hi guys as you can see i'm a noob and i 2 want to get into the drifting scene. i've bin snooping around this forum for a cuple of days and thought this is a cool place to get some answers. ok 1st ? for a drifting car what would be best gas or electric?. 2nd ? what cars would you guys recomend. btw i have like $200-250 to spend on this "project".. please reply and give me some cool ideas yeah?

thank you in advance

start of with electric if you are on a tight budget. i recomand the tt 01 and get ball bearings. then upgrade to a brushless

how much would a tt 01 run me?

100us max + radio, battery, charger

how much is the radio itself? does it have to be exlusevely for tt 01? or just a tamiya radio

any radio will work...it gets pricey after a while. If you can, try up that budget...driftin isn't going away for a while so you do have some time to shop around. Even though you're starting out...don't wanna go cheapy and then want to get something better...

hey thankd sdpnoy yeah i'm willing to spend like up to $300 on a RTR. so do you think electric is the way to go on a drifter car or gas?

people say that if you have money, you should buy the tc3 rtr or the tc4rtr. heard that car is great for drift and racing.

is the TC3 electric too , cuz i have only seen gas operated TC3's btw they look very cool, what kind of maintance does a gas car recuire ? would you recomend a gas car? please reply and thank you in advance.

I just bought a TT-01XB today for $109.00 it's pretty good for it's price range. It's RTR car just need to buy a charger and bettery. Put some electrical tape on the tires did some donuts and drift on a smooth pavement. Tried it on the regular pavement i.e. street boy the tape sucks. Time to buy drift tires or abs pipe. If I bought the abs pipe what size would it be?

I have an old radio from a nitro rustler will that work?

????

Well then get the TC4 RTR from www.TowerHobbies.com its only $239 and right now they have $25 off all purchases over $149. You just have to enter ad number 010PL at checkout

That TC4 would be a good way to go. All you have to worry about is buying a battery and charger...Don't know where you're from but you can buy 2" ABS pipe and make some drift tires. I just bought a 2 ft ABS pipe for 1.79 or something like that yesterday on my lunch break. If you can spend some change, I believe Yokomo has a RTR Drift Package...I think it goes a little more over the $300 mark
