Converting To Drift Spec
 

Hello,

I have an old Tamiya TA02 body. Would it be cheaper to convert the TA02 body to drift spec or buying a brand new TT01D? My budget is about 150 (similar to buying a TT01D). If converting with this budget will make it better than TT01D, what should I do?

I thank you for your help

WOW! Thank you very much for fast reply. Can you tell me why the Black Can motor will make a difference?

do you need dspec shell 2

RE: Converting To Drift Spec
 

What is D spec shell? Do you mean body shell? Does that make a difference on what type of shell you put on? Pardon me, I'm new to the hobby after 10 years and not sure about all the new lingos.

it looks like a drift body

RE: Converting To Drift Spec
 

The body isn't needed,it just looks good. Drifting with a race body like a Mazda 6 doesn't look right haha.. :)

Thanks guys! I will convert my TA02 with Black Can motor and slick tires. Anyone have comments on other improvements?

Thanks a bunch!
