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.

Upgrade to proposal.pless😅
Damn that turned out nice! Maybe add a tail pipe but personally I love how clean it looks as is.
Your wheel design is as mesmerizing as always
Hell yes, it looks so bad ass man! I definitely think you should paint the Ferrari as well.
I love these vids. And all of your projects. U should also try and swap out the electronics. And put some hobby grade stuff in
Fantastic job as always
Epic! You did a great job!
Love the color, good work 👍
Really looks awesome Great effort and superb video
Beautifully done!
I think it looks great 👍. A bike rack with a bike and a tail pipe awesome. I love your great work 👍
Stance looks awesome. I'd definitely setup a 1/1 like this
That looks so good!
Definitely an improvement from base form. Only thing i would add besides exhaust would be scaled down decals of performance parts
Very good job Love the look you created
Dude so sick!!!
I love the new look, and HEY, rubbin is racing!
Thank you for sharing this video 😊👌
Loving the Synthwave music. You have good taste.
I like how it measures from wheel center to wheel center, from front to back, thanks
YESSS a roof rack would look SICK!
Damn fine work.
Those wheels are sick
This is dope af !!!
Great work! 👍
Job well done sir 👍🏻
Looks great
Good job. Nice one!
IT LOOKS SO FRESH
Nice car! 🔥🔝
Bruh that’s sick
YOU MADE A MASTERPIECE HOLY Y🥺😍😍😍
Those rims look clean asf
Amazing
The wheels are actually very good i like them
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!
Holy shyte..that lil thing is ridiculous..that was a clutch move with color scheme for the wheels.and those wheels..good work as usual...
U killed that project
Good job
Good stuff
It looks amazing bro 9
You make it sound so easy like the Bob Ross of RC cosmetics
Look's Sick
so good
Definitely put more than 25$ worth of work into it nice work
Those wheels are 🥰😍😋🤩
I got one of these fun lil cars. A good upgrade wich makes it nice and peppy, i put a 7.4 volt battery. Doubles speed and no problems!
I was thinking to buy one of these mini rc cars, but now you got me hooked! I will probably buy the same car and make it like the AE86 from Initial D

I can’t find it can you send the link
Nice build! I think you should do something with Ferrari as well. Also painting the bumper in black + 6 /8 spoke wheels would be looking much better for ae86.
Brother you the rc car perfect! :D
I'd definitely be interested in seeing some added details. Maybe an opening hood or deleted hood with engine details...
Love it
GreT vid! New subscriber!
Looks alot better than stock
Bro who ever calls that rice is dumb that's so clean 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I would love to see you do a custom WLToys K969 project with a custom body etc, that'd be super cool !
Ae86 is my favorite car
This is the first vid I've seen of yours but I am about to check out more. I have been wanting to get regular plastic models but I bought an sg 1603 rtr and I am going to mess with it. 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.

Welcome!
Super cool video. You should make a 3D printed spoiler
I like this
Wow it Looks realy good good Paintjob i Like it i have the Same modelcar and Made it to the Tofu Corolla Initial d
Got one today and I think I'm going to do the same and have it towed behind the scx24 c10.
does look great! agree with you about appearance overall and scale criticism stuff both, its minor and nit picky stuff anyway.
Damn it looks a lot better with wheels. I have the same rc, but got no access to 3d printer
That’s not rice at all! Very clean and simple.
fire wheels idc what anyone says!
Nice mods!! You should mod the Ferrari to look like a clapped out drift missile with different colored panels and dents!! :D

That would be interesting. 👍
I have the first one they r so fun
I got this rc car a while back and I'm going to paint it like the initial d ae86, I want to upgrade all of the internals too but it's going to be expensive
Where did you buy this car? Love how it turned out
What printing method did you use? Resin or filament based printing? I was looking for those kind of results.
Looks great, much better than original. Sadly in my country there is only GT-R model for sale with terrible painting and I would never be able to paint it as good (not to mention 3d print). :)

Hello I have found a site who ships worldwide ^_^
The wheel design looks sick. I’m really bummed I don’t ha e a 3D printer
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!!✌️❤️❤️🖖
How is the wheelbase on these? Close to accurate 1/24? Would love to give them a try and swap bodies with models if possible
nice planning on doing this,but i think i will add a wing so it will look good

There’s another on Amazon for 10 bucks more with working exhaust that has a wing just to put it out there
Like amico 👌🏾
I bought one just to see what I could do and I used model car kit wheels and tires which worked amazing and looked better I had some model car tires that was kinda more slick and harder then the more realistic softer rubber model car tires for drifting of course and it worked like a dread and looked good I put a false floor in it cut out all the windows and put some clear plastic in for windshield and I took a dash and some seat backs from model car kits part boxes and it turned out awesome just wish it could be more of a hobby grade car
hey love the video I just got one of these myself I want to get a bigger battery and have a better angle for turning would there be a kit that I could get to do that @Make It RC
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.
Bro what u used for protecting the paint and giving it that shiny look? I have the same AE86 and i started painting it but i want to cover and protect the paint to make it look shiny as yours
not bad
Ain't one grain of rice on this car i think it looks clean the wheels add the icing
I’m trying to get into 3D printing, I see that you have a lot of experience with it. Could you recommend a decent but affordable printer? Note that I’m a teen who can not afford a crazy high end machine

Is taking the body off necessary or more of a suggestion? I tried to take the body off but they seem to be stuck.
This oddly felt like a how it’s made episode
Rather than painting the body, could I adapt a 1/24 scale model car body to fit this rc?
Would a Tamiya Plasma-Dash Motor be a great motor swap for this car? I recently bought it and I am curious to know if it would fit.
Take it to a professional track!
Hi I was wondering if you can try to use one of these just the chassis and electronics to fit under a 1/25 or 24 scale car kit like a Z28, mustang, or charger I think if it works that's better than buying a 3d printer
What size was the hex if you don’t mind me asking? I’m thinking of building a few of these for my kids and I’m looking at wheel options
I have one (well two) of the original paint scheme of this car! I love the thing, and it just freaking SENDS! I've absolutely beat the crap out of it, and it still keeps going! I'm only sad that the new version of it is missing the underglow LED's that mine has. Those are just such an awesome feature.
Liked it so much that I liked the video, unliked it, then liked it again
Awesome project tho lol
Just bought the same kind RC 3 sets 😅
Same color and brand of my rc ae86
You should 3d print a body for it, like so it's a different car
