RE: hpi e10 mazda rx-7. is it any good???need help quick!!!
I was gonna say what Aries already said. And "professional drifters" pay for parts. The majority of them would just rather have the best chassis and Yok has one of the best. And I'll agree that they're overpriced for the market. But, you gotta pay to play I guess. And sponsorship gets you free stuff, but again, you STILL pay for stuff. Just like in the 1:1 race/drift/show market.
As for the E10, other than the lack of alum. driveshaft, I think they're awesome out the box. Like Aries said, a bit slow on carpet, but ok for me (I think you're a faster driver than me anyway Hen). And, there's going to be a some upgrades to that in the near future. I think it's a great drifter for a begginner or someone who wants another car.
