Well not much of a build as it’s nearing completion (but are they ever really complete?), but figured it’s finally time to make a thread for this car.
Anyways as you may know I am working on a m chassis yd2, were this car was initially going to be the donor for. But once getting it done there was next to no room for the esc, rx and gyro which meant going with the sx2 version was basically pointless. So then I figured why not build the car!
So it started life as a stock yd2 sx2 in black. As I was building the car with no electronics I started to want to build it right the first time and get good electronics for it, I mean it’s already mostly carbon and aluminum to begin with.
So the first electronics I picked up were an airtronics rx (sitting around), then for the servo I knew i wanted as fast as possible but still have some torque so I went with the protek 160ss servo with a yokomo servo horn. Here’s were things start to escalate fast! I was looking up on different gyros until I came across the yokomo v4, with its adjustable gain through the transmitter. Right then I knew this was the gyro I wanted! For motor and esc I was on super g looking to see what they had, first I decided on a tekin rsx pro (WAY overpowered but easily programmed with the Hotwire Bluetooth). Then for motor I went with the muchmore racing fleta zx v2 10.5t drift motor.
So far it’s also got the yokomo side aero and rear diffuser along with WUN upper and lower front arms. Also it has ds racing wheels with mst cs-r tires. The esc is also mounted on the diffuser.
For the body I initially I was going to run the Pandora bn sport rx7 body but I really screwed up the paint (oops) so that went out the window. The next choice was my favorite by far, the aplastic bmw m2! With this being a drift car, I also picked up a set of gorilla magnet body posts and an interior roll cage to try and use, also mytrickrc light kit!
Chassis pics to come soon once the wiring is finished and wheel offset finalized.
