I am new to RC hobby.....prior i used toy grade cars 4 ten years... i am confused wid wat to purchase........LOCAL HOBBY SHOP in my country iz 360 kms away which only contains...kyosho, tamiya and thunder tigers

i lyk monstor trucks and on road sprint and drift cars.... i hav a budget ranging 4om 200$ to 300$..........now which car n which brand shud i select 4om da above three



immidiately need pro guidence!

tamiya makes some nice monster trucks and drifters.

so if there is good parts support for tamiya in your area go for it.

kyosho also makes very nice cars. even thunder tiger's cars are decent but i'd stick to tamiya and kyosho.

depends what you want nitro or electric. Also if you want 2wd or 4wd.

Seeing the Hobby shop is so far I'd probably stick electric in your case (I know in some parts of the globe nitro is not very easy to get)

Tamiya makes some good lower cost vehicles. other than them you probably would be looking at a bit more cash.

Also for batteries go to hobbyking.com. they ship from hongkong and have batteries and chargers insanely cheap(and there pretty good quality).

thanx 4 ur kind response kaiser01 yaa i am thinkin' to purchase an electric drift 10th scale car!!tamiya tt01 drift specification costing me $181 ....includind RTR chasis!kyosho drift specification costing me $245.... including RTR chasis and a 2 channel radio control built in!so wat du u say? wat shud i purchase?wel wat abt hpi E10 drift version?? i can import it.... dat wud also cost me atleast 119 pounds..... including everything! ......only 8 AA batteries not included.... but further parts 4 hpi wud definetily be a tough job to import n would cost me more!!only tamiya and kyosho parts are availiable in a sense dat hobby shops import on demand of the customer!!

thanx 4 ur kind response syco venom too wel yes... new to my knowledge... ohk i'll get my batteries and chargers from hobby king.comn i am interested in electric....4wd.... yaa i dun want nitro now coz it needz maintence....my next car wud definetly be a nitro but.... now i wana purchase an electric car first.... an upgradable car....!!so wats ur opinion?

Go with a Tamiya.

fastland.....thanx 4 ur response.... wel can u eloborate a lil bit dat how tamiya is better dan kyosho and others?and which chasis shud i purchase?...tt01?

agree
The E10 if it is anything like the EB10 buggy(that was based off the E10)it is not the best designed vehicle. A tamiya will cost similar and blow it away durability, and part support wise.

so which chasis 4om tamiya shud i purchase?....budget $200 to $300.......n i shud now forget abt kyosho now na?

Personally I just havent heard to much about Kyosho chassis being drifted. Havent owned one either. But i do own a Tamiya and love the way it performs. From what i hear you can get the tt-01 for under 200$ rtr Another thing i like about Tamiya is the detail of their bodys. If you can afford it then get a TB-03 or ta-05 i think. but the tt-01 will do just fine. It just seems that out of your available brands Id go with Tamiya.

umm ryt thanx for your opinion..
