After concluding my dream chassis (TA05 VDF) Im thinking what electronics i will get. First the Tx, I decided to go for Futaba 4PL 2.4GHz S-FHSS. Why? haha i dont really know..i just find it "4 channel" that's all but still Im very much willing to hear your comments. Other Electronics I still doing my research.

1. Tx Rx - Futaba 4PL 2.4GHz S-FHSS
2. Motor & ESC Combo - ???
3. Servo - ???

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Just buy this radio instead http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/rc-radio-futaba-megatech-junior-control-system-2phkaam-p-742.html

Its 150 dollars cheaper. I still use a radio like this after 15 years. It also comes with servos and a receiver.

If you still want to buy the other radio I have some investment opportunities i'd like to interest you in ;-)

Futaba mj.. yes thats one reliable transmitter.. it was my 1st radio back in 2003

For electronic combo's I would go for a novak or a castle.. how many turns will depend on how much your skill can handle.

Servo doesnt really matter much to me.. ive been using standard futaba servo's ever since and i find my kits still competitive against those with expensive high torque ones.

Thanks for the fast reply guys!

@ Duanne >> thanks for the tip bro!

@ Cathurga >> that's what i don't want to happen..a newbie like me interfering your channel and causing damages. that will be so embarrassing

@ Jay >> I saw good reviews about the novak but can you tell me what specific motor i can get for drifting please. Thanks!

I used Yeah Racing 5.5t Sensorless Brushless combo (YR ESC)

I find this motor over power in my TB03 so i only used 60 to 70% motor power before when it was attached in my TB03.

But now attached in my OTA-R31 70% is underpower so change to 100% power, im not sure if its because the CS gearing of the OTA or the age of the motor considering its less than a year in service.

Some drifter use only 8T or even 12T, just like Jay said it will depend on how much your skill can handle. You can choose from Sensored or Sensorless Brushless

BTW, yeah racing combo are cheap.

im using 13.5T ballistic with mamba max pro esc on my VDF

check these also



or

once you obtain those essentials, all you have to do is "practice". practice, practice and practice. no two kits are the same.

@ jovenshadow >>> sorry noob question...what does "5.5" and "T" mean? I've been seeing lots of these over the net but i cant really figure out. TIA!

@ J.Drift >>> guys..what's the difference of 5.5T, 8T and 12T?

@ Bandit >>> thanks for the effort posting that pic for me..i really appreciate it bro!

T means Turn...

The lower the "T" the faster the motor, the faster will consume the battery.

Go LRP or CASTLE CREATIONS! 6.5T would be a sweet spot .... Perdonally that is ....

After all I think I'm the last guy sliding with old school brushed power here

does it mean...

HIGH NUMBER = HIGH TORQUE ?

check!


Advisable for drifting is between 6.5-8.5T. But really is up to your liking.

its this way..

lower turns = more top end power, less torque
higher turns = more torque, less top-end power

im running on slydr 7.5 for years now and i never had any regrets on the system.
but latey it started acting up
