good beginner drift car?
 

Whats a good beginner drift car? I have been reading around and have looked at the TT01D and HPI stuff. Is there a good site to buy through that has really good prices and service?

I want a site where I can buy everything I need in a kit or something along those lines.

Thanks

Keep in mind that most Tamiya ones are kits (you have to build) and don't come with all the electronics or radio (unless you buy a XB version).

HPI has a couple different ones but they don't have nearly the number of upgrades that Tamiya does.

I'd suggest the Tamiya as building, maintaining, fixing RC's is just as much a part of the hobby as running them.

Okay, I am looking for a 1/18 rc drift car.

It is near impossible to get the HPI Micro RS4 Drift.

I was thinking of adapting the Team Associated 1/18 Rally car for this.

But should I lock the front diff?
Is the HPI DBox worth it for just having fun on the streets and your home. I am not looking to compete, but I have read a review from atomic mods that this is a good option, and you don't need the finesse that I don't have.

Should I change the motor for this vehicle to give better options. Or should I just get the RTR and pop on some drift tires?

I recommend you don't buy the dbox, as I found it's more fun practicing rather then the d-box doing all the countersteering for you (which is all it does)

many drifters find the D-BOX to be cheating... theres no point in having one its better to practice yourself
