This is very useful for someone just coming into the hobby, thanks for making this video.
No problem thanks ... Watch the build videos and drifting tips... It really explains its not easy to do and takes time but is a lot of fun 👌
Just love these videos 📹. Still trying to decide which car to buy. Leaning toward XRX.
Wow, amazing cars.
Now i can start drift with rwd after this beautiful video . 💪🏽👍🏼💯
Yes 😂 👍🏽 thanks brother.
Honestly out of the 3, they are all ultimately really good cars. I reckon when all 3 are setup properly, they are as good as each other, as their max steering angle is almost identical.
I wouldn't personally compare how each car handles towards each other as I've learnt over time that pretty much with variable setups and different bodies, you can actually make all the cars handle the exact same(I actually managed to setup my modded DRZ V1 to handle the same as my GLD). What's more important is what sort of setup ability each offers for the price, how smooth the steering is, and the maximum steering lock they can achieve.
The most important is how much time you put into setting up the car.
I've seen people had issues drifting the GLD or the DRZ, but at the same time also see some guys pulling insane slides from both camps.
I got a friend who has an XRX but had a horrible tune on it that I had trouble drifting it, but from the steering mechanism and the build quality I knew it's definitely a really good option.
Objectively I think price wise the XRX and DRZ V2 are the better budget options, but really can't go wrong with any of these cars if you put some time into them.
I personally don't have issues with setting the ride height just by using the springs, as usually I feel with this scale, preloading the suspension actually doesn't really help handling.
Hopefully in the 2nd batch onwards the GLD would have less QA issues, as it seems like you and Beaver had trouble with the ball links as well as some people on Facebook.
For the GLD I had no issues with the chassis except the gears(which I got a free replacement for) and sadly a faulty servo(also replaced).
Agree with everything you said. Have to remember xrx has been perfected as has been around longer. Other 2 are the first batch. I tried to be fair....as all were comparable. Set up takes a lot of time to perfect.
Great 👍👍👍👍👍
XRX seems real nice very interested in it after the slow mo stuff. given how easy it is to put together i think i may swap my recommendation for people wanting a drift chassis
it had a robust quality to it ,simple to set up.
Very informative video, great work man.
Totally agree that xrx is the overall superior car as far as design and performance.
thanks ;)
Brilliant video and informative as always mate . Love the way that xrx handles but an massive shame for the atomic . Just goes to show more bling out of the box doesn't mean its better . Keep up the good work
The atomic was not bad... Xrx just proved easier to use off the bat.
Great video & very valuable information! Thank you for putting this together, it’s great to see them all side by side. I had no idea the XRX is a wide front end standard, good to know.
Does your DRZ2 have functioning steering limiters? The ones that came with mine are about 1mm too short & Kim Kim advised that the first batch went out with the wrong length limiters...
Ok I will double check. I think its a tightness in the steering ball ends, I was carefull in not tying to loosen them after I tried to adjust one after watching the video demo and nearly destroyed it 😂. My kung fu grip... Not designed for mini rc.
Because of you I’ve got the NB4 and the XRX coming not bad at all. It’s worth the black eyes from the wife 😜🤤✊💯👌 love your videos
Just waiting on post 🤤😁
Take time on build. It's all inset up.
Soooo many chassis but I have so little attention span 🤣 you cover a lot of ground in this video!
You got real skills if you can drive a RWD one.
Took a while … i test mine Rwds on a large track … I don’t rate them until I see how they handle on a track
What’s the all time best RWD drift car, in your opinion?
Very thorough comparison. Thank you very much. I think you can't go wrong with any of these, it's just the personal preference which driving style you prefer.
By the way have you got any problem with the XRX's diff? I've heard the drive cups are quite fragile and ball diff wear out rather quickly.
Thanks Mr B. Rear diff was locked. Unless I've got a faulty one. Lol. I haven't opened the gearbox yet. I've done most mileage in the xrx and so far ok. I am going to run on RCP which usually brings out faults a lot quicker. I've been stuck for time and really could have down a 3 hour video and taken it apart.
@@GarageMiniRCUK From the manual it looks like ball diff so you might be able to tinker with it.
Can't wait for RCP test. It's a great way to wear the car down quickly.
