hello,
i usually hang out in the traxxas truck section cuz i have a t-maxx but i wanted to know wat is a good starting car for a noob. nitro or electric? I live in CO anyone who lives there say hey!

nitro or electric is only your choice dude they both have pros and cons ie maintaince etc
if youve run a nitro before you will know what i mean,drifting isnt so much about speed but style so pick which is better for you.
personally i hated nitro all the cleaning and tuning put me off as electrics is all about "charge and drift" [8D]
have a good read through this forum get your self a budget on what u wanna spend and let us know,lots of companies are doing drift kits now just dont go too cheap cos you will end up regreting it[]

if you wanna try ur hand at drifting fast stick some elecy tape over your t-maxx tyres and see how you get on,it does take a while to get right but the learning curve is great one day you suck and when you nail that first proper drift sidewayz your addicted lol

what he said : P

lol guys im leaning to nitro because i kno how to tune and such and how bout the t-maxx tape tires ummm i heard that ruins the tranny but im gonna try anyway!!!

i'd say electric. since there is nothing to tune, you could get yourself a team orion r watever fixed timing motor, slap it onto a tt-01, or ta-05, and get some hpi or yokomo drift tires with some nice rims.

you are more likely to blow up a nitro engine drifting due to the extreme amount of strain you rwill put on the engine with the high revs. I typically run nitro everything except my drifter.

by the way check out this forum for more people in Colorado, mainly the Denever area
