SG Drifters 4

[lkraie]

I would love to know what on board camera you used and how you attached it to the chassis. Nice work

[Endruu]

@lkraie Hi! We used a standard Mini DV video camera and had it attached to an acrylic board which in turn was attached to the four poles on the RC car's chassis. Of course these days it's just easier to use an iPhone 4S or Go-Pro Hero HS Camera. =)

[lkraie]

@Endruu Thanks =)

[MuhdAjan]

Where to buy the car ?

[blammm88]

bloody hell i was fool by the first few seconds until it zoomed out...

-_-

[Videotime1030]

Where can I buy these cars in SG?

[Initial112]

r c m a r t dot c o m got some models. IMO go for a Yokomo Mr4-TC SD About 2-3 years since i last used my car but damn its fun. Costs about 200$ but there is some sweet things to "tune" em up ^^

[fblb1]

hi can any one tell me where can i find this cars.plz thx!

[tomelliott9]

havnt watched this video in literally years, just remembered about it now

[ben10yo]

How do you take off the antennas on the car?

[Endruu]

@ben10yo We didnt! What you can do is take a piece of plastic, use a rimmer and make a few holes, then thread the antenna through it and leave it underneath the body. ;)

[ben10yo]

@Endruu How much you bought for your car?

[ben10yo]

@Endruu How much is it for the best one?

[Endruu]

@ben10yo Depends, when you start out, they can be around $200 for a basic model, but the higher ones can go up to $1000-$2000 depending on what you buy

[liawkaiping]

I love SG DRIFTERS :))

[goandgolf]

[Endruu]

@goandgolf

Depending on what you buy, it can range from SGD$250 to even more for a better set.

[goandgolf]

hi, i would like to how where can i get this car? and how much are they? tks

[Endruu]

@goandgolf

You can try local hobby shops, Yokomo or Tamiya drift kits, there are quite a few places to get them locally. =)

[homen2010]

Hi can you tell me whats the name of the nissan skyline r34 body light called because im finding 1 thx

[Endruu]

@homen2010 It's by HPI, I'm not sure if they still make them though

[homen2010]

@Endruu thx

[SevenWira]

i need some guide with difting cars n some stuffs etc. , any1 ?

[fe3lgud007]

@SevenWira i can help! get to me wen u get this

[SevenWira]

i need some guide to start with some driftin cars and stuffs , any1 ?

[DrAgOnBoY63]

i wish my F1 RC can drift xD

[jeryjohn]

do you guys use ABS tyres? i think ABS sucks i prefer the tamiya drift type tires what do you think and what do you run?

[Endruu]

Hi Jery,

Different tyres suit different terrains, at least that's what we feel. My favorite is still PVC on a fresh Tennis Court, PVC works cause it's cheaper to use as well, Tamiya Drift Tyres are good, but I guess due to the price range, some times we stick to cheaper alternatives. =)

[fe3lgud007]

@Endruu i know im 5 months late but i use the pvc pipe you buy from the hardware store and its working out alright i guess, would you recommend the tamiya tires over this home made method?

[Endruu]

@fe3lgud007 Homemade's pretty good enough. If you like, you can purchase a set of Tamiya Tires, but considering their prices I'd seldom bring them out to play with and stick to cheap PVC

[tsirosgoddammit]

as soon as i fix my rc (conrod went thru the block lol) i'm gonna send you some clips of drifting... but on dirt with a buggy :D

if others send clips too then you can make a compilation :p

[blackdelorean]

I've been watching your rc drift videos since 2005 and love them, you guys made me start rc drifting too. :)

Just one question, this version of Switchback isn't the one you hear in the original Celldweller's videoclip... is this a mix or a pre-out version of the song?

[Endruu]

Hi, It's actually mixed by us for the video, we needed something different to work with so we had it edited using Audacity =)

[jwrx7tt01]

@Endruu cool mix. availble for download anywhere?

