Hi All,
[edited and corrections]
I am new to RC and and new to drifting. I got this E4D Brushless 6.5T and I am in the midst of converting it to RWD. I just need a little help with converting it to a reasonable rwd.
Running Surface: Polished Tiles
Tires : Rubber Hard Compound
Everything is standard E4d, i only removed the belt from the front to the back.
Mods :
e4d MF knuckles
Shaved Chassis (for more turn angle)
Rear Battery Position (approximately 350grams)
Front Weight (125grams)
Front Toe : out slightly
Front camber : 2 deg
Rear Camber : 7.7 Deg [this is wrong. 0-2degs only needed]
Diffs are still in.
1) I have a problem that the car doesn't turn sometimes. Wheels are at full lock but the car seems to go in a straight line when it is going fast. Is this normal ? I have no problems if throttle is really low / or surfaces with more traction.
[ Yes this is normal]
2) I am looking for Y lower suspension arm joints to fit. Anyone has any ideas of which would fit ? Can i use the Sakura D4 lower arms ? or anyone has the dims for it ? e4d lower arm is about 29mm length and 5mm thick.
[Sakura D4 lower arms fits]
3) Is a gyro recommended for RWD cars ? Will this resolve most of the fish tailing ? or will it still happen if over throttle ?
[Gyro is needed]
4) Do i need to remove the front diff ? so there is smoother front wheel movement ?
[ Front diff gone for more angle]
5) Any suggestions to improve on handling ? Softer rubber tires ?
[ Gyro, controller, harder tires, proper weight placement]
