1st Drift RC
Just a quick introduction, I work on cars for a living, the aftermarket end of the spectrum. I tune engines, build them, and the break them 
. New to RC Drifting but not new to drifting, been doing it for clsoe to 7 years now.
This will be my first RC Drift build ever, or any form of RC for that matter. I was shopping online at Tower Hobbies and build up what I hope will work for a Drift RC. Here is the equipment I plan on using.
3 DuraTrax Sanyo 1900SCR 6-Cell Flat Standard
1 Hobbico 905 AC/DC Multi-Charger
2 Futaba S148 Servo Standard Precision
1 Futaba 2DR 2-Channel AM/2 S3003 Servos 78
1 Tamiya Nissan New Sports Car Kit TL-01
1 Tamiya RS540 Sport Tuned Motor 49/62
Is that a complete build or am I still missing something? I plan on using PVC/ABS for tires or even buying those specialized "drift" tires. WIll those "drift" tires bolt right up? Also what is the size of the stock rim? Please let me know what else needs to be added or what you would change. My budget is $400.00.

RE: 1st Drift RC
Totally agree dude, get youself on ebay, grab a spanking TC3, HPI Pro4, or if you can find one a Tamiya TA03F (front motor jobbie)
You'll find a ton of complete outfits and for 400 bucks you'll walk away with about 800 bucks of gear, and usually some spares too
