INTRODUCTION

So maybe you’ve been into finding the fastest RC car for the lowest price, you give it a shot and find it too expensive to go on, spending about twenty bucks (NZD) on just one litre of gas, now that sucks.

Let me introduce myself. I have no drifting skills whatsoever, as I am writing this introduction, I don’t even own an RC Car… unless you want to count the Nitro truck that I just brought, that is awaiting a new gear and to be flogged off to be someone else’s problem. Welcome to my life, whatever I buy turns to rubbish, apart from my wife, nah just kidding. Hopefully, not this time. You’re reading this guide thinking, “what the heck am I doing? Why am I reading a guide written by a low class, acne prone teenager who hasn’t even driven an electric RC car for over five years?” Well, I’m wondering the same thing too, and I’m the writer.

Chances are, we’re in the same boat, and we’ve got a bit of cash sitting on the table doing nothing. You want a new toy, but don’t want to spend much dosh. As I say for the second time, welcome to my life.

Now if you’re a smart techno dude wanting some great tips to eliminate oversteer, or to adjust the camber to slide at snail pace, you’re in the wrong place. I know nothing, but that is how I will learn. Read along as I write this darn long guide, a guide to not do the things that you shouldn’t do, even though that makes no sense whatsoever.







I thought it'd be fun.

I'll edit it as I go.