[Endruu]

@jwrx7tt01 Sorry it's just a cut and paste I have lost the original file =(

[jwrx7tt01]

@Endruu ok don't worry. what do u mean by a cut and paste?

[Endruu]

@jwrx7tt01 lol, I used a software called Audacity to cut and reposition the music, thus the mix is slightly different from the original Celldweller's Switchback

[jwrx7tt01]

@Endruu ah ok

[sgtGrif]

@blackdelorean i thinks its the detroit 2000 remix...

[jwrx7tt01]

@sgtGrif sounds like it

[enforcer533]

didnt he say its just a hobby

[drifterdrifting]

Go get a real car la....

[Endruu]

U must be new to the drift scene, obviously you don't know how close we are to the local garages and motoring scene in Singapore =)

[drifterdrifting]

Yes, I am new to this. hahaha.. Sure, of course I am not known to all these. Afterall, its child's play, right ? haha. Its a fantasy for us to drift a car, but drifting an R.C car, is not the closest thing to drifting a real car. I rather ride on a besom. ha ! Anyway, I dont drift car. My thots jus drifted here. =)

[itszALDWiN]

What a hater. It's obviously just a hobby, like playing basketball. So chill.

[RC0racer]

since u dun drift wad 4 u talk crap? cause u dun understand anything

[drifterdrifting]

It's no crap. Let me snap you out of it. yes itszALDWiN, its jus like playing basketball, except that the hoop is a minature one... and probably sticked on your wall. And then you start throwing "basket ball", the size of an huge fuji apple into it and claim to be a bball player ? You dont even have to jump ? See the difference ? Drifting a car. haha.

[RC0racer]

hello since the hoop is smaller the n the ball is smaller means everything has to be more accurate wad...

[drifterdrifting]

Wow... den i bet all the NBA ballers play tat. hahaha

[ricoflareo]

oh yea and is it really hard to build a kit? cuz if its not i have some modeling experience..... some.... so if its not hard and there are instructions i think ill go with a kit....

[Endruu]

TT-01 Ds are called Ds cause it means Drifting, so get the D version, Nah their not hard to read, Tamiya manuals are among the easiest =)

[itszALDWiN]

LOL, these are Tamiyas ? Dang, I remember back in the day when Tamiyas where the ones that had a disc on each corner and don't turn. Haha. Dang, those were fun to play with back then, and these should be so much better [x

[ricoflareo]

OKay....ive picked a car.... its the Tamiya XB Nismo Silvia ..... its like pretty cheap and alright to start with.... what do u think?

[Endruu]

that's a pretty decent car to go by in my opinion =)

[ricoflareo]

Alright.... its the silvia then..... but... shuld i have tt-01 or tt-01d? whts the diff?

thx alot mate... =)

[Stinkeyfeet678]

sg drifters was my first drift vid i saw about rc cars now im hooked

[Endruu]

Thx for the support man! We're just as glad making them for you guys.

[xx5y4hxx]

this is a celldweller swtichback remix isint it?

[Endruu]

lol, I had it slightly chopped up and switched its parts around cause I couldn't use the original cut, it didnt fit the video =)

[ricoflareo]

How much did the cars cost and where did u get them from? wah got style sia.... im frm singapore and im interested in joining the hobby....how much will it set me back?

[Endruu]

Hey Rico, these cars will set you back around $400 or so for a base model, you can check out sgdriftersDOTcom and go to the forum for more details if you like =)

[ricoflareo]

Thx man.... when i come to permenetly live in sg.... then maybe ill cosider joiin u guys... but fr now im jus a singaporean stuck in some foreign land.... :( ok so im gonna try yoko and see.... thx for the help.... btw.... thts 400 s$ rite?

[JANUARYSUPERMAN]

Cool This Is All The Video Rc Cars Are Racing

[HustlaJ21]

it's lamborghini murcialago good for drifting please reply

[Endruu]

its ok, the cover isn't as important as the chassis and your car setup really.

