ETA Prime's Easy and Cheap Drift Build for the Dotson 510: A Beginner's Dream

Hey guys, it's ETA Prime back here again, and today I just wanted to do a quick, easy, and cheap drift build for the Dotson 510. This is a very inexpensive build, and very easy to drift if you're just starting out. So, let's go ahead and get the car.

I already have a few of these, so I'm just going to buy a new one here, it's uh Dotson 1970 doson 510. I'll just go ahead and do a white on this. We're going to upgrade shop next, and first things first, we're going to go ahead and do a motor swap and put a rb26. This is bringing it up from 96 horsepower and 100 foot pounds of torque to 287 horsepower and 289 foot pounds of torque. Now, the engine cost more than the car, so all right for tires, we're going to go ahead and set the best ones we can here, and we're not going to mess with any of this.

We're going to upgrade all of the drivetrain, so we'll do the clutch, transmission, drive shaft, and rear differential fully adjustable. Next up for the uh platform and handling, we're going to do full race breaks, full fully adjustable suspension. We'll do a front roll bar anti-roll bar or sway bar and a rear sway bar. We'll go ahead and throw a cage in it, and we're going to lighten it up all the way.

Now, we just need one more thing, two more things, we'll go ahead and put a cam in it, and we'll do the first cam here that'll bring us up to 311 horsepower and 295 foot pounds of torque. We will put a flywheel to get the revs a little quicker now that brings us up to a five 98 B Class.

Let's go ahead and hit X and go to our tuning setup. I'm going to throw the front tires at 26.5 and the rear at 25, that should work. For camber, we're going to go 2.1 in the front and in the rear, I'm going to go 1.6 for toe in the front, we'll go to five for the rear. We'll hit up four and we're going to go for our angle all the way up right height, you want to drop it all the way down and then bring it up three notches on the front and rear.

And one last thing, I want 100% acceleration and my deceleration, so I'm going to put it 10%. Let's go ahead and test drive.

powerered car it's great for um if you're just starting out drifting in fours and six and it's inexpensive to build it's uh easy to correct if you over steer so let's go ahead and warm these tires up and see how it does oh is start losing it a little bit just upshift and she should correct herself this low powered little lightweight car here this is great for just learning how to drift and starting out it doesn't pull a long drift line so there's not much error go ahead and leave you with a Lap with the um stock cameras here so appreciate you guys watching you like this if you enjoyed
