Daichi wants to know what a setup change actually fixes. Tire choice, surface, steering geometry and weight distribution matter more to him than a long list of option parts. He likes a clear baseline and a single variable at a time; he has little patience for a tuning claim that cannot say which condition it applies to.

Yokomo’s development staffer Tome walks through brushless motor disassembly, reassembly and maintenance using DX1/DX2 examples. For drift drivers, the useful point is knowing what to inspect before a motor problem becomes a setup problem.
Bad Shoppe’s unboxing frames the SV2, or Shark Version 2, as a hardware-rich evolution of Rhino Racing’s Shark platform. The open question is fitment: the video says donor-car builds are possible, but does not confirm which chassis.
The REQUIEM core chassis is being framed around control, traction and using suspension movement to rotate the car. DMR’s linked high-upper arm mount and front knuckle are the setup clues to watch.
The new DOSLOG video frames a chassis conversion and knuckle-servo reinforcement parts around one setup question: how much of the steering-feel change comes from geometry, support parts and wheelbase choice? The useful answer is bounded by what the video confirms, and by what it leaves unstated.
The new rechargeable digital gauge is specified for 1/24 to 1/8 RC cars, with a 2–38 mm range and 0.1 mm stated accuracy. For drift use, the value is in repeatable measuring, not in replacing track-side judgment.
The Nov. 6 upload from DMR Mikasu-Works links the REQUIEM core chassis and several Japan-specific DMR parts. The useful takeaway is what is documented—and what still needs a setup sheet before anyone copies it.
enjoy smile Co.’s first All Japan Model Hobby Show booth centered on the MRD RTD, a battery-and-body complete car with newly developed control hardware and a modular rear unit.
Wes Handy’s new recap frames the SDC Las Vegas Round 8 finals around local Vegas pace, visiting drivers, tandem calls and a regional title fight. The useful read is not setup data, but what the video says about the event’s competitive pressure.
HPI Racing has published a Quicklook video explaining the Stage-D24, a purpose-built rear-wheel-drive drift model at 1/24 scale with a spool diff, a 37-turn motor and transmitter-adjustable gyro settings. Here is what the published spec actually commits to, and what it leaves open.
Nez0's Bad Shoppe posted a short video saying LZX pre-production testing is going very well. That line is the whole published claim, so here is what a shakedown stage usually settles and what a buyer still has to wait for.
Part two of the Masami Hirosaka lesson series on G-FORCE's blog explains why both a motor and an ESC carry timing adjustment, and why the same number feels different depending on where you set it.
Bad Shoppe's trackside unboxing runs HPI's 1/24-scale Stage D24 RWD ready-to-run, with its GR Supra body and included 2S LiPo, on Elite Drift Shop's Japanese P-tile. Here is what the video establishes and what it leaves open.
G-FORCE has announced the 鳳 -AGEHA- Drift Brushless Motor in 10.5T, 13.5T and 15.5T, due on sale 24 October. Here is what the published spec settles about wiring, timing and cooling, and what it leaves open.
Maclan Racing says its new VREKA brushless motor was co-developed with Overdose for competition drift, in 10.5T and 13.5T. Here is what the release pins down about the stator, the 12.3mm rotor and the vented can, and what it leaves open.
The Japanese RC news blog ラジコンもんちぃ reports that G-FORCE has started a Masami Hirosaka drift lecture series, opening with what a brushless ESC actually lets you set. Part two is already announced.
The product page confirms a body-included 2WD kit under the Drift Package name. Here is what that name has meant before, which maker documents exist, and what a buyer still has to confirm.
From Beenleigh to Shiga to Ostfildern, most RC drift venues decide your tire before you arrive. Here is what nine sets of posted rules mandate, on which surface, and the reason each one gives.
The Osaka body maker's first in-house chassis pairs front strut and rear multi-link suspension with a front-mounted 380 motor and a 240-280 mm wheelbase range. Here is what the maker and its sellers actually specify, and what they do not.
A booth report from RC TEAM CHONMAGE sets out what CAYOTE showed at the 2026 All Japan Model Hobby Show: an accessible TT-LINE of batteries and waterproof ESCs alongside the competition line, a DC charger in development, and a separate drift-aimed brand, Sidekick. Prices were not given at the show.
A father-and-child project posted to r/rcdrift, the Drift27 is published as STL files rather than sold as a kit. You print the structure and supply the shocks, bearings, driveshafts, belt and axles yourself.
Nez0's Bad Shoppe says it took only three adjustments to bring the KKPIT SDK DDS v1 into the channel's own v1 tuning spec. Here is what the video description puts on the record, and what still has to come from the footage.
DMR Mikasu-Works has published a full explanation of its front knuckle and listed normal and high-upper versions on its own shop. What the posting confirms, what it leaves to the video, and what to check before ordering.
A drift gyro turns the front wheels against the car's rotation, faster than a thumb can. How to wire and mount one, the direction check to do before every first run, and where the makers' own manuals say to start with gain.
In 2014 the realistic way to drift a 1/10 car was an all-wheel-drive chassis with its rear axle overdriven. Today's rulebooks ask for rear-wheel drive. Here is what changed on the car.
