Cyclone S....

I love the Handling and the Lightness of it..
Its a Great car.. I can Race on Friday nights and be drifing on Saturday mornings with nothing but Gearing and Tyre Changes...

I am not a fan of the TB-02, Even though it is a Plastic Version of the TB EV03 I still don't like them..

For drfting i would 2nd the Cyclone S

The tb-02 is a good chassis but its more built towards rally than drift and would need some mods done.
Like magnat says the cyclone can race and drift with a change of tires so you get best of both worlds there [)]

ok, would the cyclone s be good in carparks with some little rocks? I'm on the coast so i get a bit of sand in my turn around area, so i want to make sure i don't have to spend like 20 dollars every 2 months to keep it running, i can handle if it's like 6-7 months

Belt drifters take a little more matenience then shafties but its worth it.. They Cyclone S' Belt System is Pretty open and shouldn't be bothered too much with sand particles but in saying that you will have to inspect and clean after every run.

I've decided to go with the cyclone and just do a little more set up on the drivetrain, any suggestions for the diffs(lock unlock tight spool one-way etc...)

The Cyclone S drifts fine Stock, they have Ball Diffs so just tighten up the rear one if you find you need to ..
