Rc Drift cars
 

sup i read some of the posts here and they were helpufull
but this is the ultimate question
what to get ?????

electric or nitro i kinda got to the conclusion that electrice is kinda better for drift and thats what the pro's use 4wd electric
and also learned that belt is better but the drive shaft is more durable right ??
i wanna get a good car not a crappy begginer one
i'll learn with it 2 better than buying 2 im a fast learner so i wanna get somthin proper

what u guys think i should get ???
and is it better to buy in parts or are there full kits ?? links pls
tyre choise ?? and replacments??

what about controlers are there special ones for drift ?
what kinda surface or anytarmac would do ??

pls help :)

Tamiya TA03 F dude, check mine out, Its the ultimate drifter some would say.

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

first of all, belt is not better than shaft for drifting, and is not more durable. I shaft wont strech like a belt will, and a belt you might have to replace if it is streched, and on top of that, a good aluminum shaft will provide a much better response off the line...

Next, there are tonnsss of good cars, if u want a high end car get a yokomo, if u want a good car for a good price get a tt-01, or something like that. Kits are good becuase u can choose your electronics, and maybe save a little money. Idk if uve had any experience with rc cars, but if your new to this, u might not want to get a kit, becuase u will have to build it, which could get tricky.

Any electronics are fine, get a high speed servo though, and make sure to use an esc, and not a rotary speed control that comes in tamiya kits. When u get a motor, get something will higher turns if your new, becuase it will be easier to control, but if uve been into this before, than just make sure not to get anything too low, because your not really gonna need it.

Any tc body will do, and for tires, u can get specialty drift tires, or make your own using a set of rims and 2"pvc or abs piping to get u going sideways.

Good luck

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

you dont necessarily need a high speed servo. a standard one works fine for drifting. but yeah all that other stuff mentioned is good. ESC and such. id suggest the Futaba controller with the ESC combo good deal.

factory tc4 is the best

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

Seeing how the factory team TC4 doesnt come RTR, how are you helping? Your not.

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

acually with a belt you dont have to worry about tourque steer. it really doesnt matter. both drift.
the ta-03 is one of the best and its a belt. i think

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

:eek:

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

sorry just saying that it is debatebly one of the best out their

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

i use a RTR TC3 and it works fine. dont listen to the guess telling you to spend a boat load of money. you dont need to. you can get the TC3 RTR for about $220. i am in love with mine. over time i have made some major mods to it so its not the same car. but it is a GREAT drifter.

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

im too lazy to search if it is.but in my knowledge it is. so there

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

what yokomo kit is the best for drift??? like their highest end car?

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

no. i think the SSG is decent. imo the yokomo drift kit is a super downgraded version of their Touring cars. the high end cars i think shouldnt be used for drifting because in drifting you still crash i feel a bit more than grip racing.

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

btw, i said a high speed servo, because im running a standard servo, and im not getting a fast enough reaction time to give my car a good flick, but i guess if u have a good radio it wouldnt be a problem, im using an old traxxas tq3, haha, it sucks.

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

Who says shaft is best for drifting pffttt, I have 2 belt cars (TA03F, Losi Street Weapon) and 1 shaft (TC3) and the belt is waaaay better

The TA03F is supposed to be the perfect drifter (being re-released as a drift spec car too!) but I'd say the STW is even better :D

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

i think its already out^^

belt and shaft are equal. doesnt really matter.

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

ok so the RTR TC3 would be a good choice from what im' readin here but would i need to buy it with some upgrades ? or should i wait ? tyres or the original are good ???
what abot body's ?> and rimz ? what goes on it or do they all fit ?

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

ok get the tc 4 rtr. just a new tc3.

uhh upgrades are good but not really needed.

as for tires you need plastic pipe called pvc or abs. (call your local hardware store to check availibility) (or check you local plumbers)
you use that to put on a bare rim. or ontop of tire.

all rims fit but get a car wheel not stadium truck. if you want a body make sure its 190 mm

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

Don't use PVC, don't use PVC, don't use PVC.....etc.

ABS is much better and is what the dudes in the SG vids use (thin wall grey ABS)

Kev

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

*** are you saying? pvc is good.

use it use it use it. sg drifters uses pvc also .....

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

lolz... if you actually took the time to read any of the credits they all say " stunts made by using PVC tires " or something along the lines of that in each movie... NUB !!

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

is the TT-01 d a good drifter j/w thanx

RE: Rc Drift cars
 

Trust me. Getting a beginner car is a must if you're new to the hobby.

I HIGHLY suggest the TL-01 or the TT-01. Go get the RTR version of either of those on Ebay or somewhere else. Also, don't take these beginner cars as "sucky" because they don't suck, and if you were to work with like a TC4 or a Pro 4 from the start, you'd probably totally f*** up.
