Hey everyone, I'm a beginner in the rc drift scene. I have been looking at videos and looking at this forum and I really want to get into this hobby.
I'm in New Port Richey Florida and would like some advice to help me get started. I wanted to know what good brands to look for, and also I had a very important question
Do the Yokomo's come with just the chasis, or does it come with a remote controller too? Also any links to a combo package of an RC drift car + controller and all that. Since I'm new and all, I'm not entirely sure how to purchase my first rc car, and I don't want to screw up and it not come with a controller. Basically what I'm trying to say is a ready to drive rc drift car. But later on modify it down the road.

Price range?

JaySushi

I'm looking to probably spend anywhere from $200-$350, I'm only a beginner so a nice entry level car would be nice, especially a company with a variety of shells too. Not required but definitely a plus.

Sprint 2 Sport Drift... I just picked up one in a trade and I'd recommend it. All 190mm 1/10th scale bodies will fit. It's the standard, so not lack of parts here. You can go brushless or CS it later, and it's right in your price range.

JaySushi

Awesome, I'll look into those. I grealty appreciate the help!

Well my .02 is that as you have never had a Drifter you may or may not like it so why not get a cheap car like a Exceed Driftstar. A lot of people will knock them as junk but for just playing or finding out if you want to stick with it they are perfect and tough as nails!. I have bouncedoff and hit solid objects HARD with mine and never broken it yet.If you like it and want a more competition ready car later then have at it. Try Nitrorcx.com for a Exceed. Have fun and Good luck.

It's a good car, but you can save about $75 (Free shipping) if you look for a TT01ES XB on EBay.

If you read through the similar thread in this section I'm sure you'll be able to decide on a good vehicle for you.

JaySushi

Thanks for all the advice guys, I just picked up a HPI Sprint 2 Drifter Camaro today.

I get probably half an hour on mine running on a Duratrax Onyx 500MaH NiMh.

JaySushi

Did you mean 5000MaH or 500? Lol wasn't sure.
And if you don't mind me asking, what's a good charger? Since my stock one supposedly says it takes 6 hours for a full charge. I wanted one with more amps but not sure where to look.

SIRCC

B6 / venom charger @ your local hobby shop.

JaySushi

Thanks SIRCC, do you know how much that'd roughly run me?
