Losing grip – Jaw dropping drift releases
Check out what’s taking place within the drift scene! In the previous couple of weeks Team Associated and Traxxas each have launched drift vehicles. How cool that one large participant and The Big Player are entering into this area of interest of the interest! And for added spice amongst new releases, Yokomo has launched their MD 1.0 LTS, transferring the slicing fringe of drifting one other step forwards (sideways?).
Most thrilling of the three is in fact Team Associated’s providing, DC10 RWD Competition Drift Car Kit. Why? Because it’s a devoted drift machine, as a result of a giant firm has determined to get within the waters the place Yokomo, MST and a few small corporations rule supreme. It’s lots to tackle, however from the seems to be of it they’re getting fairly full on.
Traxxas then again has taken the prevailing 4-tec chassis, eliminated the middle drive shaft and redesigned the entrance finish. Check out the images under for a high finish comparability, authentic 4-tec on high, drift model under, and for sake of comparability Team AE on the backside – a quite completely different cup of tea.
Note that Traxxas has added turnbuckles on the rear for camber adjustment, versus the fastened hyperlinks of the 4-tec.
Traxxas is clearly in no way as dedicated as Team AE, nevertheless it’s nonetheless cool that they’re providing a drift automotive for the lots, one that may simply be drifted exterior. I think about that this one could be the entry ticket into drifting for lots of current Traxxas followers – who’ll then get a real drift chassis as soon as the bug has gotten them good and correct.
That’s the place Yokomo’s newest magic enters the sport. “Load Transfer Special”. Very, very cool! A fast have a look at the entrance setup is sufficient to let that they’re on the highest of their recreation. The 4-tec drift RTR seems to be downright clumsy as compared. But then once more, they don’t seem to be to be in contrast, clearly aiming for various market segments.
‘Tis an excellent time to get into drifting. Go get sideways!
