RC Mini Drift Trike

My favorite motorsport is drifting. There's something magical about watching a car enter a controlled slide and being inches away from a wall and another car. Drifiting a full car is expensive so I thought I would get into rc drifiting instead. Turns out the hobby of rc, especially drifting, is also expnsive! I was lucky enough to get my hands on a MST RMX 2.5 drift car for half the asking price. The first time I got my rc car into a nice flow around the track, it was like being in a trance. After that experience, I decided to create a 3D printed kit that would be both affordable and easy to build. I experimented with cars, hovercrafts, and even converted slot cars, but nothing compared to my MST rc drift car. My previous prototypes didn't work well because of the complex steering geometry required to enter a controlled slide. Then I remembered I used to have a drift tricycle when I was a kid, and its steering mechanism was simple. This ultimately led me to make an RC version of a drift trike. I made several prototypes until I came up with the one in this Instructables. If you decide to make this drift trike, I hope you find lots of joy in the art of drifting.