[kmk4life86]

or who is it

[Endruu]

Celldwellers - Switchback.

U can see it in the credits

[kmk4life86]

yo whats the song name....please

[athrun223]

where can u get those cars and how much does it cost?

[Endruu]

answers are somewhere down the thread actually. They cost between $200USD to...well...depends on what u get.

[gtrs1994]

do u know what happened to the forum? It always have problems and now i cannot enter again.

[Endruu]

Hm, I'm not sure sorry. I've been kinda busy these days with school I havent had time to meet up with the guys.

[ClanMPA]

i was also thinking of getting the TT-01 instead.. whaever is the best cheapest drift car i can get that is already RTR

[Endruu]

I used to own a TT-01. I personally like shaft-driven cars for drifting, if I were you and wanted sth basic, I'd get a TT-01 =)

[ClanMPA]

what if i wanted to go out to a track and drift? i just dont wanna invest $500 into a car... I might be driving it like 3 hours a day 4 times a week. just wanna knw if i should get something else... my budget is 300$ (american) max and the sprint 2 drift leaves me some money to still customize my car. i could get some more drift tires new body and some more shit

[xmdrifter]

go with the sprint 2

it's a good car to start with

go on ebay after that and order "Sushi Drift Tires" they're precut and rounded ABS plastic and will fit right on the rim.

though going to home depot or somethin is cheaper because you can get 10feet of 2 inch diameter PVC or ABS for like 10 bucks...

anyways, good luck drifting. just practice.

[ClanMPA]

I want to know if you think the Sprint 2 Drift RTR from HPI is any good? Is it worth purchasing? I mean its only 200 bucks, has nice body, and seems good for the price. I want you opinion...

[Endruu]

Honestly, a lot of RTR drift kits are good fun to play with if you just intend to do a bit of backyard trashing around. If you're a hobbyist though, u might wanna invest in a higher end model. =)

[GuitarnScythes]

Very well edited, the music goes sooo well with the video footage. Great job and kickass drifting!

[6312]

how much does 1 of those cost?

[Endruu]

depending, a cheap one can go for about $200 usd, a good one would probably reach up to $500 or more, check with your local hobby store, they may help =)

[Kimflash]

U didint make this -.-

[Endruu]

heh, then who did?

[Kimflash]

Another guy in youtube i dont remember hie uploaded it one year before you !

[Endruu]

lol, you obviously haven't read the credits at the end of the video have you? If that other guy is going around claiming that video to be his, I'm disappointed about it. If you'd like proof, drop me an email (shown in the video) and I'll reply you if you like.

SGD4 was made in 2004 before Youtube, I only uploaded it recently after my friends bugged me to do so. Cheers

[Kimflash]

oh .. right .. sry then o.o

[Endruu]

no worries. If you're local and hae a drift car, drop by the local drift meets some time and hang out with the guys, cheers =)

[Kimflash]

i dont live in malaysia or singapore im just from malaysia :P

[Kimflash]

lol forgot to tell u i accedently rated 2 >:]

[Endruu]

ha, wth. nvm then

[BallarErSvage]

1/5 you suck!

[ALEKS98765432]

can sum1 plz tell me how much these are , their fukin sick

[Endruu]

Their quite expensive actually. A cheap model will probably set you back about $150USD but a good model can easily hit about US$500

[JoeVSvolcano]

SportWerks makes an excellent 1/18 scale RTR drift car for only 90 on eBay.

[Endruu]

huh what porche? where? lol which meeting u go to?

[liawkaiping]

now using camaro '68 blue at bbdm

[catboi333]

Where do you all play your rc cars normally? Cause i've no one to play with. Haha

[motoSX125]

yeh well there arent any hardwood places for me to drift so... I think I might have come up with a cool new idea that I will try this weekend. And i found that ABS was easier to find. It typically runs slightly smaller than PVC and can usually fit right over the rim... I might have to just try tuning my motor down some...

