This is why, I've ordered LDRC Nissan Skyline 😂 Thank you for overview of this rc model. ❤ ** I've been looking for rc cars for about 5 months. Everything cheap, is a toy grade models. But, that LDRC looks like beginner hobby grade to me. Just like rc helicompers with collective pitch and plastic parts to upgrade. So... 😊 *** Dang! I'm 35 and buying myself an rc car. Sometimes I feel so dumb, but my wife is ok to hobby. I love her! She wants to drive it too 😂😂😂😂
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
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
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.
So far i liked this Kamtom drive the best out of the box from all the cheap (AWD) models i've drifted with so far. Eventough it doesnt allow the gyro gain to be adjusted, it doesn't extremely oversteer as others would. My servo died quickly though and it wasnt easy to find a working replacement. In the end i replaced the motor in the original servo.
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.
@@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.
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.
Hello, very nice little car, you peek my interest, I do love my wltoys k969, never thought this small rc cars could be this much fun. I was reading your bio but couldn't figure out where are you from, can you kill my curiosity? 😂 Thanks for the very informative videos you put out I allways look forward to your videos and many times I drink some inspiration for my own creations my friend. See you soon. Ricardo
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.
Thank you for the nice video clip. I am thinking about buying one soon. I wonder if the servo is good. Please check it out and let me know weather it works well or not. I hope I will see the next upgradig process go. Thaks again. Have a nice weekend! Seoul, Korea^^
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.

Need to figure out what size the bushings are to switch to bearings. To bad it didn't have open diffs
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
Good luck with the mods! 💪
Thanks man, I got a lot of work ahead of myself with all these cars lol
I have been looking at some 1/32 scale Plastic model kits ,they would be a lot lighter than the Diecast .

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

if you had to choose between the 1/32 and 1/43?

No problem man. I live in the US, Florida to be specific.
Nice review.
Could you put MiniZ parts on it, like shocks, rear locked diff and front one way?
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.

So is this the answer we were looking for on makeing the 143 jaibailes better lol? Cause it where i landed too.... lololol 🤣

wish I could have the cash to do the things u do

Yea they definitely copied a lot from the Mini-Z AWD drift version lol
I know right lol
awd "drift" needs to die off. its RWD or bust

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