Goes to show... Good reason to build a Car yourself...😂
@@GarageMiniRCUK Indeed. It just occurred to me on 2nd viewing that your XRX didn't comes with the A11CLS servo but the wheels don't shake. DRZ V2 has practically the same servo but it's spazzing out. That's interesting. I thought the gyro shake comes form the standard metal gear servo and would happen to any car with the similar one. Atomic gyro itself is really good so I don't think it'd come from that.
The next batch of xrx will come with the new generation of gyro. I think the suspension may have been jamming up and causing the gyro to misbehave on the drzv2 by sending vibration . It's an odd one as the car drifted pretty well on the short circuit.only other thing was the other cars had wide rear wheels.
since the wheel base is 98 mm where can I find a body for the that wheel base i’m new to all of this and trying to upgrade my k989
The max steering angle on the XRX is a bit insane. Which controller did you use for it? Great review and answered some questions I had. = )
Thanks... It was the flysky nb4.
Man; this was a great comparison! Thanks! I have a MiniZ AWD and will likely get this XRX unless you can suggest something better?
Depends on what you want it for. If it's for more 1/24 scale and don't mind magnetic mounts the drift art 2 is very good(not easiest with mini z bodies) . I find it a bit slow and I still love my xrx.
@@GarageMiniRCUK Thanks for the reply. I prefer the smallest car possible. I wish there were even smaller scale drifters. Just subbed and will go over your videos.
On the drz2, it seems you have your gyro to high, that will cause wheel wobble. I’m sure you know that now lol. I run a fully built gld, and a drz2 le, comparing the 2, my DRZ2LE slides much better then my gld, out of the box. The gld really would benefit with steering stoppers, I tune off the stopper max lock angle. I think they fixed the binding issues on the drz2 with the longer DRZ2LE front upper and lower arms, and the right spacers I’ve had no issues out of the box, I can see it’s still close but doesn’t hit. Anyway good video!
Hi, I fixed my drzv2 by using spacers on the bulkhead. Just haven't got round to making a video. The gyro was faulty, I replaced with a v3 gyro. No issues now. Although diff is not great. My gld I replaced all he arms with alloy and alloy bulkhead. Also made my own steering stops. Handles really well now. 👍🏽😁
@@GarageMiniRCUK ahhhh genius, With the Gld! I’ve been trying to think of a way to make my own, I thought about flipping the ball studs over, and using the xrx ones. Though I don’t know if the threading is the same. I really want my gld to slide good. Even after upgrading everything besides the rear gear case and diff, the front still feels a lil flimsy. Currently is chilling with no electronics besides the servo on my desk lol. I’m glad you fixed the drz2 it’s really a decent chassis. I had got the gld first, I’m newish to 1/27 rwd, been doing 1/10rwd for the last 6-7 years, before that it was all 4wd for me lol. When I saw that mini rwd drift cars existed about a year ago, I freaked out, it was when the drz1 and hld were really the only 2. My buddies talked me out of it back then. It never left my mind I knew I wanted to get into 1/27. Finally a year later, I’m sliding happily lol. I was really shocked on how easy it was to slide the DRZ2LE felt like my 1/10 extremely built yokomo/Kamikaze yd2s, just mini lol. Now I want a drift art 2.5 just to try out. Super G sells a already built one it’s just not cheap. I’d do the kit version but the already built one comes with a afrc servo installed. I’m using on my DRZ2LE a 3500kv sensored gl racing motor, there sensored esc, afrc servo the purple one, a afrc v3 gyro, which all v3 I’ve learned are the same lol. I have a atomic v3 gyro sitting around, and they look identical, which they sure are. If you really want to laugh I put a afrc v3 gyro in my yd2 just for fun, I still have it on there because it functions so well. Plus I get funny looks, when the see the size of the gyro lmao. Anyway thanks for getting back to me. I enjoyed your video and a few others I watched of yours. Much love!
Latest video for you dude. Gld steering stops.
Hello again, what do you recommend me to buy brushless kV for GLD drift setup, HRC mini arena recommended me to by the DXR7000Kv, I am still a beginner and still learning how to drift, I guessing that I need better bottom end (torque), I would like your suggestion, thanks in advance.
