http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFSK4&P=0
or is this the better one.??? im looking for 2 speed not sure if i need 2 whel drive or 4??
http://www.frontlinehobbies.com.au/S...ductID=0078108
this one looks very fast 3 speed gear box.... this is probably the better one out of all of em....

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

hi dude, the fustion will be very fast..lol, 3speed do shift, and would be awsome for long drifts....

dont no much about there setting on there engines but an if its run rich it should be o.k...

can someone on here please lets Aussiepilot know about the engine on this car??... i dont want to advise if they are not strong, it should be fine, and make sure you have a back up of parts, the evo 3 would be my choice, mainly cus i love hpi... always have, they have amzing customer service..!!

the duratrax looks awsome and has an o.s engine which are very good, but is a 3-belt drive, and i cant offer any advice on these..lol

4 wd is better, and more fun...

a shell will either be 190 or prob 200m... just check the car you buy befor hand that it will fit, i would say yes it would but ask the people you buy your car from as they do vary in size!!..:D

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

i noticed on here u can buy lights and reatr lights and so fourth Can u put these on all cars or do u basically have to build this uop from scratch??

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

hi dude, no you can buy light kits on there own, yoko do them, other companies do, bit of a pain but look good when set right!!...

thought of the car you want dude??...

is there anyone on here that has experience with nitro cars so they can help this dude choose a reliable drift car please....:eek:

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

Not much of a Nitro drifter, But Crash Alot is setting you up in the right direction!.........;)

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

cheers dude...^^^...

the more drifters the better in my eyes...haha

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

Yup, Happy Driftin[8D]

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

I have an rs4 3 with .12ss engine. I just got it an just started drifting. I love the way it drifts it a little hard to make it start sliding but when it starts to slide it is awesome. And the smoke from the pipe looks like the tires are smoking:D

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

here is a pic of it.

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

does any body fit onto this./???

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

i think any 200mm body will fit. The offset of the wheels might make the wheel come out too much or look like they are too deep, but you can fix that with spacers.

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

meh, Had a Nitro RS4. For about 2 weeks.. Sold it for the HPI Sprint 2 and Haven't looked Back..

Electric is much better for the Art of Slide but if you run Nitro Planes then go the RS4 Evo3 18SS

Batts pwn nitro all the time..
$40 Batter y lasts alot longer then $40 of Nitro..

After you burn up your first set of tyres in 40 mins then you will understand the attraction of Electric..


Electrics do the same kind of performance without the tyre chewing..

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

But you don't get the amazing sound of the engine.

RE: Hey there 200sx
 

Ah yes and its that amazing sound that pisses the neighbourhood off to the point where you cant use your car out the front on the road anymore!

The noise factor and where you intend to use the car is a major consideration that alot of people dont think about when the old electric vs nitro debate starts up. Not to mention the cleaning and other maintenance issues that go with Nitro. I always have a great chuckle at our local track when I roll up with my mates who have Nitros. We get there and I'm drifting within 5mins of arriving while they are still screwing around getting their cars ready for another 30mins. Then I get a solid 45mins out of my pack while they roll in every 18mins to squirt some more fuel in (and also all over the car sometimes hehe)

I'm not saying that one is better than the other I'm just saying that people need to weigh up whats going to be better for them because basing the decision on performance alone is a thing of the past since electric has now caught up and surpassed nitro in alot of cases.
