Electric Drifter Help

[pwned12355]

Well i'd like to get into electric drifting cuz it looks like a blast and i have a realy large coldisac that would be perfect for it.
i was wondering what would be the best (and cheapest) place/site to get one at ive checked out hpi but im not so sure about them
id realy like some feed back because that would be realy helpful

any help apreciated
ME

towerhobbies.com would probly be the best place to order from. unless you can find the same model on ebay cheaper (not very often)

tamiya produces some great electric drifters, and some of the most wanted. but also the most expensive.

but the HPI drift kits are pretty decent out of the box too. Cost about $500 bucks though for a very nice drift car... keep that in mind.

ok so clearly i want the closest looking think to a crx..the toreno
but i dont no if it comes with EVERYTHING like duh the car chasi and body but does it in clued charger remote and everythng else nesecery to run it.
i have a traxxas t maxx 2.5 (with the 3.3 engine) and was wondering if i coould use that remote also the traxxas came with a starter batery charger/de-charger and was wondering if i could use that to charde my batterise which i probobly could cuz on the side it has a whole long list of things it can charge

Get a E-Revo and throw PVC Tires on it.
Done.

i understand thats a good price but if i dosent come with EVERYTHING then its guna cost like 500 bucks and i dont have that kinda muni

i second Sweed, i would get something like the E-Revo and put different tires on it to drift and when your bored, you can put the off road tires on and hit the track(front yard) and play in some dirt, or you can get some kind of truggy and put PVC tires on it, might be a little more than a rtr drift car but also multi-purpose for what you want to do.

Its an RTR, it comes with everytihn, what do you mean?

what i meant was like the controlar and the charger and stuff like that that didnt come with the traxxas(u bye the chassi and body different from the gas and controloer and starter)

so if everything is included then im with u

also go try and find parts for that rcx car before you buy it to make sure you can get replacement parts and look up a review on it before you buy it, see the only thing im thinking is that a lot of hobbie shops dont carry that barnd and i have asked the lhs that i hang out at sometimes about the rcx stuff, and they've been open for 5-6 years now, and they said "huh what brand? sounds bogus" so they said if you buy something thats not a majior brand go look up parts and reviews first before you buy it! because it really sucks when you buy it and it breaks then you cant get parts for it, know what i mean? lol just be sure you know what your buying before you buy it!

haha thanks man ill total look into it as much as i can because ur probly rite but i do realy want a good relable machine that is cheep-ish

edit:sweed i did look into that actualy but its just not the same with a t-maxx 3.3 that goe 100+ mph haha see where im going...

dont but cheap *** crap like rcx. you'll pay more money in the end. Buy quality. you get what you pay for. if you can afford a 250-300 dollar kit. and then later on another 200 bucks in upgrades to make it a quality drift car. well get a better job, save some more money, or keep dreaming. cheap kits just dont cut it. they hurt the pocket book more in the long run.

[pwned12355]

well i feel ya and im totaly a spender not a save so its time for CHANGE ill shall wait till summer to mow grass and then only then will bye a super drifter
thx man i look into something more "hobby grade" if u will like hpi and see what i can find

as kyle says..

cheers,
kyle...eerrr Ari

it will really be money more well spent to just save and wait it out. Go look at anyone that does competition drifting. Not a single one is using a cheapo kit lol. because they just dont perform good. theres a reason behind it. and thats it.

i think AE has a pretty good cheap drift kit too. but i cant recall. Either way. 250 bucks doesnt take too long to save. as long as ya dont spend it!

[pwned12355]

haha y no spendy for a while but there isnt much i can do now to make money i could sell stuff but its not worth it cuz anything i have worth a lot i like to much so ya ill wait ti out

[youngxmodder]

i would save since you said there is no way for you to get money ok, here's something: ok grab a shovel or if you can a snowblower(usually a shovel), go around the block or somewhere were you don't walk for miles if you see people's driveways and sidewalk unplowed, go up to the door and knock, if someone answers, ask if you can shovel for them for like 5 bucks (thats all i asked for) unless and old person then do it for free, then if they say yes and go ahead and start scooping. boom you earn some money. i did it last year it worked good for xmod parts and misc. things. i saved money from last year and i bought an axial ax10 with some assistance from my dad, for credit card purposes, and earlier today i bought L4D(Left 4 Dead) with some more money from shoveling. it may be time consuming but it will pay in the long run.( get that last sentence?)

[snowboi1289]

RTR means Ready to run, so I'm 100% sure it will come with everything.
