I wish there was more on this forum. I was thinking of buying a tt01.

I just did buy a TT-01 from everything I had been reading in this forum and another forum on this website. I would say RC Drifting is a big thing, alot of people I work with are wanting to get into it, mostly because we are all car people and just can't afford to drive cars anymore.

Take me for example, the last time I was into this hobby was over 7 years ago, hadn't messed with it since. When I stopped, Nimh batteries where not even out yet and if they were it was high price and top dollar for them. When I started looking in to this stuff again, I was down right amazed at what technology had done for this hobby!!!

I have always loved drifting, I have drifted real cars on closed course not very well mind you but I have done a little bit, with a M3 to a 325i and even a Camaro (didn't work as well as the BMWs), however I just can't afford to do that anymore. The tires . . . way to expensive, the gas . . . not even going to start, maintance . . . yeah, possibility of wreaking . . . um yeah.

HAHAHA I didn't even know you could drift a RC car till about 3 weeks ago when I was looking for drifting videos online from the BBC show Top Gear and I came across a D10 RC Drift video on youtube and I was simple memorized, it was awesome. So yeah I get my TT-01 chassis today and I look forward to getting into drift :-D because from my perspective, its cheaper, you can do it longer, and its safer, and it looks just as cool! OH and you don't *@&#% yourself when a drift goes wrong!

When I first signed up all I was interested in was drifting but then I saw the db-01 and I fell in love but now I want a drifter so bad. Anyways I have always loved drifting its what got me into racing (oh and nascar to). I would much rather wreck an rc car than a real car!

Yes maybe. Or maybe more people are drifting but don't talk about it. Drifting is really fun but also really simple. Maybe thats the problem. With my 1/5th gas car and race trucks I always check the forums for advice on upgrading, tuning, and fixing. But my Hot Bodies Tailwhip drift car has been simple, fun, and reliable. I have worn out my tires and was unable to buy new ones at my LHS. So I made my own by painfully cutting PVC pipe with a hacksaw and making my own. Problem solved. Also fitted the car with LED lights for night drifting. Now maybe I will search the forums later for advice on a servo upgrade. But otherwise it's good as is completely stock with brushed motor. It drifts fine, I don't need to tune it for racing, and I don't break it every time I bash like I do with my off road cars. So although I use my drift more then any of my RC cars (almost daily since its fun at night), I don't post here often. But I am looking for a better faster drifter so maybe I will post later for advice on a new car (thinking maybe Xray TT01).

Status: online 		Dont think its dieing down its just getting more mainstream now like at events and clubs etc most people drift on there own or a group of friends and dont visit the events i think.
Alot of my friends have changed there cars back for speed so its not fun drifting on ur own so ive remodded mine back for speed again to do some racing
