If Your Just Beginning to Drift and are new to RC cars in General... then Dont Start with a Nitro..

Your Best Bet is to go Electric, there is no Tuning, Uses a renewable Energy Source and you wont get frustrated when the Damn thing just wont start...

Electrics have built in Fail Safes, Brakes and offer better degree of control for a beginner and wont cost a fortune to run..

An Electric can be drifted on home made Poly pipe tyres which cost next to nothing where as a Nitro on Polypipe tyres is a recipe for destruction.

Start with an Electric, then Move on to the Nitro once you have your car control up..


If Your Just starting out, I would look at the good old Drifter classic, the Tamiya TT-01.
If you can afford to Get a HPI Sprint 2 then I would Endorse it as it is a Brilliant Club racer and a great drifter as long as you are careful to inspect the rear belts frequently
