Drift Car
 

Hey Guys!
I'm new to RCU and I am thinking about getting into Gas RC Drifting. I figured that I would start out with getting a Drift Body/Motor. I was wondering if this one was good, http://www.modelflight.com.au/hpi_ra..._drift_kit.htm , or if anyone knows a better or cheaper one, or even if what I found was a good price. Thanks.

You can find the Stage-D kit for around $150 on ebay...but it's not needed, you can learn to drift really well with just a little bit of practice....start off by putting electrical tape on the rear wheels of your car...or get HPI's drift tires...i have the drift tires and they work fine for me :)

ahh. Thanks man, but if I buy that kit, will it turn out looking like this picture? http://sleekupload.com/uploads/staged.bmp If it does turn out like this picture, all i need to do it put on a shell/body right?

And, how fast do you think it will go?

The Stage-D kit is just to add to your pre-existing RS4 3 EVO, so you must own the RS4 before you buy the Stage-D....the Stage-D is just a kit that relocates the engine to the center of the chassis so there is even weight distributed on the car. So once the kit is installed, all you have to do is put on the body and you can drift (or try to)....as far as speed goes, expect it to go as fast as the stock RS4 Evo...about 45 mph...but with those tires, you won't have any traction (the whole point for drifting)....there is also a Stage-D gyro box that you can put on your car with the Stage-D drift kit installed...the box is supposed to make drifting easier...there's a video on the link you posted, that guy has the gyro box on there...the box isn't included in that kit...it's sold seperate.
