Default Having a lot of fun with the HPI E-10

Hey guys,

Due to a certain member continuously badmouthing the HPI E-10 drift I decided to share my experiences. This car has been nothing but good for me. The tires are great on the model, they allow for slow speed drifts and high speed sweepers. At high speeds you even have to kick it one way then flip to the other to get a nice big drift going just like the real cars do.

I have had zero problems with this car, I also have a TT-01D so I do have something to compare it to.

This is a great car don't over look it, it candles everythign with ease and works like a charm, I will try to get someone to take videos of myself drifting someday. I drift during lunch break sometime, buddies too whenever I get the chance.

Here are a few pics...



The caliper actually stays stationary while the rotors rotate!

Yeah agree with you m8 even though i dont personally own one a few guys we drift with do and the only thing they said was the late release of aftermarket parts when it first came out,the cars drift just as well as the tams and cyclones do here,i like the layout of the chassis too its starting to grow on me now
I never really took much interest in HPI til i bought my firestorm and am very pleased with HPIs quality as ive alway been a tamiya guy.
I think when drift started to become mainstream everyone thought the companies were just jumping on the bandwagon etc but the HPIs lineup of cars all seem like good quality my m8s savage is near indestructable lol

My Savage is also unbreakable

It is easier to drift than my TT-01 because it has a slower motor. Also the motor is mounted up front giving it a forward weight balance, making it have more grip in the front so the rear can swing out.
