Anyone here got one of these? I just bought a MS-01D RTR R35. Just wondering if anyone has one. Post up some pics or tips you may have. |

I have three MSTs MS-01D Pro VIP FS-01D Pro VIP XXX-01d Pro VIP All three are great. The rtr is a great out of the box car. I would upgrade all the uprights to aluminum, all the turnbuckles to left/right adjustable and get a one-way in it. Also plan on a sensored brushless set up, 10.5t or 8.5t. R2 hobbies HPI T-drift knock-offs for the street, cuz they're really cheap and wear just as fast as the HPIs. Also get a fast servo, Bluebirds are cheap so buy a couple. When you go drift, chalk out a track and practice. Just free drifting doesn't teach you much, once you're confined to a track layout you really start learning how to control it. |

I love KO Propo lower profile servos. I know nothing about traxxas servos. MST does not support Hitec so they do not make a 24 spline servo saver horn, FYI. |

| Re: MST Drift car Couldn't I just buy a different servo saver for a hitec? I was looking at a Trackstar 10.5T brushless system and a blue bird servo. Is this a good servo? I don't want to spend more than $15 on a servo.

You could, but it's easier said than done. They're compact with a long arm. Most of those type of arms need to be bought in several pieces. A Yokomo saver will work great, Tamiya is too short. Most other companies are built into the bell cranks like HPI.

That's slow. The slowest to buy is .11sec. There are some really fast bluebird servos for $13 each but get two, cheap parts are not reliable.

All the numbers look good. Bluebird is great. Turnigy is unreliable as hell but if you have good experience with them then maybe it'll work for you. Alot of folks go with HobbyWing who happens to be the nmother company of the higher end Speed Passion electronics. The sensored end of Hobbywing runs close the same price as SpeedPassionUSA. I like the Reventon Pro ESC. Speed Passion America online store |

I know. The Reventon R is around $80 and good for 70a, more than enough for a drift car. |

Well since Tsuiso hobbys was unable to get the car to me in a reasonable amount of time got a refund and went on ebay and bought the red evo version of the RTR.

Nice! I think you'll be really happy with it. Several in our club run them. I think I'm soon to be an owner of one as well |

Ah, ok 50%CS. It'll be a little tricky getting used to it. |
