Hello to all. Well I have been reading lots of posts here to try and gain some knowledge for drifting cars. I have been racing RC for over 10 years, mostly 1:8th scale onroad. So I have lots of racing knowledge and experience. However I got a wild hair to want to learn Drifting. My question is pretty basic and I do understand that ALL cars are capable of being drifters. I have like 4 or 5 electric Xray chassis just laying around (3 have NEVER been ran) and was curious if I should give one of these a try to get my feet wet in the drifting thing. Or should I consider purchasing one of the cars that seem to be more popular in the drifting scene. I have yet to see anyone with an Xray. I do have an older Tamiya TL-01 (I think) chassis. It's shaft drive with the shaft on the side and a stick pack battery goes sideways in the middle of the chassis. It was given to me years ago and never used it for anything. It's definately an older "starter" type chassis. I like the shaft drive cars better for the fact of pebbles and road debre won't mess up any belts. The Tamiya is in good shape, but don't like the fact that your limited to chassis tuning and gearing options. Also the plastic shocks don't use oil and such. You can tell I'm use to full race machines. Or should I just purchase a car already designed for drifting? Sorry for the long post, I tend to get over detailed on stuff. But I have been trying to do my research, but there are a LOT of posts here. As far as getting a NEW machine, what would you guys suggest if you think I should go this route? The Tamiya TT-01 seems to be popular and I like some of the Yokomo cars as well. I also noticed the new Losi drifer however I think it only comes as a RTR. I don't want or need an RTR, I have TONS of electronics laying around so would prefer to stick with a GOOD kit, actually whatever the BEST kits that are available is what I would want. Money is not an issue. I will keep researching, but thought I would throw this post out in the mean time. Thanks for everyones input. Again, sorry for the long post. Later everyone!
