DRB-REW GL FTW!

What do we have here? A gold DRB-REW? YES!



extremely hard to photograph, but in person, this is off the chart awesome!

GCRCD 2017 03 07 - Blast & Chassis Check.

At the end of a steady session, there was some chassis checking going on... 

The latest addition at GCRCD is an SPL Made Full Yokomo YD-2 ...

but there's a whole lot more to compare.

GCRCD - RWD Chassis Mix

Hey what chassis is that?

While most of these start as plastic entry level chassis, once the tuning bug takes over... they become barely recognizable.

FULL TIME Rear Wheel Drive!

RE-Xtreme RC Checkpoint.

It's a good time to take stock of projects and directions.

As if this Yokomo S13 + Addiction aero wasn't looking good, sometimes you want to show off a bit more.

This is RC Royalty. Gold and Purple have long been the royal colours.

DRB-REW Tune

There are always more than one way to achieve a result. 

 DRB-REW... Rear Evolution Weight-shift.

Looking for some DRB or DIB parts. Maybe there's something here.

DRB-REW Test and Tune.

Dialling in the RWD means getting it all 'just' right.

MID WEEK builds REW + R32

It all starts with a bunch of stuff lying around.

DRB-REW 4 vs 2

This past weekend I had a lot of fun, DRB in RWD and 4WD is still awesome.

RE-Xtreme 2016 Checkpoint.

2016 will begin with a full RWD suite of drift chassis. So let's get ready.
 

Control is all out M12S with Sanwa BLX Servos and Gyros. Response is UP. Acuvance ESC and motors continue to be the Silky benchmark for power delivery. so there is no excuse for driver inputs.

Rear Wheel Drive is the future of RC drift.

For me, it all started in 2013 with a gyro less plastic Tub. 2014 evolved with an Imadoki Drift Package that was replaced in early 2015 with this custom Drift Package-Drift Master as a weight shift style rear wheel drive prototype.  The idea of the exposed gearbox setup similar to the DRB influenced the purchase. Since then, slide-rack and mono-shock install up front. Extreme long stroke rear shocks and rear bias wight with high battery mount have produced a pretty good benchmark.

Currently performance is very very good. So I learned a lot about RWD setup on this chassis.

Until recently, this was my main CS chassis. A custom made mid mount DRb chassis based on the Guild'nOne chassis conversion set with GRK Slide rack options and DP suspension. Many ideas filled my head, as it was close, but not exactly what I was after. I needed more. More than Full OD.

So in mid 2015, I decided to develop my own conversion chassis set. The primary focus was to combine the lessons learned from DRB components that I have many of and my DP weight shift prototype.

I could have designed anything. Flamed or tribal, but not wanting to lose the Yokomo style, I decided to go with a DRB chassis image with the flexibility I needed for RWD.

Joining the Drift Package Catalog with the DRb catalog opens up configurations. The Prototype allows for 5 Servo locations, 2 Suspension variations, 6 Steering variations, 2 Rear Shock variations, diffuser options, Battery location options, and so much more. 

I think I have created something special here. It will allow owners to continue to evolve the DRB for years to come.

In 2016 I hope to continue the development process and complete similar designs for the DIB-REW and DP-REW.

As my chassis all move across to the RWD configuations, in the very near future. Stay tuned.

But first up and most important...Keep the Drifting Fun. Even the plastic chassis can bring the grin.
 

RE-XTREME RC DRB-REW Conversion Chassis

RE-Xtreme RC Rear Evolution Weight-Shift chassis conversion set for Yokomo DRB. 

Strong response from the initial prototype has led to a very limited production of 10 chassis sets. 

The design is a flexible platform for RWD conversion.
