Ok googled Ofna TC and couldnt quite find what I was thinking of so maybe you could point me in the right direction.

Also, what are the benefits of the shaft driven chassis to the belt driven? Is there better performance with the belts? Less parts?

Thanks for all the help!

Shaft driven cars are heavier and have problems with torque steer.
Also CS is a bigger problem to realize then on belt driven cars.
Good thing about shaft driven cars are sealed transmission(well most parts) so you can drive them on a dirty track without having the problems with pebbles or dirt.
A belt car is lighter and is easy to confert to CS ratio.
Also no torque steer
Drivetrain has less friction so longer running time and yes the belt cars have less parts in the drivetrain.

Torque steer depends on set up, and preference.
I seen shaft drives that did as well as belt drives, you just have to work with things.

Now CS aka Counter Steer Mod I would stay away from if you are new.
Get the basics first and understand how to modify the car.

This was my drifter its now been converted to a racer.

It seems that a lot of people still use the TT-01D.

Would I be making a mistake to start off with this? It seems like a decent beginners rig.

Im not looking for Yokomo status right out of the gate...

It all depends on what you have to pay for the kit.
Some people sell them cheap, others are asking big bucks.
If your lucky, you can pick up a nice car for not so much money.
It all depends what you are looking for and what the budget is.

hey guys, ive got a drift chassis and im in need of a motor and speedy, im thinking mamba max pro just coz its just the best but im not a drifter at all so if u have any info on what u guys run or what combo or turn could be help to me, thanks.

Mitchie,

The best that I know of for drifting are Sensored motor/Esc combo. Motor runs from 8.5 -13.5 turns and ESC commonly 35-90 amps is claimed by in forums to be optimal torque/power.

Novak/Nosram/LRP/EZrun/S. Passion is mostly used by the group but many members stand by LRP's AI ESC.

In drifting, motor should have low speed control and does not jolt when accelerating( commonly noted with Sensorless).

In short sensored Brushless system , should be controllable at low speed and behaves like a brushed motor/ESC system.

Which bring me to my question to fellow Drifters

Do any of you have first hand experience with Speed passion Cirtix D manager/4000kv motor Combo?

"Jolting" can be due to ratio being geared too low. I usually run around 6.3-6.5 FDR Also, By turning down the Punch on the esc and adjusting the timing on the motor.

What would be a good starting point as far as shock oils, springs camber, ride height...etc. please pm me , i will try to remember to look on this thread but might forget, any info/insight would be much appriciated. thanks,

I was hoping to find out more info on the Hot Bodies TC-FD but there is none that I can find anywhere... I really like the idea that I can set this chassis up for racing in the winter and then summer switch it over to drifting. Although it would be me alone drifting as we have none up here in TX...

Really debating about this car or the TA06 Pro and just hoping it up as I go such as VBC or Exotek chassis, etc...

With drift cars you have no traction on ABS or T-drift tires. So you want to set up your suspension to gain as much traction as possible. Soft springs, light shock oil and and as much flex as possible. Unless you plan on doing CS drifting camber and caster don't influence the car much as the tires wear flat any camber.

Camber and toe play a huge role. Castor, not so much. I run 40wt oil; yokomo black black springs(softest available) rear toe 3* and 0* camber in the rear, 1.5 up front.
