Xmods Drifting tutorial part 2 and drift practice.

Part 2. Go to part one if you need a setup for drifting. I just used this tutorial to practice drifting with 1.5mm offset wheels in the rear of my car :)

Electronics continued

Heres a list of compatible electronics to use in an xmod:

-Micro-T ESC and Servo. This is a great board to start out with to go Hobby Grade. This was my first conversion into my Gen 1. It has great throttle and steering response. It'll run from $30 to $45. I use the stock Micro-T remote which is about $20 to $40. If you're lucky like me you can find one for $8...
-iWaver PCB-This is a copy of a Mini-z board. I have one in my Skyline Drift car that you can see in my other videos. Its a huge improvement over stock electronics. It glitches from time to time too. Its the cheapest out of the bunch here. Its only around $20 but you'll need a 2ch remote/transmitter which is about another $20. $40 isn't bad to make your car handle much better comparable to a Z.
-Mini-Z PCB- The real version of an iWaver board. Its better in ways and doesn't glitch. Its definitely pricey. I haven't seen them go for under $35 dollars. If you know someone who is going 2.4ghz, they usually try to sell their old board at a fairly cheap price.
-RV Project 2wd/4wd PCB- This is the board my car uses throughout this tutorial. Its supposedly better than a Mini-z board because its an upgrade. It has a lot of manufacturer defects though, so buy it from somewhere that has a lot of customer service. I got another one for free when my first board didn't work. it ranges from $25 to $45.
-RPMZ board- I don't know much about it. I saw it in trainboy414's video so subscribe to him and ask him about it :)

Thats really all there is to it. Thanks to Yuzo Koshiro and the Wangan Midnight Soundtrack. Also Thanks to HPI Racing for making a tutorial of which I based mine off of. And Thanks to you guys for checking it out!

do u have level 2 motor 4 the evo that i could maby buy off you

[xXWhiteCarismaXx]

@hotrodsk8er Sorry I do not, only enough to run my cars :( What is better is an aftermarket mini-z motor. just make sure its 130 size and FET safe. Try the PN Racing BB stock motor, its great! Most motors out there are wayy better then the radioshack crap.

Ha!!!! I knew an xmod could not drift like that with the stock electronics board. I have a mini z ma-010 and an xmod street mustang which is electronics Are fried bud still I love the way that baby drifts very nice job man!!! :)

[xXWhiteCarismaXx]

@antonis0035tc Thanks!!! I might have to prove you wrong though ;) It all comes with practice, I use to drift stock ones no prob, I just upgraded is all. If I can, maybe I'll get up some new videos of an xmods with a stock pcb drifting. I sold all of mine though LOL

@wilsonpsj Thank you! I really appreciate it :D I'm in the works for re-doing this on my new channel with more in depth explanations. I actually do not lock my rear or front diff. The xmod Evo chassis is so heavy, it needs all the oversteer it can get! And no counter-steer device either, its all feel of the car :) they don't actually make devices like that for small scale, only for larger cars

[wilsonpsj]

this is the best drift tutorial i've ever seen...you got it ! nice control of the car......" candy for the eye"......drifting this way is an art !!!..do you use rear diff locked ? or some kind of counter-steer device ?
