My 2wd Rc Drift basic Setup Hotbodies Cyclone Project

2 wd Rc Drifting basic setup for belt driven drifter or shaft driven drifter -

1. You need to remove the front cvd bone. If you have an extra universal axle that's all you need. Replace that front axle and mount it back.

You don't need to remove the front belt for belt driven cars or center shaft for shaft driven cars. We're only disconnecting the front axle at this point.

2. Adding weights on the front bumper will help the car to stabilize and rear weights is for traction. Too much rear traction it will not slide.

3. Lower your FDR final drive ratio for 2wd rc drifter plays a big role, it eliminates some overdrive snap back during transition.

This is not your CSR counter steer ratio. FDR is combination of your rear gear ratio, spur and pinion.

The best way to do this for rc 2wd drifters Beginners is to increase a tooth on the pinion, you don't want it too much because your motor will heat up quick. eg. I have pinion 24T now 25T.

4. 2wd Rc Drift Gyro helps too for newbies like me. Having a rc gyro makes rc 2wd drifting more realistic.

NOTE rc car gyro doesn't make 2wd drifting easy, you still need a TON of practice hours to get to your right setup.

You can get cheap 2wd Drift Gyro here

5. Suspension setup for 2wd rc drift, I kept my current 4wd CS drifter suspension setup which is medium spring front and soft rear.

This is an ongoing 2wd rc drift setup please share your setup at Rcdriftrevolution.com/forum

Mark the rc body where you want the roof rack legs
then cut a small line for the legs, you can use a dremel
to make cuttings easier



Insert the legs to test the height you want



Bend all the lexan into an L shape when you get the
right height and paint them with a black marker
also drill a hole for the mounting screw



Insert all the legs into the body and secure
them with double sided tape



For the bar you need to cut it from the plastic tree
make 2 of this

DIY Rc Pop Up Headlights

Here's my version of DIY Pop Up Headlights or Flip Headlights for more info go to RcDriftrevolution.com forum under DIY section.

Rc Flip Head Lights DIY step by step

Finally, I got myself motivated to make this DIY Flip Lights. I been ask several times to make another DIY flip lights this time I took some pictures

I will be using a recycled Onevia body, I got from my friend.

The DIY is really simple and it can be applied to any other bodies.


Part: One Assembly rod

Cut off an opening for the new buckets make sure its straight.

* for Trueno AE86 body follow the outline of the lid and save the Lids*






Insert the push rod into the antenna straw then bend the rod into V shape

Place the assembly rod inside the rc body for measurements

Once you have the right measurement bend the other end of the rod into V shape



Place the assembly rod inside the body and either use tape or hot glue to hold in place temporarily





Now glue hot glue or tape the Lid on the V shape rod



Check if everything is aligned



Do a manual flip test



Now you can permanently epoxy the antenna straw and the Lids






Part: Two Light buckets

Here's my version for light buckets, you need to make a triangle and for the width measure the opening in the body




Glue the bucket with the lid temporarily



Check for alignment and glue pemanently



Cut little cardboard triangles for the side of the buckets
I painted them with black markers and glue them on the sides of the buckets



Outline the front lens with a black marker



Important !
Add a piece of straw on the end of the assembly rod to prevent from moving





Part: Three Servo arm

You need a servo arm for the light bucket



Glue the arm on the side of the light bucket





You need a servo push rod for final piece bend the ends

Measure the length and where you want place the servo



Install one end of the push rod to the light bucket



Do the same on servo



Placed the servo on an angle where the wheels are free to move



Run the servo wire on the side where the receiver for easy access



Your Done!
