Redcat Racing 1/10 RDS Builders Kit - On-Road Electric Car Kit

The RDS, engineered from the ground up by Redcat, is designed for one specific purpose: to compete. This highly competitive rear-wheel drive drift car excels on surfaces commonly found on prepared RC drift tracks such as carpet, p-tile, and polished concrete. It can also be used on unpolished concrete and asphalt, although its full potential may not be realized on these rougher surfaces.

Ready to run, the RDS comes equipped with a 2.4GHz radio system, 540 3300kv brushless motor, 60A brushless ESC, coreless digital Hexfly Drift-Spec steering servo, and a drift-specific gyro. Gyros are essential for rear-wheel drive drift cars, allowing drivers to achieve true-to-scale door-to-door drift action. The included Hexfly GX-1 gyro automatically countersteers the car, enabling it to maintain a smooth arc through drifts. The amount of automatic countersteer can be fine-tuned by adjusting the gain on the gyro.

Competitive drifting is based on line, angle, and style. Judges look for how close a driver is to the ideal line, maintaining maximum angle throughout the run, moving through the course quickly, and making minimal corrections after committing to an angle. While skill plays a major role in achieving these criteria, it is also crucial to have a predictable drift car that is adjustable to the driver’s style. The RDS excels in this area with its lightweight carbon fiber-based chassis and adjustability. All aspects of the RDS can be adjusted to suit the driver’s needs, including camber, caster, toe, ackerman, roll center, wheelbase, and center of gravity. The motor plate can be mounted in three different positions, altering the car’s chassis roll and weight balance.

Key features for p-tile and polished concrete set-up include a lightweight carbon fiber-based chassis, multiple steering link positions and sliding ackerman, and readiness to accept an LED light kit.
