Default RE: Rc Drift cars

first of all, belt is not better than shaft for drifting, and is not more durable. I shaft wont strech like a belt will, and a belt you might have to replace if it is streched, and on top of that, a good aluminum shaft will provide a much better response off the line...

Next, there are tonnsss of good cars, if u want a high end car get a yokomo, if u want a good car for a good price get a tt-01, or something like that. Kits are good becuase u can choose your electronics, and maybe save a little money. Idk if uve had any experience with rc cars, but if your new to this, u might not want to get a kit, becuase u will have to build it, which could get tricky.

Any electronics are fine, get a high speed servo though, and make sure to use an esc, and not a rotary speed control that comes in tamiya kits. When u get a motor, get something will higher turns if your new, becuase it will be easier to control, but if uve been into this before, than just make sure not to get anything too low, because your not really gonna need it.

Any tc body will do, and for tires, u can get specialty drift tires, or make your own using a set of rims and 2"pvc or abs piping to get u going sideways.

Good luck
