Customizing the AE86 $25 Micro RC Drift Car

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

After doing a little overview and review of 2 low cost micro RC cars in a previous video, I decided to customize one of the cars with some paint and custom 3D printed wheels. This ended up being a very fun little project and I'm pleased with the finished result. I may do some further customizing to this car, so let my know if you have any ideas below in the comments.

    I love the build but there are a few AE86 specific details you should probably add. Like the tail lights are redlines so paint the little section above the taillights red, also things like turn signals and coloring the grille in like the Zenki AE86 front bumper. Those little details would really make your car pop!

I had a nitro Traxxas I think the tmax but I didn't have much luck keeping it running. I'm interested in painting, it seems like it can be rewarding in the end.

    I'm buying one. Screw it. I love doing custom stuff and the AE86 is gonna happen soon. Or, I might cheat, buy a 1:24 scale model, and use its body! Lmao. Anyways, you my friend did an amazing job on those wheels and would love to get them. Only problem I can't afford a printer like that and would like to know if these a way to get them printed, and shipped? No paint, I definitely want to do that, but I don't know anyone with a printer like that. I'm from WVa, so I'm just blessed to have a nice phone. Which we still lack even 5g here still... Lol Thanks again for an amazing video and have a most excellent day!!✌️❤️❤️🖖

    I have questions re drifting. I would like to hear comments from everyone if you have experience and thoughts. I am trying to understand what primary elements are necessary to get an RC car to drift well. My suspicion is tires and traction are paramount, that is about all I would guess. But what about center of gravity, 2wd vs 4wd, steering throw speed and total throw? What I’m wanting to do is get a 2wd traxxas Slash to drift on low traction dirt. Just looking for insight, thanks for any thoughts.
