There isn't there isn't that much on hot bodies on here? They don't seem bad, how every I don't want to buy them whithout much info...and I don't have the money to be one of the ones that do have it if it isn't that good.

Nobody uses'em. Well, not NOBODY, but they're not really popular for drifting. I don't know anything about'em except their wheels break really easily. If you're strapped for cash, snatch up a TT01, through in a 19t motor, and call it a day.

I say get one. They are really good cars for drifting and gripping. 2 of my teammates use them, and it feels really nice. I say go for it!

HB really hasn't marketed anything for the drift world. The way HB/HPI are playing out things HB seems to be left for the serious race stuff while HPI is selling everything else. In general from what I have seen (not plenty as I have not followed RC drifting that heavily and have been away) most modern platforms are capable as drifters. I know there are other more cost effective platforms out there. But some the Cyclone S seems to be reasonable and you will have a great racer too

As to the wheels, I used a few sets of their MT wheels for a few years on my trucks, never had one actually break but I did find that they would deform over time.

If I get another job and can afford to throw down the cash after I buy the car I want then I will strongly consider trying it.

For the hotbody wheels, I'm only referring to the 26mm ones. They look great but they crack easily. That's the only thing I really know about HB cuz my buddy used their wheels a few times.

edit: You know, I'm thinking of Hot WORKS. Not hotbodies. disregard my stuff. my bad. [&o]
