i dont think its worth buying. its 1/18th scale right? and cost well over 200bucks with the kit and pre-built cost even more. it could probably drift since its 4WD, I would suggest go with the 1/10th scale electric cars, ike TC3's, Tamiya's, TeamA., Orion and so on...

well maybe instead of buying the HPI, get a mini-t, they're a lot of fun plus they are cheaper!

I almost got one the other day, I already have 6 cars/trucks/buggies what's one more right? lol, I walked into the LHS w/ like $200 in my pocket, looked at the mini t's, there was one left, I figured, "ok, i'll get my parts and see what I have left" so I got all my parts and I had enough but some lady came and bought the last one in stock for her son [:@] [&:] me and my yap

[sm=punching.gif] if it was a dude
but they're a lot of fun with racing and bashing. SO MANY hop-ups...must...get...them...all! i wish i could, but to me thats just money down the drain. the only thing i did to mine was buy mini Trinity motor for it and i dyed the front and rear shock towers along with the front and rear arms. i have a red and purple theme going on since it came with a purple heatsink head and an antenna

I am going to get a Micro RS4 and when I do I will turn it into a drifter just for fun. I am going for the kit. I have all the electronics.

yea same... I may go get one if my grandma will buy it for me... and the electronics... now that I think about it, all I need is a Radio set (some cheap one like a blazer sport) and an esc... so like $175, not too bad... my first car was a micro.... traded it for an Evader St and that's what started my off road racing career

I just ordered my Micro RS4 kit - Got the Skyline kit and a Dodge Stratus and Beetle Racer as extra bodies. Now wait for it to come! With being over seas it usually takes me 2 weeks to get things here.
