drifting
i am looking for an on road car that i can drift. i was looking at [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHWN0&P=0]this[/link]. i just want something to play around with since there are no tracks around here. cheap is the main thing. i dont want to spend a lot of money because nobody around here has one that i can race[]. i have a mamba max 5700 that i might try in it.

RE: drifting
Yeah m8 a tt-01 will drift well maybe add sum pvc tyres or pvc tape and it will drift on stock motor a mm would be overkill but it will be good for speed play
check over on the drift section for ideals and upgrades plenty of tt-01s in there [8D]

RE: drifting
Seems like a decent deal, even comes with a real charger, impressive or Impreza I should say.
You might want to get some bearings for it and what are frictions shocks?

i thought that it would be a good car for messing around with when the others are broken. might also try rally racing on the dirt. for just over $100 it is worth it.

RE: drifting
I have been looking into the same thing. I was looking at the HPI 1/18th scale drift cars the RTR is kinda expensive but the kit is a good price. Check this out.

RE: drifting
I have that car i just havent put the stage-d on it yet it actually drifts pretty well on its own when you put drift tires on it and i can control it pretty well. But its nothing compared to when you put the stage-d on it!
