just wondering how people feel about this car: traxxas 4-tec electric, is it any good at drifting? I have a chance to buy one pretty cheap, so I just want to know if I should get it. thanks

yea..
it seems fine..
but first of all, its a belt driven chasis and secondly, u might not be able to get help/advice from anyone else on the setup of the car cause i dun think anyone else is using it..
its pretty ok since it comes with ball differentials, full ball bearings, esc which can support a 20 turn stock motor, camber, front toe in,toe out..
how cheap is cheap?

is belt driven not as good?
cheap is 60 bucks for one that is like new, all it needs is a servo.

there are pros and cons to using belt and shaft.. shaft has more direct and faster response and acceleration but causes torque steer. the problem with torque steer can still be solved with correct settings being done. belt drive, becoz of the belt doesnt have as much direct aceleration as the shaft's, it doesnt have torque steer and max speed is faster. however the response for aceleration is also possible to be made near to a shaft car with correct settings being done. 60 bucks is a good deal for a start..  |

so I bought it, and it is pretty quick, how long should a 1600 mah battery last, i'm runing a novak rooster, and a 20 turn stinger motor?
also if anyone is using the electric 4tec let me know what you've changed on it, thanks
