his bet was on AE to do it first. I think he was right, traxxas looks like they tossed this together overnight to counter the (far superior) AE chassis.
This'll be great for beginners wanting to join the fray, and brushed motor, lipo battery combo will give you enough power and oodles of run time. The only downside is you're anchored to a mid motor configuration, and the 60 degree steering angle. If its price competitively, its a great start.
At least for now, the MSRP is higher than yokomo and MST RTRs... Electronics wise there's not too much difference but those chassis are race proven fully upgradeable to high end specs. One thing to consider is that the traxxas car has a more refined driver-aid system that includes steering and throttle assistance, spinout active prevention and drag brake instead of just the gyro assisted steering used by everyone else
I asked my rep that. His response was then it would be more money to the customer. Yeah you can put one in it but there is more than enough power to slide around.
@@geoffneibert124 nope I just sell shit to make money. Nothing about certain brands. Give it 3-6 months axial will have one too, and it will be $30 cheaper then the Traxxas. It’s about getting people into it. Once in they can go down whatever path they like. You must forget what it’s like to be new and shop around.
I commented on a video by Roadside RC and I'll repeat it here: I can't wait for the aftermarket to put out some accessories to make this car even better. Great video Mark and I know you will dig more into this one!
I'm really glad you showed the actual steering angle. The inside tire is getting really close to 90° of steering just like a proper two-wheel drive drift car. So I think this more beginner friendly drift chassis is going to be able to get people in the door and carry them through at least for a while until they can get a more competition level car if that's the path that they choose
This was smart. They needed a drift car. Shouldve had the 2s system tho for sure. Then again im sure there are plenty of people who will appreciate the slower pace, simple batteries, scale track stuff, and the look. Looks good. Keep you spending for the people who want more power. I get it.
Probably a few parts I might snag to put on my 4WD version in time, but as a 2WD drift, they missed the mark again. 60 degree angle is barely enough to qualify as a drift car, however for some people this will be a better overall "driving" car if they want a more realistic 2WD feel. I feel like Traxxas pays attention, but just doesn't "listen" if you know what I mean. They knew they needed a proper drift car, but then did the wrong things to do it, It's the Mudboss all over again. Come on Traxxas, you can do better.
What did the modified do wrong. I've seen plenty of people say it's quickly becoming the biggest class an tracks. I think just limits the steering angle is the traxxas servo everything else seem pretty dang legit for 320.
4wd is better and more challenging....i'd grab tyres for my vette. while this body is cool. im not sure id bust a few hundos for it yet. mark isnt selling it very well. slacker.
Traxxas doesn't really make competitive models. More like entry RC cars. I think this is more of a beginner/General drift RC. Not something you would take to a competition. Same goes with their SCT's and some bashers.
Everyone seems to complain about the price considering it comes only with a brushed setup. The truth is you don't need that much power to drift a 2wd setup. In my opinion the biggest point that's being overlooked is that tweaked TSM this car comes with. Instead of your traditional gyro assisted steering, this thing also has throttle assistance, spinout active prevention and drag brake. I'm no pro drifter but I'm pretty sure you can drift decently even a Tamiya hornet with that level of drive-aids
We love rc drifting! much harder than it the skilled drifters make it look. Wonder how it would do at a drift track compared to the other RTR options. Hard core drift kits can get expensive quick.
why didn't traxxas use there old 20turn stinger motor they had back in the 90's since a lot of the old school traxxas people would know where the stinger motor came from
Oh well , I spent my RC money from income tax on the new model VXL Stampede and I am very happy with it even though You Tube channels have basically not paid much attention to it , this truck is almost indestructible , just need a fan on the motor due to the power
Your doing great its a little go and to worry matter of just relaxing and letting the car do the work without you knowing it and not for nothing Traxxas adivise you let the car alone and not adjust anything until you get used to it. Whats with the orders no one has gotten an rc yet
$320 for a ready to run with the Bluetooth module is a deal!! Look at all the competitors kits. Way more. This a perfect way to get kids and new people into the hobby. Want something else inside it then swap out the electronics. But doesn’t mean the platform is shit. What new RC have you released lately? I know I haven’t done any. Got to look at it from a wider field of view.
Correction drifting is all about the counter steer. Point the wheels where you want to go. Out to keep sliding out. Turn in to bring it in and around all while throttle control.
