yeah thats what i do if im at my dads, but for mums i just use this

heres some pics too, sorry u cant see the real outline but you can gather the size atleast
it looks, very untidy but thats because it rained so the chalk washed away, and im improvising, plus i needa sweep away the leaves, is their "bonus zones" in a real drift comp?
i tried to draw em in

Not too bad Champ.. but you dont seem to turn in soon enough or throttle pulse to hold the slide...

Keep practicing as your doing pretty good for someone who is drifting a Buggy..

yeah ill work on that just as soon as i get some new shocks... i somehome snapped the ball connecter off it so ill buy shocks and the stuff i need to make it on-road, and i think i need a new steering sevo too but hey, the car was cheap so who am i too complain, even after making it alloy with steering servo and shocks it'll still be less than a tl01 brand new XD

PS: is buggy harder?

the ESC, Receiver, servo and motor yes. the car has to take a 540 motor though, TT01 does but others u will have to check. The wheels, not always, the hex has to be the same size, if it is then yes you can.

okay mate.... i was only really looking at tt01 tb02 maybe if i can find one or hpi e10 BUT ive heard bad things so i dunno bout e10 the hardest part is finding a cheap tt01 or something.. and then pursuading the parents to let me get it... im sure ill get "you've got a perfectly fine one in your room" crap that i always get.... the cheapest ive found for a tt01 was probably 230$ au how bout you?

ur in the same boat as me, i had to tell my mum that i was getting a new one aswell, my mums response was, "you got enough rc things, save up for a car". lol. "But mum this one is better", "thats to much money to be spending on a toy brendon". So i have to sell my bonzer to get a new one now. I dont think my mum was taking me seriously about getting a new one until i told her im selling my car to get a new one, shes like wat?

Have fun telling your parents, its scary telling them coz u just hope to god they dont say no.

i tell my dad if i want something i already have and my mum if i want something new because dad says "sure you like rc's" and mum says "you already have one" but if its new dad says " you probably wont like rc's and it'll be under your bed never used again" mum says" something new for you to try" so i think ill ask dad, he'll prob say i needa fix the tl01 first though
postage is 38 bucks for me in brizzy

holy crap it is too :O:O i thought it was not HAHAHAHAHAH im such a noob, saves me alot of barganing with parents the first persuading point will be "now the little brothers can have a turn, and also you too dad" in an excited voice, so they think they get the tl01 with the good motor when im really going to switch it HAHAHAH... lol ill put the ball bearing set on it to start though, save me alot of hassle later on, and maybe alloy drive shaft

its called a Kit Package so its in kit form but it comes with the ESC, Receiver, Motor ect. All u gotta do is build it which is better so u know how to take your car apart for the future. Im looking at buying a TT01 thats in Cash Converters but if i cant get that then ill be getting pretty much wat your looking at, a Kit Package. U pay an extra 30-40 dollars for someone to build it for you ( RTR ), bulding is half the fun.
