z3_2drive Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) I am proud to present my newest MOC, a medium sized remote control drift car that I call the 'Red Devil' Features: Rear wheel drive via fast output of one buggy motor, steering via servo, powered by one 10 volt battery, and for the first time, a complete body using flex axles, and for a first time, it looks fantastic! Originally a chassis similar to rm8's Black Mamba with a RWD/4WD selector, it turned into something completely different, something I can call my own Pictures: ^taken before I decided to add a roof ^comfortable seat made from rubber pieces! ^ a nylon washer keeps the differential from slipping ^these wheels have a perfect rubber compound, somewhere between hard rubber and foam, which offer grip when needed but perfect for holding drifts I got them and the figure when buying the 8840 Rally Shock n' Roll Racer. ^An action shot Video coming soon hopefully, ENJOY!

z3_2drive Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 Thanks for the compliments I hope to have a video up by tomorrow evening Quote
piterx Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 That's wicked man :D! looking forward for video :) Quote
DLuders Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I like the curved roof made out of Lego Technic Liftarms -- it reminds me of efferman's MOCs where he used Liftarms to form curved wheel fenders. Quote
Rishab N Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Wow this looks epic. Im guessing its gonna go pretty fast Quote
timslegos Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I cant wait to see the speed of this beast! I have those tires too, maybe I should try a drifting vehicle. tim Quote
Doc_Brown Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 haha, I was going to say looks like an Audi TT but VFracingteam beat me to it! :D Great model, I like the curves very much and the steering solution too. Nice touch with the seat, and how do you find that washer in the diff? I find mine invaluable!!! Sweet job :thumbup: Quote
z3_2drive Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Here's a video with crappy quality it's been cloudy and raining outside for the past week and no real good chance to get a bright video, but I had to film something before my two week vacation starting tomorrow, so hopefully when I get back I will make a better video, this one was dark and had quite some issues, and the sound cut out And in the video I had only some small drifts because I had to keep it in the correct field of view. With a lot of room and no cameras to worry about, a good drift can go 6-10 ft depending on how good you are at holding the drift and knowing when to counter-steer. Drifting also depends on what surface you are on, the smooth tile surface was slippery and made the car swing out more, and it's better for donuts while the wood flooring is good for holding a long drift and just normal driving.

Doc_Brown Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 What an awesome video! Those tires are fantastic! Great job on the car and making it drift. :thumbup: I was gunna say, did the sound cut out. Oh well these things happen. Quote
jg711 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 It really is a good car. it drifts very well with the old tires. I am gonna buy some old 20X30 tires for my 1:11 scale moc; Very very nice build!! You can see its based on the black mamba because of the rear differential. But my moc was also based on the black mamba and i modified it completely. Quote
