RE: Dbox
I had one in my RS4 Pro 2...
It's fun only for 23 seconds... It was more reallistic with the drift spec tires...
I would recommend you to perform a search in this site about that subject... You will know some scary facts about the Dbox, like it's a micro heli electronic gyro from Tamiya (G190) and it costs 3 times less than the HPI unit... I really respect HPI, but at this one... [&o]

RE: Dbox
If you practice long enough you will perfect the art of drifting, everything takes practice.
you can get it for 89 bucks on ebay, saveyour money a buy tires you'll need it for practice.

RE: Dbox
i got the car for xmas and it is my first... i bought the hpi tires with rubber on the sides and plastic in the middle. they help alot more then the stock ones that come with it. ive only driven it about 5-6 times and ive been getting better but i was just wondering if it was worth it or not.

RE: Dbox
Wow, it looks like this SIRCC guy just wants to promote himself so he gives out basic knowledge and posts some pictures of his club up, kind of advertising if you ask me, anyways If i were you, I would buy the thing, use it for a little bit and see how you like it, once you get good, take it out and sell it, then work from there, my friend did that and hes almost as good at drifting now as i am, he started 3 weeks ago i have been going for over a year....

a Simple Single Line in a Sig or avatar is appropriate... just not HUGE sig pictures...
As for the D-box ... If you can't slide without one, you were never meant to slide at all...
If you need a fancy Gyro to do all the work, then your only doing things by half...
Practice and you will soon see the benefits of mastering the art of the slide without training wheels...

RE: Dbox
you are just a basis member wanting to dictate my listing, if you dont agree with it fine.
Show some respect, i don't use a D-box. Envy is a form of admiration. Thank you.

Don't you have Central Park?...
Or just put some onroad phatline tires, spinners, escalade body and go pimpin' around Tiffany's...
Seriously, I trade my ol' Pro 2 for the Savage... I don't have photos online right now... But, it was an all blinged out 350Z for pieces of Savage in boxes... But I have an abbandon MX track a couple of blocks from home and no place to drift (The 1/10 is way too big to drift in the living room!)... It was worth the risk...
Take care, amigo!...
