Need help on deciding new drifter
 
Hey guy, I want to get a new drift kit, but I dont know which one. I currently owe a TC3, TT01 and Himoto Nascada, but I am only staying with the TC3. I am going to sell my other two. I want to get a kit so that I could build it but need to decide which one. These are my choices, TB02, TA05, HPI drift tureno kit, or TC4. Please help me decide

i got a TC4 and love it, if you like associated, get the TC4, its a good drifter. im deciding whether i should get the HPI or not. you should take a look at the Cyclone S too, its a nice car.

cyclone s is very nice. tc4 also very nice. as a drifter i would choose the cyclone, as a racer i would go tc4.

I say TA-05 because it is one of the most balanced drifters out there.

So you think a TA05 is better than a TB02?

TA05 is newer so finding parts for it will be easier. I have both a TC4 and a Cyclone S, I dig them both, for different reasons. I'm not a drifter, I like grip. The TC4 feels snappier out of the corners, while the the Cyclone feels more planted all the way around. I think when it comes right down to it I think I'll most likely race the TC4 probably. The Cyclone is breeze to work on only 4 screws hold the diff in. I will say this with both my cars geared close to the same with equal motors in them I can break the back end loose with the TC4 even on rubber tires. If you decide to go the Cyclone route buy new C hubs before you even build the kit. The stock C hubs that come with the Cyclone are crap. I swear if you look at them wrong you can break one. The C hubs for the HPI pro 4 are a direct replacement.

Yeah, its newer, so more parts will be out for it. Plus its belt drive, so you don't have to worry about torque steer out of corners.

With drift tires on torque steer is a non factor your wheels dont have enough traction to cause torque steer. Even with rubber tires on and a mild motor like a 19 turn Money or Quad Mag torque steer is not even an issue.

^^ But see your drifting, so your sliding. Any little tap ar change can move the car around. Your gonna feel torque steer, even with a mild motor.

Keep your TC3 and use it for drifting. Put your money abs pipe wheels for it. I just saved you $200.

I use my TT-01 for drifting. before then my COLT 10 & my FT TC3 but think the TT-01 is over all a better car.

My c hubs doesn't break haha... If u have the Tc3, stick with that chassis man. There no reason to by a new chassia while u can dig into your TC3.