[motoSX125]

I have a place with tennis courts but they are used constantly... I run mostly in parking lots and parking garages... I can use regular tires in garages but I cant seem to find a good tire to use on the regular street... Yokomo tires dont last for me... I eat through rings really fast...

[Endruu]

lol, yeah that's the thing. another method would be to find a smooth surface like a lacquered wooden floor and wrap the pvc tyres with velcro tape, specifically the female side of the tape, which is the softer "hairy" side of the tape

[motoSX125]

Dude your videos are always so sick. I lvoe the sg drifters series... I watch them all the time. I just have to ask how yall keep so much speed running pvc and abs tires though... Im running an LRP sphere and reedy neo one 4.0t motor and my car is just way too fast for those tires... Honeslty cheap "grip" tires can almost work fro drifting for me... but yall all run abs and stuff still right?

[Endruu]

Ha, glad you enjoy the videos. nah we run ABS and PVC tyres. The only problem is we have to do it on certain surfaces, so places like tennis courts where the texture is rough yet even, it makes for good traction, hence they move really fast.

[SimpleDesire95]

hmm..wheres those races held? i live in bedok resevoir, jalan damai area..i wanna know thx

[Endruu]

we dun have races all the time, but our current place of meet is at Ulu Pandan Community Centre on Tuesdays at 7:30pm onwards. u can find out mroe at the main webby =)

[BRT2000]

Hi andrew. U look like a guy, who knows something about Rc drifting. My friend has a pretty good car, he likes driftin, but he dont know, which tires will be the best. two years ago it wa easy to choose, but know you have so many types.

[Endruu]

hey! sorry for the late reply. We custom cut our own pvc tyres from the hardware store and fit them around the rims of the car instead of using regular rubber tyres. u can bring a rim to the hardware store and see i u can find pvc pipes that fit, cut them to size and slot them in =)

[fusion610]

how much do they cost?

[Endruu]

wow, it really depends. Cheaper models can go around $200 USD while better ones like some of the cars in the video can go for about $600USD with everything included(batteries, charger, controller etc) =)

[fusion610]

amazin wat cars do u use

[Endruu]

their 1/10 scale RC cars. The brand most of us play with in particular, are the Yokomo Drift Kits. =) Their electric base models =)

[sk8dude88888888]

thanx for the help

[Endruu]

anytime =)

[sk8dude88888888]

another thing, how the hell did u cut that song so clean its better than there version!

[Endruu]

lol, I used to use Audacity, you should try it its free, use it along with whatever wav to mp3 converter u can find.

Nowadays I just use my Mac's Final Cut Pro to do things. =)

[sk8dude88888888]

do u use the hpi d-box?

[Endruu]

nope, it's in fact, not really good when you wanna achieve certain moves like a feint.

[MarTin3Z420]

its actually not too bad for a rc cars video, you put alot of time and effort into it and it payed off good job

[Endruu]

lol, thanks alot for the compliments =)

[Endruu]

Lol, glad to see more ppl into RC Drifting. u mean the greyish course in SG4? It's actually a Kyosho MiniZ Racing track. If i remember correctly, they use gray carpeting and just white pipes to line the track. As for the NP-SP drift challenge, we used cut tyres as markers. =)

[rachel230]

brand is tamiya right?

[Endruu]

nope, most of the cars u see here are Yokomo Drift Kits

[rachel230]

how much one car about?

[Endruu]

depends on where you're from. If you're in Singapore, one might cost from $300 to $800 depending on the brand and setup of the car. =) These are pretty expensive cause their hobby cars, not exactly within the to range, thus they come at a premium. But if you're into such things and have a lot of time for it, their worth every penny =)

[mmutasim2]

So where do you guys buy the Yokomo Drift Kits? I've been trying to get them for quite a while now. Do they sell at the small RC shop in East Coast Park? Thanks.

