Redcat is banging on the doorways of the competitors, by releasing a contest spec rear wheel drive drift automobile, the Redcat RDS. The RDS is able to run and consists of all the mandatory radio gear and electronics to get you on the monitor rapidly. Because most drift rivals already personal a number of battery packs, the RDS doesn’t embody a battery or charger. The RDS will settle for a contest fashion 2S shorty LiPo pack, an LCG 2S shorty pack, or an ordinary sized 2S stick pack.
Redcat engineered the RDS, from the bottom up, for a particular objective, to compete. The lead engineer on the undertaking, Shane Mikula, is a seasoned drifter who owns and operates a contest drift monitor/passion store. Mikula’s monitor, named TandemRC, is among the high drift tracks within the US. Mikula has been on the heart of the drift scene for a few years, getting direct suggestions from fellow drifters. Through his personal expertise and others’, he’s positively discovered a factor or two about what aggressive drifters are in search of in a reliable automobile. Using this data, the Redcat engineering crew has developed a extremely aggressive rear wheel drive drift automobile that excels on surfaces which can be discovered on many ready RC drift tracks, equivalent to carpet, p-tile, and polished concrete. The RDS will also be used on unpolished concrete and asphalt, although chances are you’ll not get to expertise its full capabilities on these rougher surfaces.
The RDS is able to run and features a 2.4GHz radio system, 540 3300kv brushless motor, 60A brushless ESC, coreless digital Hexfly Drift-Spec steering servo and a drift particular gyro. Gyros are a necessity on rear wheel drive drift vehicles as they permit the driving force to attain true-to-scale door to door drift motion. The included Hexfly GX-1 gyro routinely countersteers the automobile, enabling it to keep up a clean arc by means of drifts. The quantity of computerized countersteer will be effective tuned by adjusting the quantity of acquire on the gyro.
Competitive drifting relies on line, angle, and magnificence. How shut somebody is to the best line, having most angle all through the run, transferring by means of the course rapidly and having minimal corrections after committing to an angle are what judges search for. While that is largely achieved by ability, additionally it is essential to have a predictable drift automobile that’s adjustable to your driving fashion. The RDS excels on this space with its light-weight carbon fiber primarily based chassis and adjustability. Everything on the RDS is adjustable to go well with the driving force’s wants, together with camber, caster, toe, ackerman, roll heart and heart of gravity. The motor plate will be mounted in three completely different positions, altering the automobile’s chassis roll and weight bias. This can be utilized to regulate the quantity of traction and chassis roll the RDS has on completely different surfaces. Being in a position to effective tune ackerman is essential in drifting because it immediately impacts nook velocity. Redcat has made it simple to effective tune ackerman with a number of steering hyperlink positions and a sliding ackerman plate. The RDS is loaded with tuning capabilities that may go well with even essentially the most superior drivers.
The included RDS physique appears to be like superb and is able to settle for an LED gentle equipment. LED gentle kits are bought individually. The RDS has entrance and rear gentle buckets that may settle for 4 LED lights within the rear and two up entrance. Whether it’s day or night time, the RDS appears to be like trick.
While the RDS is a complicated competitors spec drift automobile, additionally it is an ideal alternative for inexperienced persons and is already arrange out of the field for polished concrete and p-tile surfaces. This means somebody studying to float can open up the RDS and begin working towards with the manufacturing unit settings. Redcat is releasing a number of how-to movies that embody newbie drifting, superior drift methods, preliminary automobile setup, superior chassis tuning and understanding how drift competitions work. These movies are filled with Mikula’s shared information of drifting to assist drifters of any ability set grow to be extra assured and aggressive. Whether you’re a novice or a professional, take a look at the all new RDS competitors spec drift automobile from Redcat in the present day.