3500kv if begginer although can use 7000kv turn or down exp on throttle
@@GarageMiniRCUK thanks 😊
So I have a question I'm totally new to micro drift rcs but how does the xrx handle with it's sensorless motor? I always thought you needed a sensored motor/esc to prevent claggering at low speeds? Does that not apply to the micro scale?
I've used both. The sensored set up is smoother but not essential. Normal brushless works fine. The esc is very good.
Good to know man thanks alot for the info I might be back with a couple more questions on different videos. You're really the best informat I've found on the internet pertaining to these specifically. Such a life saver. I live on the middle of nowhere so I really wanna build a micro track in my house and kickstart the scene here
I just ordered a GLD. Are there any upgraded parts that I should order right from the beginning? Also if I wanted to change the wheelbase is that just a matter of buying the brass chassis? I’m debating on shortening the wheelbase to 90mm and running a 911 body. Would a shorter wheelbase be easier or harder to operate. I have quite a few mini Z’s and GL racing cars but this will be my first drift car.
I've found the 90mm easier. Motor is more centred in the mass. Adjustalbe chasiss can be carbon or brass. I would get alloy bulkhead and alloy knuckles and hub front and rear. Spare plastic ball heads. Castor adjsutment alloy. I found adjustalbe shocks useful. Be careful when setting up ball ends. Make sure aligned both sides.
I am doing a video eventually on this.
Thank you. Btw I love your videos!
@@stevenbyrd71 thanks bro
Dude where do you guys get these cars? I have been looking for a mini Z and can't find one anywhere. I want to get into drifting but with a small car like this.
I have some on my site www.garagerc.net
If can't find email me off site
I’m brand new to the rc scene but I really want to get an xrx to start my journey. What do I need to build one. I’ve looked and I get confused.
Chassis with motor /esc/servo
Body
Wheels and drift tyres
Transmitter and reciever
LiPO battery 🔋
I’ve got another question for you. How would a Gld do for drifting on a rcp track? What would be the best ds tire for rcp or is there a better tire choice?
instagram.com/p/CHS5vPgA2qO/?igshid=h8ougnng9g9x. My xrx dpa on RCP with LF5 also see drzv1 mini z, drift tyres on Rcp ua-cam.com/video/qL2lp78VNYQ/v-deo.html
They work great!
Thank you. That’s great I have a set of LF5 in the mail so that’s great!
One more question. Did you change the degree block on the rear of your GLD or is the stock one fine?
Standard so far
Did you address the drz gyro issue?I'm getting the same behavior from mine
Hi, I haven't had chance, it's on my list of things to do... I was going to try a v3 gyro and see how that goes. I'm still fixing my gld aswell. Everyone has been requesting xrx videos.... Its nice to have a fresh challenge... 😂 I'll have play owth this weekemd and post a reply in here my freind. Thanks for watching.
Nice Video.
Did the GLD need the awd ore rwd wheels? Can i shim the front suspension, the wheels have a lot of play?
What esc, gyro, motor and receiver are you using for the gld?
I want to use the glracing elektronics.
Awd wheels all round for GLD. Esc are gl racing brushless, the motor is 8600 kv (need to turn power down on if new to rwd) I used sanwa Mts radio and micro gl racing sanwa rx.
Didn't use shims seemed OK
@@GarageMiniRCUK thx.
Great comparison. What tyres are you using on that polished floor?
Thanks. 👍🏽. Lf 5 ds racing drift tyres on the xrx. Drz comes with its own.
Cool, thanks! Thats what I have, think I maybe just need to set it up better, as my floor doesn't look as shiny as yours. Tempted with that XRX now, but haven't finished building DRZ-2 or GLD yet!
@@brammers247 Drifitng mini-z's has been the best excuse for cleaning the floors at my place
What gyro gain are you using on all of them? I have a drz v2 and I cant go above 40% as it starts shuddering badly if I go above 40%..
Dpends on surface . Smoother surfaces less gyro . On granite I can go low as 30 percent . On grippy smooth the same .on any rough surface like a textured floor then I get vibration and shake . Unless suspension very soft. .
