Default Help, what car to choose, alot of info inside

Im looking to get a GOOD quality rc drifter, Help to you pros out there.

thanks in advance, kenny!


First i wonder if gas or elec is better. I would assume gas as I did enjoy the gas ones ive owned more then the elec. The gas also will have more power to drift (not that it is really needed) Although the elec will have instant power where as the gas will sometimes have a slight lag...

i really like the Yokomo nitro and elec. Amazing set up, great bodies and strong motors. The only thing I belive maybe keeping me away is the fast that i heard they are VERY HARD to find parts for locally I was givin a best pice so far of 425 for the elec kit and I belive it was 650 for the gar kit, both are rtd (ready to drift) prices are in cdn funds!

Then the only other choice Id go with is the hpi rs4 3 evo kit, See now what i dont like about this kit is that its not very adjustable as in toe in /out and camber and what not. the engine is also rear mount so the weight is not best for a smooth steady drift but that kit is best so far of 420, BUT for a extra 230 i can get he stage d drift kit for the car that get s you the stuff to drift and makes it a mid engine set up.

issus is that id be spending ALOT more for the hpi drift set up then i would for the yokomo and imo the yokomo is the best driter out there. SO really i just like to hear everyones opions on this.

But another note, I hear the d stage kit for hpi is **** and im better just getting the 3 evo and using proper drift tires/abs/pvc.

Basically, i want a good fast car that i should be able to find parts for pretty easy. I dont plan on smashin it to much. maybe once and awhile off a curb while driting around it or whatever im drifting around
