Ive always been into JDM stuff. I am older than probably most of your viewers and you name it I love it from Initial D, to my fixed up Hondas I Have. Not the norm for someone almost 50 I really like your videos and want to build a small drift car. Don't want to jump into the expensive Mini Z game until I find out I like it. What is the best in your opinion starter car? The WL toys K989, one of these in this video? By best I mean easiest to work on, easy to get replacement parts etc. I am in the US if that helps with answering my questions. Thank you in advance.
For under $130 you really can't do better than K989. Unless you already have a radio, battery and charger I'd recommend Atomic AMZ. So you can start with K989 fix it and keep it running while saving up for AMZ. All the parts from these car are mostly from China so it'd be pretty hard to find spares in the US. AMZ is a popular race car so that might be an exception and you can probably find the parts in some mini race track.
I was only just able to find LF-3 for my MR-03 Mini-Z and DRZ....It was like trying to find gold dust. I imagine trying to get LF-4 is like searching for a unicorn!
Hi Beaver, love the channel you have some great content! I have a question. I just ordered a MA-020s and I want these tires to be my first upgrade but I don’t understand rims. What size rims should I order to fit these drift tires? I will be using the skyline R33 body and Nissan Silvia body if that makes a difference for the rims fitting. I will be drifting on carpet so I think some good hard tired will help, but I have another question regarding gear rations. Should I go with the lowest gear ratio so I have more power on the carpet? I don’t understand gear rations so any advise is appreciated! Thanks Beaver!
R33 body uses 1.5mm offset narrow wheel on all corners But these DS tyres are narrow at the front and wide at the rear. So I suggest using 1 or 1.5mm offset narrow at the front and 0mm offset wide at the rear. S15 uses 1mm offset narrow wheels on all corners and 90mm wheelbase so you'll have to disassemble the car to change the wheelbase first. All in all, get 1mm offset narrow wheels for the front and 0mm offset wheels for the rear. You might have to shave rear wheel arches off to clear the tyres though. Next is gear ratio, to get maximum torque you need the pinion (gear on the motor) to be smallest and the spur (gear on centre shaft) to be largest. So I suggest 15T pinion and 31T spur. I'm not sure if you got reduction gear with the car but the part MD006 will have all the things you need.
@@BeaversHobby Hi Beaver, thanks for the reply! I will link the MA020s I bought, as well as the auto scale I want. i think they will both be 90mm so i do not think i will need to adjust the wheel base, correct?

@@BMR3 Unfortunately they have different wheelbase and wheel offset. The R33 GTR is 94mm with 1.5mm offset wheels but S13 Silvia is 90mm with 0mm offset wheels (it's 3mm narrower than GTR) so you'll need to change the wheelbase. kyosho.com/mini-z-info/support/body-specifications/ The S13 comes with wheels though but they are all narrow so you'll have to get 0 offset wide wheels to fit DS racing rear tyres. For the front, get 0mm offset narrow wheels for S13 Silvia or 1.5mm offset for GTR if you want them to match the rear. Otherwise, use the wheels that come with the body. You have to choose which body you will commit to because these DS tyres are not coming off easily. So you either get 2 sets of wheels for each body or choose one. The charger consumes 1A so it's not going to work from computer unless you have a port that output 1A. Normally USB port outputs 0.5A. Anyway, you can use a smartphone charger with it. If you have Ikea near you, check their charger. It should be roughly the same price as this one but you plug it in to standard outlet.
Beaver's Hobby thank you so much for the info!! You have been extremely helpful and are saving me a lot of headache since I thought all ma-020 bodies will be 90mm!

Thank you very much for the link to that chart, I will have to reference that when choosing an alternative body.

