start with Tamiya first? tt , tl etc
actually almost any electric RC car out there qualifies as long as can put on PVC wheels can drift liaos
Most ppl r using shaft driven soo..... how abt comparing shaft to belt drive instead?

hello hello...
well, to start off, Tamiya TL will do just fine as it doesn't need to be upgraded.(only ESC lah!)
but all i can say is that, if you are into drift long term, i guess getting a car that could do some setups will be better.
well, i have a Smarttech that has all the adjustments that you might want to setup with. comes whole set, ready to run. even controller needed. maybe buyer might want to just change the MSC to ESC.
spares not easily available but if drifting with PVC, i doubt one is gona break any parts, maybe just rims.
Cheerios.

Saw this xpress pro belt drive carbon chassis car, only $180 comes with set of wheels and can motor. (w/o electronics)
Looks gd for drifting as u can customise where the batt packs can go...

Ya that is confirm a HPI Pro 3 which is in SG drifter video 1 & 2. The car with some spring changes and setup and also some skill, the car is very good to control due to the balance of the car, with the battery in the centre. Dun ask me how i know that is a HPI Pro 3, cause that is my car, still miss playing with it maybe can go his house and just take without telling |

Btw, stargek quote me $265 for XB Pro, batt and charger. So I spent a total of $251.50  |

ahhh u can try this to drift better:
-set front suspension to mid soft and rear suspension to very hard or hard
-set the wheel to be slant out a bit to enhance better tail swipe-out
-use 20 turn for PVCs tires and 23 to 27 turn for rubber tires
-try to get ur body sheel as low as possible but not touching the tires of course.... just to let it lose traction while turning so that u dun need to turn outside-in to drift as u can straight away drift in with these setups... too bad my car is under mantainance or i will participate in the races in serangoon...

1. Delete your extra post in future if you ever double post again
2. So that it charges faster and you know when to stop charging, some has discharging function.
