How to choose?
- In the descriptions and/or titles, the type of ground suitable for the tires is indicated. But one brand stands out on all surfaces: Rêve D AS-01 are the most widely used tires in France.
- MaxSpeedTechnology "MST" ready-to-ride kit: RMX 2.5 RTR
Budget: approx. 500€
-
All our RTRs are identical, only the body style changes.
-
This car is really a radio-controlled "RWD" drift car that will give you real drifting sensations.
-
It comes fully assembled and tuned. All you'll need is a standard-size LiPo 2s 7.4V battery, available here: Our standard battery range, all batteries in this category are compatible.
-
And a battery charger. We recommend the Quick T2M charger (cables supplied), which will charge the battery in 2h if you take a 4000mah, or a more expensive charger that will charge faster. If you take a charger capable of charging at 4.0a and you have a 4000mah battery, you'll be able to charge it in 1h Click here to see our range of chargers.
With a 4000mah battery, you can ride for between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the surface area.
The higher the number in Mah, the longer the range, but the heavier the battery - a heavy battery makes the car less agile.

Expert kit:
- We decided not to make a kit, because the choice is so vast and the experts know the components and their needs very well.
It is often necessary to solder (except RTR MST) the wires from the speed controller to the motor, and/or the plug that connects the speed controller to the battery. Nothing complicated, and we've made this video to help you carry out this operation with complete peace of mind:
-----------------------------
Of course, these lists are not exhaustive. You can choose other elements to integrate into your kit, and don't hesitate to contact us for further information.
The composition of your kit will depend first and foremost on your budget, then on your knowledge and then on what you're looking for in terms of performance or aesthetics. That's why it's almost impossible to make a tutorial that's ideal for everyone. Ask around (club, association, etc.), or social networks... But be VERY careful: many people on the networks think they know best, and it's often the beginners who advise the newcomers. So, of course, it's a good idea to learn more about social networks, but you really need to sort out what people are telling you or advising you.
There you have it, we hope we've managed to shed a little more light on the subject?
And don't forget, Rc drifting is a leisure activity, so the main thing is to have fun!
Looking forward to meeting you on the track
