Project Traxxas XO-1D (1/7 scale drift car)

Here I am to share my 1/7 scale drifter!

It started as a stripped-down XO-1 roller (no body, electronics, wheels) that I bought brand-new from ebay.

It took a while to get it ready because everything R/C is hard to get here in Brazil (taxes, customs clearance, delivery service, etc), but the electronics and radio parts I already had as spares that I kept for my off-road rides.

So this is the XO-1D, mainly designed to be a drifter to play around the track where I use to race:

- pre-painted and trimmed Corvette body from KillerBody;
- drift tires and wheels (they come premounted) from the Exceed 1/8 MadDrift;
- Hobbywing SCT Pro ESC + SpeedPassion Cirtix slotless 2500kV motor;
- Sanwa HVS-ZS servo;
- Sanwa RX461 receiver paired to my Sanwa MT4 "blue carbon" (water transfer printing);
- Turnigy LED system;

In order to achieve a better off-set for the drift set of wheels I had to use Integy hex adapters for the Slash line of vehicles (+18mm in the rear and +12mm in the front).

I used 30k oil for the rear diff, but maybe a diff putty would be better at locking the diff, but I went for the thicker oil I had at hand.

Also switched the springs for a stiffer set (Integy 25lb rears and 22lb at the front end).

I am using 4s batteries (2 x 2s 5000mAh Zippys), and here are some pictures and videos:

This short one in slow motion is my latest and also the favorite:
