I was wondreing what would be a good starting drift car, I know hot to drift and all that but i have no clue about rc cars and motors
I was looking at a HPI Micro RS4 ready for drifting
What would be a good choice, i want something thats not too expensive but stays together and works good
Also, i want something thats already put together or extremely easy to put together
Whilst Micro Drifting is cool... the outdoors factor is limited..
study has indicated to you that the TT-01 is a great car, and he is correct, it is..
1:10th is a great scale to use for drift, there are more drift comps in this scale then there are for the 1:18th..
I have Drifted the HPI Sprint 2, TT-01, Hotbodies Cyclone S and the HPI E10..
The E10 is still too new for me to recommend to you even though, it is a great drifter it doesnt have the proven background and parts support of the TT-01..
The Sprint 2, even though it is a belt drive, offers superior handling and can last a long time if treated carefully..
The Cyclone S : It is still a Belt drive but has no belt covers for rocks to get jammed on but in saying that, the belts are more exposed to impacts..
So Here is what I would recommend
TT-01 for Reliabilty and Hop up support
HPI Sprint 2 for Handling and Track Drifting
Cyclone S : If you have access to Hot bodies parts it wont steer you wrong..
