RE: Need a Cheap Drifting Car
 
darn 170$ in AUD is like $250! i need to buy something like this but need the money. is it a wise decision to straight away replace the motor with a higher powerd one?

You can buy a tt-01 kit of ebay for about 75-90$ US it includes a motor and esc so there is no need to buy that right away although you may want to upgrade later. Buy a basic radio like the Futaba 2ph, airtronics blazer or hitec aggressor this will only cost you about 40-50$ US including the receiver and servo. Buy a piece or ABS pipe at your local hardware store for a few dollars cut some tires and all you need to add is a battery and charger figure abot 20-30$ for a 3000Mah stick pack and 50$ for the charger.
total cost about 200$
