🚦Event / Club Is this a good idea for opening new club, for newbies?

6 Upvotes

Hiya, newbie here)

I'm recently get myself into this hobby, and it's a lot of fun, but more or less I don't have any community around, even as I'm living in the 260k city in Ukraine.

As an entrepreneur by nature, I see this as an opportunity, for opening a local club and events rental services.

Am I out of my mind for this to start, or this is a nice community building and entertaining adventure, that won't take all of my time.

As I'm also teaching in university, have full time IT job, and owner of the art studio and few other things.

New drifter question

My brother gave me an mst rtr drifter car. I used it in the garage for a couple weeks. Then he gave me his TA DC10 after he upgraded to an sd3.0. I drove the dc10 at Max speed shop on a proper track and fell in love with drifting. Now I want to build my own

The rdx with mc3 upgrade seems like a great chassis that is beginner friendly and also has an upgrade path… which is awesome because I like to build and rebuild things

Am I on the right track? If I am going to eventually drop $1300+ on this (over time). Should I consider the Rhino Final form or any other chassis?

With the RDX what are the most do upgrades in the initial build to maximize my experience. And then what should I look to do add after I drive it for awhile.

SCX24 rigged for drifting.

RWD, Gyro, and a complete lack of suspension.

It doesn’t handle well, but it functions.

Due to the geometry and lack of suspension, it will actually tripod if you get sideways enough.

Just gotta clean up the disaster that is the wiring job, and eventually maybe more wheel speed, it’s definitely limited in wheel speed.

πŸ™‹ Question I got tired of hunting vendor sites for servo/ESC software, so I built a free open-source hub for all of it currently in beta, feedback wanted!

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Like most of you I run gear from half a dozen brands, and every reflash or servo

tweak used to start with digging through some vendor's download page. So I built

**RC Central** a free, open-source desktop app that puts all the drift setup

tools in one place. Pick a tool, click Install, click Launch.

**What's in it:**

- One-click install/launch for the PC tools: RΓͺve D RS-ST PRO, AGFRC programmer,

Hobbywing USB Link, SkyRC USB Link, Acuvance updater, FlySky Noble NB4, and

EdgeTX Companion

- Info cards + official manual links for gear that has no PC software (Sanwa PGS,

Futaba GYD550, Yokomo RPX, RΓͺve D REVOX, Onisiki gyro)

- A Workshop tab: gearing calculator (rollout/FDR, plus reverse-solve β€” "what

pinion do I need for X rollout"), a drift tuning chart with explanations for

each setting, shock-oil conversion table, gyro guide, and a garage to log

setups per car and compare two cars side by side

- Already have a tool installed? Point RC Central at your existing exe and it

just tracks and launches it β€” no re-download.

**Trust stuff, since this app downloads executables:**

- It never re-hosts anything. Every download comes straight from the vendor's

official URL β€” same model as Ninite. If a vendor ever objects, their entry

gets removed.

- Fully open source (MIT), no accounts, no ads, no telemetry. Only network

traffic is the vendor downloads you click and an optional update check.

- Heads up: Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run β€” I don't have a

code-signing certificate.

All the code is on GitHub if you want to audit it or build from source.

It's **beta** (v0.7.1). Windows x64/ARM64 and Linux β€” the launcher side is

Windows-only since vendor tools are Windows exes; on Linux you get the

gearing/tuning/garage side.

**What I'd love feedback on:**

- What tools or brands am I missing? Adding one is a tiny JSON file β€” name it

and I'll add it.

- Does the tuning chart match how you actually set up your chassis, or did I

get something wrong?

- Bugs, confusing UI, anything that feels off.

GitHub + downloads: https://github.com/J3vb/RC-Central

Thanks!

πŸ™‹ Question Steering problem

5 Upvotes

Hi, I have a yokomo rd2.0 chassis with some metal upgrades upfront. One of the club members where I drove gave me his car to test and it appears that mine doesn't really help me with steering. Gyro gain is set to max level, damping factor of servo is set to 600. What am I doing wrong here?

Parts:

- Servo: AGFRC A50BHL

- Gyro: AGFRC dual mode v3 (I have also power hd g1 and OMG v4)

- Chassis: Yokomo RD2.0 with Yeah racing front metal upgrades

πŸ™‹ Question Recently got my TT02d built

4 Upvotes

Recently built my TT02d finally (skyline r34 body). I’m basically just wanting to know if people convert them to 2wd and how they compare to a higher end drift car. Is it worth converting to 2wd or should I just leave it 4wd and just make this like a β€œstreet drifter” and build a good one?

I’m not really looking for a full pro comp car but would just like to see opinions and if anyone has one built I would love to see!

What do you guys think? Previous owner decided for a drift missile kind of look which has grown on me, but conflicted on whether or not I should go with something a little cleaner
