in $$???

well there are a few dude, nitro or electric??...

electric... look at the tamiya web site... the choice of many...

not sure about nitro though, try www.hpi-europe.com... or look again at a few web sites, i hate nitro myself but it does look better than electric when it is mastered, my advice if your new to nitro drifting is keep the engine rich and chat to the guys here who do nitro drift...

Gotta agree with Crash alot

Nitro : Not Many and I dont like them and I dont recommend what I don't like (Nitro RS4 was my Nitro and got rid of it after 2 weeks)


Electric: TT-01 is a great choice, HPI Sprint 2 May be hard but possible..

Just ok?

masonn33.. that car will suck,,,,,!!!!

please dont buy it as its not beacause im not a nitro drifter, in fact wish i had the time for it!!...here is why you should leave it...

1...12 size standard engine will work, but it sucks, i would say an 18ss or 0.s15 would be better,
2... friction shocks....hell no!!, wont stand up well thith the slide
3... the camber and tie rods are not adjustable... thats just silly...
4... you would 100% have to upgrade them servos
5... that engine will over heat and at a richer running setting wont have the torque with out a lean setting!!

i would have to agree with A.U.S.O....one of the 3 he mentioned..

can i confirm please you have had nitro cars??... or are they new to you, also have you had an electric car before??.....im not picking holes, i swear!, but it seems you are new to the hobby so a easy set up car would be better like the 3 above, look at the tt01's maybe, but you need to be thinking of a car that you can almost just charge and go, ....

that one is better than the other car... when you run it in dude, do heat cycles... this will be impotant for a drift engine to survive!!...

msg back when it arrives or your ohter drift car if you find any so we can talk...

Whats the Attraction with the Nitro ??

Electric is just as quick more fun and costs less to run and Drifts BETTER!

i have loads of cars, none set for drifting, but you watch a video of a flat out cool looking nissan 350z bleeping its throttle, tuned pipe, revs peaking at 37,000rpm...

and then you watch a tt01 go WWHHIIZZZZZZZ......WWWHHIIZZZZZZ.... haha, i only do electric drifting but i can totaly see the appeal!!, and they do turn heads!!..lol

haha..

ive got a wicked idea!!!!....[X(]

i might install a truck sound and light kit, how cool would that sound!!.. the horn blowing so kids get out of the way of my drifts, the truck starting would make the tt01 look bad under the hood, dump valves that trucks have would also make it sound awsome...yes i think i may try that!!..

haha...
