MST MS01 RTR+

Very nice car mate, ive liked the mst cars since i followed teshi's build it was a work of art the best on road chassis ive seen. It was all silver and or red alloy i think. Is your car another model carbon or did you buy carbon parts yourself. Ther all beauties tho.

 

I haven't seen teshi on here for a while i hope he's still drifting he became the goto guy on these cars. Amazing pictures too. Keep the build updated mate.

Cheers guys :)

Yeah, Teshi is still around. He used to have an FS-01 with the SSG carbon decks. The SSG is the silver kind, it has more flex than the regular MST carbon. I was advised to use the regular carbon bits as I run on carpet so the added flex in the chassis isn't needed to soak up little bumps and things you get running on tarmac.

So far it feels a lot more predictable than the plastic lower deck, that had loads of flex.

Resurrection!

 

I've been a bit slack on drifting this year but I'm right back into it now.

I fully rebuilt the dampers and I've been working on getting my settings on point so I can drive around on counter steer much more. Before it was all throttle and no steering so it didn't look very cool.

I've started playing around with weights too to help with the snappy dynamics.

On track with team Yokomo drivers Matt Tunks, Lasse Sorensen, Mitto Steel and RC Kingstar :)

I dug the old C35 shell out.

The video doesn't work so I'll try and YouTube it later.

Here's a shot on track with a few guys last night.

I tried out different wheels last night to see how staggered offset changed the car.

+5 on the front and +8 on the rear made it super fast coming out of corners.

I put wheel weights in the rear for a few laps and the rear grip was crazy, haha.

Yeh, I've tried that and couldn't do it so fair play to ya for being able to drift and film.

I'm coming down soul to have a drift with you at some point. Once im able to do it anyway haha

It is tricky, haha. I have a flappy case on my phone too so it was well in the way.

Do it, you'll learn so much down there.

Looking good, nicely setup ms, holds counter well! I must get back down there next week!

Cheers dude. It's taken a while but I'm happy with the set up now :) it's not very aggressive but I like to run it quite smooth with little snaps.

What days do you go to Soul?

Cheers guys. It was a bit sketchy because I was holding my phone and the controller at the same time. Haha!

Get one of these, they're ideal for keeping in your tool box as they're small.