[Endruu]

hey, no man, we carry it though, u need to contact the sgdrifters forum or look for "Dabomb" or "Zhihao" or "Alex" on the forum to get help in buying one set. =)

[mmutasim2]

Oh,I see. Thanks,man. I'm definitely going to get it!

[dilla004]

boooo

[rachel230]

is that tamiya tt 01 rc?

[Endruu]

there are a few models inside the vid other than the tamiya models, u can actually look at the credits to find out =)

[Shadowrunner454]

i noticed that out of all the vids u have really good camera control and sometimes u follow the cars for a long period of time how do u do that?????

[Endruu]

honestly? trial and error. lol! We did a few takes, some times the car gets it, but I miss the shot, some times I get the shot, but the car doesn't complete the run. nothing's perfect, but we try our best to ensure it comes out good on video =)

[masterkdrifter]

thats maddness u guys drift so well

how long did it take to get so good?

nic vid

[Endruu]

lol thanks =) There was a period of time where we drifted VERY often and we normally play on tight tracks so some of the guys pick it up really fast. Ofcourse, dun always trust what u see, like any video, this one has its bloopers and retakes as well. but thanks for the compliments!

[slammerbammer]

Where Did you guys Buy those ? I've Been looking for them , like 2 months .

Btw , you video Rocks

[Endruu]

where are u from? if you're from Singapore, u can check out the sgdrifter's website forum and maybe get help in acquiring one, if not, u can try towerhobbies webside and buy a yokomo, tamiya or hpi drift car there. =)

[slammerbammer]

Thanks , Singaporean anyways .

[knuxthefox]

I'm glad someone uploaded this video on YouTube. I can't remember the site I used to go to where this video was located (.AVI) But, I love it. Strangely, seeing it again made me crave a sequel to the crazy RC racing game, Re-Volt. Let's put drifting into an RC racing game! ^.^

[Endruu]

lol, glad you enjoy the video. If you want to, u can send me ur email address and i'll try to yousendit to you a clearer copy of it =) It was in Mpg btw, but i think i can reconvert the original copy to a clearer version =) just lemme know.

[basilora]

i thought this was the 3rd vid SG made

[Endruu]

Ha, nope, this is the 4th, if u look at 00:34 of the video you'd see a glimpse of the past 3 videos...the third is under my archive but I didnt bother to upload the first two cause if u type it on youtube u'd prolly see it somewhere floating around this site =)

[Endruu]

Hm, I doubt so, it's been a long time since I've been there cause BK's track is reserved for grip drivers and not drifters so i doubt he has those stuff to provide u. Regarding rims not fitting in, what we do is we take sand paper, or just rub ur rim against the road to wear it down a lil so that the pvc tyre can fit in better. That's how we did it when we first started cheers!

[poandpee1]

NVM, got some ready made tyres at Taising. And btw ur allowed to drift at BK'S place but u caqn't use PVC Tyres cos they leave PVC dust behind.

[Endruu]

HM, yep Taising sells HPI tyres, their pretty good but rather pricey, that's why most of us stick to PVC cause its a lot cheaper. In fact I think there are quite a lot of drift groups in Singapore who organise parking lot drift meets, u can check it out, just log on to the sgdrifters forum and maybe u can find one near your place =)

[RaVeMaSterVaN]

Hi Endruu!! Erm you can still drift in BK but strictly Drift Tires only ... no ABS or PVC.

[Endruu]

Ha, so I've heard. Yeah that's good to know. But for now I'm broke, cant afford HPI tires, got tonnes of PVC ones so I'm sticking to PVC, still many places to play esp with Zhirong's load of "on site DIY tracks"...lol. Thanks for the heads up by the way =)

[poandpee1]

OOPS, accidentally pressed enter, to finish off my sentence. BK's Place(Queenstown circuit)? And at Taising, do they have like ready made drift wheels cos I tried putting in the rims into the tyre and its so hard.

