So who actually has one of these? I'm planning on buying one this weekend and I wanna know if it's any good .. Like what kind of upgrade parts can be used for this ? Because the only upgrade parts I see are the ones on the site and I wanna know if they use any other brand upgrades. Any other information on it would be nice. Thanks.

I want this car too but I don't want it to be like the electric car I had.It takes four hours for the battery to charge and I can only use it for around 15 minutes.How long does it take for the battery to charge and how long can I use it for the Drift Star?

yadac123

how long the battery charge goes depends on your charger. If you use the brushless system get a better charger for the lipo battery.

the stock battery charges in about 1 to 2 hours and it last about 15 minutes.

What about the 3000mah battery?

yadac123

running time is about 25 minutes or so.

Andy

The charging time is the same?

yadac123

it will be longer of course but if you use the stock charger it output 9W.

3000mah battery is 21.6W

21.6 divide 9 = total charging time.

BrushLess COOL! Now if you go brushless can you use a LIPO battery? Also were can you get replacement body's for these cars. I just got one with the older Toyota looking body and want something a bit cooler. For a $100 bucks its a cool car. Now how many turns is the motor? I have a Traxxas 12T motor from my rustler and it looks to be the same size. I thought the stock drift star motor was a 10T motor. I may play with it and stick in the Traxxas motor to see what happens FYI it is a 550 sized motor.

You can use a lipo battery, that wont hurt anything. The one thing I would check before you start sawpping out motors is if the ESC can handle the one your putting in there. If it can't handle a lower turn motor you will kill the ESC.

For 99 you cant go wrong here... I'd drop a 3000Mah LiPO in it and run it till the motor fries, then go brushless.
I don't like the Body design of the Exceeds to I would also grab a Yokomo Body set so the car looks expensive as I get passed up buy the real yokomo drift spec cars =)

actually i got this car for christmas after messing with a toy. i did get the brushless upgraded one for 156ish which is a complete steal compared to other cars of the same type....its ia nice drifter overall and really is easy to control. i never messed with rc cars before in my life so i am a true beginner. after drifting a little bit i started to order some extra parts to customize it to my liking, i put a set of regular rubber tires/inserts/wheels today and actually seen that even though its a "drift" car it is a fast and controllable regular car as well, and VERY FAST!!!!!! after learning why you are supposed to glue tires i realized how sharp it turns without flipping/losing control....absolutely stunning job exceed on the quality of the car. i will probably be buying a couple more soon when i get into amateur racing this summer, wish there was a way to order the driftstar chassis only without tires/wheels/body but still a bargain no matter what
