if you already have a radio,you can pick up any of the tamiya TT-01 kits,with the esc,for about $100.00-$120.00. your best bet,would be to get the TT-01D kit,which has bearings,and some other essential upgrades,for $135.00 from most suppliers. thenrun the stock drift tires with that kit,or,pick up some black ABS pipe,(from RV/motorhome supply companies,check your yellow pages) and make your own drift tires. any decent peak charger,and some good nimh stick packs,and have fun.