[poandpee1]

Do u guyssometimes go to BK's place(Queenstown

[boboi95]

ABS is the battery or tyre?

[Endruu]

That's the tyre sorry, lol

[boboi95]

wat type of batteries n tyres do u use??

[Endruu]

lol we use PVC Tyres and RC Batteries 7.2V side by side or stick packs.

You can also use ABS if you'd like

[diino1]

fuk man crazi vid....what cars are used? d-box? i got some pvc tyres on ma nitro car man not that easy to control....i got a hpi rx7 looks ok with its frontmount cooler lol side mirrors and rear exhaust tip...

[Endruu]

Ha we use electric motors, most of us run Yokomo Drift Kits. I think Gas cars have a lot of torque so u gotta control it properly but i've seen videos of it, so it's possible, check out the videos and listen to the rev of the motor to know when those gas drifters are pulling the trigger on their car to know how they control their drifts =)

[Tobiwankenobi18]

thanx 4 answearing my questins ^^ u are really the pros

[Tobiwankenobi18]

but how do yu fix thm that they dont slip off the tire??

[Endruu]

You need to get the right size, the right one will fit snugly and will not fall off. If not, u can use vinyl tape to wrap around the rims to prevent them from falling off

[Tobiwankenobi18]

what for tires do you use ? you r the best cheaters on earth ^^

[Endruu]

I'm guessing that's babelfish talk. Haha. We use PVC pipes cut to size and fit them around the tyre rims to drift =)

[DANDthekid]

Or ABS piping

[metangking123]

luv the song man the music and the video ROX

[g0202180]

This is a great display of RC drifting by SGers!

[prashumamu]

hey dis is betta dan da 3rd one

[nicholaxxx]

would we be able to get money if we start racing, or is it just for the hell of it?

[Endruu]

Hm.....not that i know of, even local grip racing also doesnt have money, they have prizes though, plus the thrill of racing can be quite fun at times. =)

[nicholaxxx]

dang, sounds fun, but i would rather earn my money back, TY

[iloveleh]

do u guys go to BK's track?

[Endruu]

We used to when we first started out in 2003. But grip drivers werent very fond of drifters leaving pvc dust on their tracks, so we figured it's best we moved out of the place. We do have drift sessions all around Singapore though. Check out the forum at sgdrifters website to find out which places we drift at. =)

[ronaldo0711]

cool!! for a moment back there i tot i was looking at a real car drifting.. haha.. good job btw =D

[franktheboy]

what music is this?

[Endruu]

CellDwellers - Switchback

Although the song has been changed a bit.

Still the same tune though =)

Andrew

:)

[franktheboy]

ty, cool music:)

[Killerknig59]

Thoose are some dope cars and the drivers got skills

[tc3drift]

cool vid, i like the on board camera ( click my name to see a great selection of rc car videos leave a comment!)

[GatebilFredrik]

What do you recommend of Adobe Premier and Mac Fincal Cut Pro...? Is it a torrent you have download..? link.. =)

[Endruu]

Well actually if you own a Mac u should try final cut pro, cause that's the only OS it works on. If you are using a PC just get adobe =)

[GatebilFredrik]

Do you know about some good tut..? I have it, but i dont understand a shit...!!! xD Some good tips..?

[GatebilFredrik]

Do you know about some good tut..? I have it, but i dont understand a shit...!!! xD Some good tips..? I meen Adobe Premier.. ;)

[Endruu]

you mean with Adobe Premier?

Actually you can try checking out Youtube, sometimes they got video lessons on how to use these things, i know they got a video lesson for final cut pro...lol.

Andrew

[GatebilFredrik]

lol... i found it out at the end of the vid... xD

but wath type of directing program do you juse...??? =)

heyah

Haha, I use Adobe Premier, I recently switched to Mac Fincal Cut Pro though