Which 1:24 chassis you are using? If it's 1/28-1/24 like HGD1 then you can still use Mini-Z wheels and it'll still look well scaled. Or you can find 22mm diameter wheels on Aliexpress too. If it's WLtoys A252 1/24 then there are only stock wheels that fit.
Hi, i have a k969 , what tires should i buy ?? :) My car is stock i just have change the posision of the steering shaft. Do you get more grip of ds racing lf4 that the original stock parts of my car?
LF4 has less grip but the grip is more consistent so it's easier to control. Choose LF4 if you want to do slow drifting. In case you want to go (relatively) fast to drift, get the LF1 or Mini-Z drift tyres. Grip is around the same level on both but DS has better control.
MDT is about the same speed as LF-1 but it's a bit slower to response. After a lot of run-in you can get similar result with Kyosho tyres with LF-1 being a tiny bit sharper.
@@BeaversHobby Hello there. I'm about to buying two sets of mini drift tires. Just can't decide which one is the best deal: cheap k969 stock drift tires, DS Racing LF-1 sets with twice price of k969's, or a custom set from local hobyist with 75% price of LF-1. Is k969 stock tires good enough?
@@ivakanoffsnyder4501 K969 Tyres are not so good. They are OK if you want to trash around on rough concrete but for proper controlled drift, no, they're not good. I think you should try custom made tyres first. Then maybe Kyosho tyres if you can find them. They are pretty cheap and after run-in they are as good as LF-1.
I hear some vibration front tire sound on drz. What your gyro gain value? Mine has little the same problem.. My drz gyro is shaking if the value over 65.. Is that normal or not?
With the LF-4 I use standard Mini-Z rims 1.5mm offset front and 1mm offset rear. You can find them in Kyosho Mini-Z dealer near you. For the other tyres I use RC-Aurora 1mm offset both front and rear. ppm-rcracing.com/categories/RC%252dAurora-racing/Rims/ With DRZ and RWD I generally use lowest offset so the turning point is not swing out too much and to adjust it to fit the body too. I recommend around 0-2mm offset. With Q7, dial in some camber and 0 offset will rub against suspension arm so starting 1-2 offset is good. Generally, just use 1 or 1.5.
Hey beaver, I've got a question about drifting with mini z awd sports. Which mods would you do? Front one way, rear solid, rear zero degree, cs upgrade. Which other mods to do? Another motor? Thanks
Front one way and rear solid for a start. Then you can try soft front spring and rear hard spring, weight down the front and also front toe out variant from 1-3 degrees. As for rear toe 0-1 degree is good. CS is not entirely necessary as long as you satisfy with how the car going in to slide or how you don't have to hold counter steer. As for the motor Change it to Xspeed V will give you a bit more kick to keep holding 50:50 drift.
@@alexk.8294 Yes, put some weight on top of bulkhead or front lip where you attach the body to help with front traction and make the car turn in quicker. What I use is a weight for my gaming mouse 4.5-10g and stick it down with glue or double sided tape, coins work too. A bit of experiment is needed to make it suit your driving style.
Just can't get the kit you get in the uk , however may I ask my steering on the k989 lock isn't to impressive any ideas what I can do please , I've tried to buy from bang good but it never arrives !
You can try extending the servo horn. And maybe do some mod with small ball links for helicopter. I think you can find 3.5-4mm ball links and turnbuckle from your local hobby shop.
@@stephen4600 Yes, I missed it because I only knew it after Radioshack went out of business. I don't know what parts are interchangeable with Mini-Z but the body looks very cool especially one with body kit.
Beaver's Hobby I got a full kit Subaru Impreza in the carrying case and three spare motors of different powers a result . Thank you for your kindness sir . Stephen@SMS
These are standard Mini-Z wheels. Front: bit.ly/2WSecRf Rear: bit.ly/2znzs3K You can also order the tyres with all narrow so you'll use 2 sets of front wheels.
The car is not really suitable for running on street because ground clearance isn't that much. You can use WLtoys P929 (monster truck) wheels and tyres but I don't know how it will turn out. The other tyres I suggest for the job are that you find some bicycle grip whether foam or rubber then cut it to size. That way you'll get more ground clearance than any tyres on the market.

Just can't get the kit you get in the uk , however may I ask my steering on the k989 lock isn't to impressive any ideas what I can do please , I've tried to buy from bang good but it never arrives !
You can try extending the servo horn. And maybe do some mod with small ball links for helicopter. I think you can find 3.5-4mm ball links and turnbuckle from your local hobby shop.
Beaver's Hobby , have you ever heard of xmods I got one on ebay looks very much like a mini z ?
@@stephen4600 Yes, I missed it because I only knew it after Radioshack went out of business. I don't know what parts are interchangeable with Mini-Z but the body looks very cool especially one with body kit.
Beaver's Hobby I got a full kit Subaru Impreza in the carrying case and three spare motors of different powers a result . Thank you for your kindness sir . Stephen@SMS
What rims are you using with the lf4
I am thinking of purchasing some of them for my wltoys k989
These are standard Mini-Z wheels.
Front: bit.ly/2WSecRf
Rear: bit.ly/2znzs3K
You can also order the tyres with all narrow so you'll use 2 sets of front wheels.
hello host i got 1/28 atomic bz i want play on street i need some sugguest for tire can you precent some for me?
The car is not really suitable for running on street because ground clearance isn't that much. You can use WLtoys P929 (monster truck) wheels and tyres but I don't know how it will turn out.
The other tyres I suggest for the job are that you find some bicycle grip whether foam or rubber then cut it to size. That way you'll get more ground clearance than any tyres on the market.
I dont use Facebook...🤔
