Default My small stable.......

Here's my tiny stable of drift chassis.

#1 is a Losi JRXS-Type "R," modded to drift.

#2 is a Tamiya TA05 VDF, which is a first edition. I had this chassis assembled long before anyone here, in the states even knew what a VDF was. It cost me, all-up, shipping included, $270. Look at what they cost now! This chassis is CS'ed, at 1.60.

#3 is a Tamiya TA06, also modded to drift, but with an RSector carbon chassis conversion kit. Both the JRXS-R and TA06 are geared exactly the same, and use the same tire combos, so they both drift very similarly.

#5 is a shot of an ABC Hobby Genetic, modded to drift, and the electronics were somewhat "downsized" so it could all fit below the upper chassis plate. It works, and can run for 15 minutes on that tiny Lipo!

#6 is a Traxxas Ford Fiesta body that was a straight-fit on the Genetic, if I used 10mm offset wheels.

#7: Here is a comparative shot of the JRXS-R and TA06 side-by-side, to show their design similarities to each other. They are not twins, but enough design points are shared, that make them very similar in operation. Unfortunately, the JRXS-R is no longer available, which is a shame, since it could give both the Tamiya TRF417 and X-Ray T4 a run for their money!