So 40 is totally normal? Thank you for your reply! You are awesome :)
Thanks bud . 40 is fine . Depending on situation I might go upto 55 say of I’m lazy wide track fast drifting . Smaller tight track might go 40
Still holding out hope Tamiya will get involved.
Yes that would be great
My drzv1 has that same issue when one of the wheels lifts during a drift. How do I fix that? Its really bugging me.
Check end points of suspension against steering arms. It might be that the arm is catching at full lock and lifting wheel. Also check ride adjsutmst at rear.
@@GarageMiniRCUK should I raise the rear higher so that it will lower the front down more? Also thanks for these quick replies
where can i buy these with all parts included, motor too? i can only find em without the motor
Email me at admin@garagerc.co.uk
I just know this video yesterday. I have a GLD and i kind of hard to get it right setup. Can you give me how you setup your gld front steering ?
It's hard one to set up. I had to use a 98mm body and set up. Ii am goign to male a video, mo farah does a great video. Il l try and find link foryou.
@@GarageMiniRCUK ok thanks. I just want to know how your front setting. My setting is mess up. Because when i press the front, the wheel make a lot of camber gain. And a lot of bumpsteer
Hi I'll try and do a mini video. 👍🏽
is there such a thing as a rtr rwd in 1/24 drift ?
I've done a few for customers. It's a lot of work. 😂
Long...but nice Video!
Where to buy the XRX? Are there different Version? Or only this one?
Check link in description for UK and Europe I have supply. I'll get the rest of world link up.
There are other versions with different amount of kit available
Argh.🙈 Sure. In the description. Nice Shop! Think next year i need one XRX! :)
where did you get these batterys?
I sell some but atomic / miracle mart probably quicker
what battery and battery charger would you recommend for the XRX? I've been thinking of purchasing the kit but not sure where to find a battery or a charger that will fit properly
I have them in stock. USB charger. Charges in 30 mins approx. I use the gl racing 330mah packs they are flat and drop in at a nice angle to stay put and give a good runtime and nice spread of weight.
Do you offer assembling service for your customers?
I am interested in XRX DPA with a 90mm body, esc, 6k brushless motor, wheels&rim and 2cell batteries so that it only needs body and transmitter.
Yes, I've been doing a custom service. Email me at Admin@garagerc.co.uk. Do you know which 90mm body you want?
If you could only choose one which one over all?
This is not easy. I prefer the handling and set up of the xrx dpa. Some of things in its set up annoy me and some of the plastics are cheap. (my car is all alloy) . But overall I found it to be easiest to do what I want with. My friend Chris loves his GLD but only after I tuned it for him. Another mate Linus loves his drift art. Here are the reasons I love it compared to other cars.
Easiest to fit mini z body or magnetic mounts too.
I like the gearing. I like the layout in single deck from.
My new fave is the DWX3. But I still prefer xrx for mini z bodies. The ht1 if it had alloy options is good but I don't like the gearbox. Drift art 2 is good. Too. Mini
Z bodies difficult with front set up. Hoeo this helps
Hi mate, I did send one. Try going on my website and see if you can send me an email that way. Www.garagerc.net
Is there any way to get the XRX without using facebook?
Www.garagerc.net
How does HGD1 look comparing these 3 chassis?
These are all better than hgd1.
@@GarageMiniRCUK how does the drz2 compare to the atomic drz1 :0 bc I settled with a drz1 over a 2 over a 30$ diff.
Drzv2 has been improved now. You can have so much fun with v1 if you get set up correct.
@@GarageMiniRCUK ah thank you so much.
hi
I wish there was there was cheaper option to try out the smaller rwd drifting
I know. Its expensive, I think it's almost cheaper to go 1/10
@@GarageMiniRCUK yeah that I have, although my space is limited with using the 1/10 drift cars I have. Hopefully some company will make a very affordable mini rwd drift car
Smaller parts are harder to make 😭hopefully one day
Hello, try wltoys k989/k969
Its cheaper and realy good in quality. And you can make it rwd. Greetings from Germany ;)
Yes I've had a go at rwd wl toys it's fun to try... Difficult to get perfect. 😂
They Look nice but drift Cars i can't stand them.so sorry
I was the same... then I went to the dark side..... 😂 What mini rc do you like my friend?
