I have no idea how rc drifting works ecept i need an awd electric rc car. I drift my z in my free time and thought it would be cool to do it with an rc car. I got a gift card to amazon.com and figured I'd use that money towards a starter car. I was wondering what I need to start out, what a good cheap base to start with? I was looking at this:

the enzo lot more people here use that chassis no offence but i kinda hate the body thinkin you should get a 350z body :] well read the parts included and what you need http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDYC4&P=0 one thing is it say you need two servos but i dont know why... but forget what it says just get the two servos just incase one fails on you for a while :] as for tires goto your hardware store and get an ABS,orPVC pipe cut them and mount it on your rim :] or get two orders of these http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...p?&I=LXLTV0&P= pretty much a Battery: 6 flat pack with standard connector,Charger: AC/DC Timed or Peak for 6-cell battery,Paint: Paint for a Lexan body,Radio Batteries: 8 AA size,well just check the car on tower hobbies it tells you everything :] bai take care make the right choice!!! :]

hmm the alloy damper says it prevents drift you want drift ill go with a aluminum dampers,GPM alloy shaft sounds nice :],your gonna need oil for shocks im thinking. Un less their gonna come preoiled, as for the heat sink and motor mount are gonna provide better cooling :] did you buy the transmiter,receiver,crystals,batteries including pack,charger,and paint??? :]

oh i forgot and the servos? and drift tires?

IDK what drive shaft or dampers to get though... and I have paint

allot dampers and aluminum ones are same thing
they dont prevent drifts
get tamiya trf shocks
best shocks out their imo

hotbodiesboi123

lol i guess you should just work on springs and oil setup after you get the alloy shocks or aluminum ones