ASSociated is getting into the drift game as well, I'm trying to decide if i get the 4-tec that's had parts support for years and years or get the associated that will be a fosil in 5 years and I'll be buying A-arms off eBay for $75 🤔 decisions decisions
I would go with team associated dc10 it's a kit and it is carbon fiber parts aluminum parts different motor mount position, motor positions etc. nice looking car but starting out not to bad
The new cars Traxxas comes out with are all based on existing chassis one way or the the other name some of the 100% new technology or changes they’ve made.😂
@Casitascrawlers thats literally every manufacturer. Traxxas just makes it easier for the newbies. Regardless it's all about fun. As long as your having fun who cares lol
Rediculous....... 506.99 CAD for a brushed car that's essentially something they could have sold as a conversion kit for the 4 Tec 4wd for a few bucks more you can get a MST brushless rmx 2.5 and for 50.00 less you can get the brushed version from a company who knows what it takes to build a quality drift chassis
meanwhile MST made the 2.5 RTR even better and faster with 3S for $50 more. why the hell would anyone buy a traxxas drift car unless you are 15 years old
That's like saying a miata is not a drift car. There's no right or wrong car for drifting. You can absolutely learned the fundamentals with this car and move up if you choose.
@@thizzobishi I don't really have a problem with the car, It looks like a fun car and will probably bring some new people into the hobby. Of course, you can turn ANY car into a drift car by just swapping tires and a body. And, If you do want to move up, you'll need a totally different car, this will just NOT hang with a proper drift car and there is no way to upgrade it. That's really where my issue lies. I think the AE DC10 is a much better option, costs less and will be a more competent drift car!
As soon as i saw its literally a 4tec with front drivetrain removed and "increased" steering angle, i was out. There are literally kits to do this with a tamiya tt01/tt02, and probably perform better than this. Sorry but i would buy the AE drift car over this in a heartbeat.
Sorry hard pass for me bcoz team associated is coming soon with there own and like there’s way better setup. Even though there are other drift chassis’s that’s is no comparison with what they have for a serious drift comp. MST, team associated and now Traxxas are just a backyard drift. Oh those two settings(tsm drift n tsm) is gimmick
That thing looks wacker rhem my hpi e10 and 3times the price. Also its gonna ne hard to het a diffrent body with that clipless set up. Nonody wants a drift mustang i want a datsun or a rx7 come on
I'm at a much higher level then this so i think it's trash.......ok. this is going to be great for someone who wants to see if they like it. There was similar hate for the traxxas modified and now it's the biggest class at some tracks. Just because you drive 1500+ Cars doesn't m3an someone can have fun with less. An he's not even a good drifter self admitted. You cannot judge how good a car is with a rookie driver in it.
@@thizzobishi for the same price they're gonna ask for this, you can get a much better rtr. It's not even about what level I'm at. It's about what this is, vs what's out there for the same price point and this just doesn't stack up. All that butthurt for nothing. You wanna see if you like drifting, don't waste your time with this because this isn't gonna give you an accurate representation of what RC drifting really is. The gyro looks terrible, and chassis itself looks terrible for a drift car, the servo I'm sure is way slow for a drift car and again this is all compared to things that will probably land in the same price point unless this is maybe 200$ and even then you can't buy this, hate it, and be like "yep drifting is not for me" because it's a terrible drift car you might love drifting you just hate doing it with this car. MST sells a drift car with at least a legit gyro and a servo that can even move fast enough to get real angle for 300$. Yokomo sells a car around the same price. Do what you want with your money but don't blame drifting itself for not being enjoyable, it'll most definitely not be enjoyable because of the car. Lol.
@@thizzobishi it's lacking on angle, and the gyro is terrible. Those are things I can see with my eyes no matter how bad the driver is. But anyways, if anyone decides to buy this to try drifting, I recommend you try a real car out before you decide if drifting is for you or not.
@@cd-pu5uvFor crawling and bashing (but want to get into drifting), my small scale inexpensive bashers (but quality enough, like hbx, rlaarlo, arrma grom series, etc.) and mini crawlers...

Alot of people say the transmitter is important because if you get with with sbus capabilities you can fine tune the gyro gain on the fly which is really really nice. You can switch surfaces or even tweak it just a little if the track you go too is extra slick today because maybe they just sealed the surface etc. without having to stop the car and make a teeny tiny turn with a baby screwdriver to get the gyro tuned just right.

I was so excited and then I saw you run it. That is so slow. No way. I can drift around in my normal 4 tec vxl in a more fun way than that.

60$ more is the brushless mst rmx2.5 which would drift circles around this maybe a few versions from now it will be dialed in
