Best Upgrade for MST RMX RTR RC Drift Car (Futaba Gyro and Controller)!

We have had this RTR version of the MST RMX for awhile now.

This vehicle is very popular, as it is still oneof the BEST choices for folks who are looking to get into RWD RC drift. It handles well and is one of the few RTR RWD drift cars that are available.

With all of that being said though, it is not perfect.
The stock MST gyro really is lacking in total control and feel.
Still - the BEST upgrade I have found for this vehicle is getting a good quality gyro and controller.

My go-to gyro is this Futaba GYD450. https://amzn.to/3tCkeUE
This gyro provides a smoother drift and better feel than anything else I have ever driven or used.

This gyro alone will really help unlock the potential of this MST RMX, as it is a huge upgrade. However, it really does get better when you pair it with one of their controller also.

I chose this Futaba 4PL / 4PLS because I could get it cheap on eBay. I believe I got it for less than $100. The key with this, as I show in the video, is getting a controller that will allow you to control the 3rd channel in both a positive and negative setting. This allows you to trigger the AVCS mode, which is a "slow-return" for the steering. The AVCS mode really helps smooth out the drifting motion.

If you can't find a 4PL / 4PLS, then here is the newer version, the 4PLM: https://amzn.to/3TChj93
A slightly cheaper option that still gets you working is the Futaba 3PV: https://amzn.to/3V3kXKg
