Most come with some hopups. Cover the tires with electrical tape and you can go drifting.

i am just saying that i have heard lots of stories about people having trouble on ebay etc buying used RC cars, also you never quite know the condition they are going to be in.. and to top it off you dont get the enjoyment of the build! i have bought 30+ off ebay, but all NIB and from big Japanese sellers that i trust totally.
