Introducing the Bingo Hachi Drift Car Chassis Kit
Bingo Hachi Drift Car Chassis Kit
Bingo RC Designs’ latest product, the Bingo Hachi Drift Car, is a mid-motor, fixed rear axle RC drift car designed for ease of construction and drifting. The name “Hachi” translates to “Bee” in Japanese (kanji 蜂), following the Bingo Wasp line of RC chassis products.
The Bingo Hachi boasts a simple and straightforward build process, utilizing fewer parts and simplified sub-assemblies. It comes out of the box with exceptional performance, featuring stable and controllable drift characteristics that are suitable for both novice and experienced RC drift car drivers.
The Hachi offers flexibility for customization and configuration changes, allowing users to experiment with different weight balances, front-end configurations, and motor placements.
Several innovative features are incorporated in the Hachi, including a shock-less design with the rear axle supported by flexing carbon arms and a TPU dampener. The front end employs a simple MacPherson-like strut setup and a TPU lower arm hinge to provide flexibility and dampening. The motor mount features an adjustment plate that simplifies the process of setting the pinion and spur gear mesh.
As a complete RC drift car chassis kit, the Bingo Hachi requires only electronics, wheels, and body parts to be completed. The Hachi kit incorporates numerous 3D printed parts made from a highly durable special PCTG filament. These 3D printed parts not only reduce the overall cost of the kit but also enable rapid improvements or modifications if required. Additionally, they enhance the kit’s flexibility for enhancements, such as different body mount holders.
Pricing and availability details will be announced soon!

Rear Fixed Axle
The rear fixed axle offers a remarkably stable drift profile. It is securely attached to the chassis using flexible carbon arms integrated into the lower deck. Consequently, there’s no need for an oil-filled shock or any maintenance. Additionally, the wheelbase can be adjusted by modifying the rear axle mount points.
Simple TPU Dampener
The rear axle is dampened by a simple TPU spring structure, which minimizes jittering on the chassis’s rear end while allowing side-to-side rotation.
Unique Front Lower Arms
The front lower arms employ a TPU hinge design, simplifying the installation of the lower arm assembly without the need for multiple toe blocks, spacers, hinge pins, and other components. The TPU material enables the arm to flex while also providing damping on the front suspension.
Simple Front Upper Arms
The front upper arms are designed to use a MacPherson-like strut with a simple spring and a fixed upper arm. The upper arm mount can be moved forward or backward to adjust the caster.
Motor Mount Adjustment Plate
Motor Mount Adjustment Plate
The motor mount features a position adjustment plate, enabling precise pinion and spur gear mesh setting by adjusting the two set screws on its sides. Subsequently, the motor can be securely locked into place using the main mount screws on the 3mm thick carbon fiber motor plate.
Flexible Battery Placement
Motor Mount Adjustment Plate
The upper deck offers a highly flexible battery placement system. It features six mounting locations, three transverse and three inline battery orientations. The Hachi kit includes the Bingo Universal Battery Holder, and also provides the standard mounting locations for the Bingo High CG Battery tray.
Easily Adjustable Ackerman
Optional Upper Deck Supports Custom Front-End
Easily Adjustable Ackerman
The direct drive steering servo configuration allows for easy Ackerman adjustment. The servo steering plate has an indicator showing the default position of the servo horn screw, so relative adjustments can be easily identified. Note all the extra mount points, which allows for custom front-end implementations.
Fixed Rear Axle
Optional Upper Deck Supports Custom Front-End
Easily Adjustable Ackerman
The Hachi utilizes a fixed rear axle and spool drive, making it straightforward to integrate into the kit since the rear axle is already pre-assembled. The drive shaft can be extended or shortened, accommodating various wheelbases. This fixed rear axle contributes to a highly stable drift platform, effectively minimizing or eliminating spinouts and facilitating easy high-angle drift turns.
Optional Upper Deck Supports Custom Front-End
