BEST Beginner Ready To Run RC Drift Car
We’ve searched for the best beginner RTR (ready-to-run) RC Drift car and one stood above the rest.
MST RMX RTR 2.0 Mercedes AMG
The Max Speed Technology (MST) RMX RTR is by far one of the best purchases we’ve ever made. If you’re looking to drift without breaking the bank or are looking for an awesome gift, MST has some of the best options.
WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THE MST RMX RTR, IS THAT IT’S TRULY READY TO RUN
Every MST RC Drift chassis is ran through a full “drift” test which makes sure this RC drift car is properly aligned and tuned when you take it out of the box. You may even notice slight tire wear from the testing performed.
We purchased our RMX RTR 2.0 with a Mercedes AMG body from a local hobby shop. The MST RMX lineup also has other body shells like a BMW e30 M3, Toyota GR86, and even a Ford Mustang. The Mercedes was all our local shop had in stock, but we plan to change the body in the future. The only additional item we had to purchase were batteries for the remote along with a rechargeable battery for the MST RMX RTR. MST also makes chassis kits which DOESN’T include an RC car body, remote control, or battery which allows you to pick higher end parts if you wish.
But if you’re new to RC drift racing, then I’d recommend the ready-to-run version. The RTR option will also keep you within a reasonable budget. Customizing your setup with upgraded parts should be done after you learn to drift ;)
One other consideration is the type of surface you’ll be drifting on. The tires that come with the MST RMX are NOT made to drift on concrete or asphalt.
You’ll want to be drifting on a solid/polished type floor. If not, then you’ll ruin your drift tires extremely fast. Don’t ask how we know. Another option is to drift on a thin polyester indoor/outdoor rug which can be thrown over rough surfaces. Or you could 3d print some drift tires out of PLA like we did. Then you can shred, I mean drift all you want on concrete.
