TT-01 RWD RC Real Drift

(Highspeed Drift @1:09)
Fotoshooting pictures of my TT-01 Skyline in a great location followed by some drifttraining in parkinglot. Special thanks to my friend Joel who did a great job on filming and editing my last 3 videos.
In this video, you see my RWD modified TT-01 as described in the last 2 videos.
This time I used a gyro for the highspeed drifting action. I realised that i should have placed the center of gravity further to the back for the highspeed drifts.Center of gravity in front makes your car very stable and easy to keep it from spinning out,but for higher speeds the understeering and the fast steering reaction make the car too stable which results in wobbly drifts caused by the fast reaction of the car when i turn the steering wheel(its great for small areas like my room but not for a parking lot).Anyhow it was great fun to drift in the parking lot and it is still looking good due to the fact that it is a rearwheel drive dooing large drifts.
I think ill try out the setup change but it wont make the car easier to drift maybe it will get more difficult but it will look even smoother.

I havent tried it with the weight on the back! But i sure will! My roomtrack is quite small so i needed a fast reacting car.And for sure a car i am able to catch when it starts to spin out.

Due to the enormous steering angle now, i can try to bring the center of gravity to the back without loosing the car in every corner. This should make the car behave smoother but i think direction changees will become HARD.Do you mean by RR and FR the engine position?

[deendan1]

@deendan1 I've just put some weight on the rear. Car is able to hold the drift smooth for a longer time but also more difficult to catch if it is on its way to spin out ( i think good for large fast corners).Non-Drift behaviour with lots of weight on the rear-> huge understeering.I think i should have added some weight on the rear for the parking lot video would have made the drifts smoother and more realistic.Tests were made on very slippy surfaces not on carpet.

I saw u said that u put the weight to the back.it's for more traction right?and did u change ur tires?

[deendan1]

@Theboysays I didnt put the weight to the back! its in the front because the car turns around an imaginary axis slightly behind the frontwheels so by putting the battery in the front i reduce the moment of inertia around this axis to make the car react faster to my steering and easier to keep away from spinning around. So by driving for this video at higher speeds i realised that the car starts to drift in a corner but gets too fast stable again which endet the drift.

@Theboysays PART 2 OF ANSWER: What i will change for highspeed drifts is the moment of inertia. I will make the car heavier in the back (without moving battery only by adding weight, i think a heavy car is less nervous and smoother to conroll) to increase the inertia. A car that has lot of weight in the back so a big leverarm for its inertia will be more difficult to bring into drift but once it is in drift it will keep it for a long time (more difficult to end it or change direction

@Theboysays PART 3 OF ANSWER: I just use plastic tires(or it is a kind of extremely hard rubber) because they are the only ones i can get from a +- local shop but there are sure better tire setups i think (i dont want to waste 5€ of shipping for 20€ tires^^)

the link to my mods and tutorial :-} and watch this vid of how much steering angle i got :} /watch?v=lB8jllsUNJE

[xx1L0NEW0LF1xx]

RWD/Countesteer setup works with tt01 very easily Heres my tutorial on how to do it :-}

and search this vid of how my tt01 reacts to weight at front... RWD RC Countersteer Drifting Test #2 BTW moving the engine to front would make it drift like a RWD OTA R31 and using lipos make its stability increased :} due to the lessened weight :} thanks deendan1 for ur help now im fastest drifter in my place

[Theboysays]

Yep.hope to see more vids soon bye!!

[Theboysays]

@deendan1 btw my RWD got abit better.I get what u mean by making the car heavier.and...what's the most advisable layout ? RR or FR? I have been trying out RR layout.it's kinda a BIT more stable when ur moving around.if u have seen a recent video by ps31boy he put weight at the back instead of putting it in front.and he says there will be more traction like this.any ideas? Thx
