Sup guys? I've been away from the RC car scene for quite sometime now (got tired of a hand me down truck running for 2 minutes then going round and round in circles) and would like to get back into it. I've been doing the RC plane scene for the past 2 years now, but would like to extend that onto the car scene (more specifically drifting). I've been looking at the HPI sprint 911 Turbo, but I've read that it doesn't offer quite as extensive as a list of hop-ups like the Pro4 does. I'm also looking for faster speed, but nothing insane. Maybe 40-50 MPH.
The Pro 4, you basically have to buy parts and put them in the car. What would be the best route as for a motor to achieve the speed that I'm looking to be running?
Would a 12 turn motor be too much?
Also, what are other semi-cheap parts that I would need to throw in it?
And last but not least, what size of body do I need to purchase? I really like the yellow Porsche body up at the top in the banner, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Your guys' input would greatly be appreciated!!!
By the way, I've searched all night, so don't give me the "use the search" excuse. I'm just looking for some quick feedback on how to set this to be a fast carpet car/fun drifter on the side.
For those that help me out, the internet beer is on me!
