RE: RC car noob help!
On that budget you could get a goodused HPIRS4 3 and then upgrade the chassis to the RS4 3 Drift Chassis, which is more balanced for weight distribution. If you are still having trouble sliding, hpi sells a "D-Box" to help with counter steer, which is the main difference between the 3 and the 3 Drift. That alone is $130 at TowerHobbies though.
