What to buy for a first timer?
HSP 94103

Pro - Spare parts widely available from most LHS ; Reasonably priced for RTR (~RM350 - tx/rx, battery) ; For on-road, they are reasonably durable ; Versatile platform, can convert from drift to touring to rally with some mods ; standard 1/10 size means wide range of upgrade parts (tires, bodyshell, shocks) available ; relatively easy to work on
Con - All round bushings, no ball bearings ; stock servo is crap ; bodyshell a bit thin ; steering knuckles may strip over time
Misc - Seal up the spur and pinion if you want to convert to rally ; dont upgrade to alu parts, as it'll make the car more brittle
Recommended Upgrades - Ball bearings, better servo, better ESC+Motor(if your stock ones burn out on you), LiPo batteries

Tamiya TT01E

Pro - Well known brand ; a lot of hop ups available ; proven platform ; versatile all rounder ; very scaled looks (with painted+detailed bodyshell) ; very durable ; standard 1/10 size
Con - Kit (some may like, some may hate it, requires building) ; No servo, battery, tx/rx included ; A lot of upgrades necessary to get it competitive (metal center drive shaft, oil filled shocks, ball bearings, adjustable toe-ends) ; A lot of slop in the steering ; Limited adjustment in most models (can be fixed by upgrading) ; Limited gearing options ;
Misc - Prices start from RM490 for a kit, which requires assembly and painting ( paint ~RM20 a can, servo ~RM30, battery ~RM100, charger ~RM120, tx+rx ~RM100)
Recommended Upgrades - Ball bearings, CVA Shocks (oil filled shocks, either from 3Racing, Tamiya or Yeah Racing), Metal driveshaft, adjustable links for camber

3Racing Sakura Zero S

Pro - Proven platform ; Race ready ; FRP platform ; a lot of hop ups ; can be used for drift or touring ; cheap (~RM300), Alot of adjustability
Con - Kit form ; No electronics included ; No bodyshell included ;
Misc - Choosing a cheap brushless set up (EZrun 9t/35A) would be good ; Pair with a cheap flysky 2.4ghz, lipo, bodyshell, and it can be a good racing platform
Recommended Upgrades - Since this is a kit, you'll be supplying your own electronics. Nothing much to upgrade

Clones (TRF416, Mi4, T2'009)

Pro - Cheap RTR (~RM320) ; Cloned from proven racing platforms ; Spare parts widely available (from original manufacturer or clone spare parts); Can be used for touring of drift ; comes with ball bearings
Con - Horrible plastic quality, will strip after being screwed in a few times ; brittle aluminum ; some parts are pricey
Misc - Dont waste your time with these clones. Get a used TRF416/Mi4/T2 would be better, or even the Sakura Zero S.
Recommended Upgrades - If you have the money, replace broken parts with original ones

HPI E10

Pro - Brand ; Decent drifter ; Decent priced (~RM650) ; Detailed bodyshell
Con - Propriety shocks means expensive replacements ; Diffs are not strong ; Little to no adjustments ; spare parts availability
Misc - HPI's answer to Tamiya's TT01E. Both are bottom end vehicles.
Recommended Upgrades - LiPo batteries, Ball bearings

TEH-R31

Pro - Cloned from the StreeJam OTA-R31 ; Excellent platform for drifting ; Easy to upgrade to CS Drift ; Extreme steering angle ; Compatible with StreeJam parts
Con - Plastic quality is bad ; Clone is bad ; Cant be used for touring
Misc - Do check your LHS's prices for these, if expensive, its better you get a used OTA-R31 (original).
Recommended Upgrades - Upgrade to original parts from StreetJam for better quality

Added on April 26, 2012, 8:56 pmActually,

this would be my first "real" r/c..was wondering..what do I need to know before purchasing?

This post has been edited by viruz019: Apr 26 2012, 08:56 PM

Just ask what you seek

what you guys think?

i was browsing through those nitrous powered R/C...they stated those trasmitter..glow plug...starter kit.. what are all these

This post has been edited by viruz019: Apr 26 2012, 10:47 PM

beginner use electric better, less headache, less maintenance, equally as fun

transmitter is your remote control, glow plug acts like real car's spark plug, starter kit contains everything you need to start your R/C (glow heater, glow heater's charger, wrench, fuel bottle)

electric motor wont be as fast as nitrous powered right? O.O

ooo..thanks for the clarifications! ..if i got any question, definitely will ask here

If you say a few years back, probably.. But now, got brushless power...

electric with 120a and 5.5T motor can smoke those nitro, if u know how to handle such massive power.
nitro cant take corner at fast speed. come corner they go turtle speed. ahahaha.

there are pro's and con's for both

EP (electric) will have power fade after few laps in touring due to battery power finishing.
nitro u take more time for engine tuning, EP u just plug the battery and ready to play.
nitro can't drift

if u want to play touring, spend some time in titiwangsa track. see for yourself first.

what i know y rc ioji close becos financial problem,
if my friend goes to sunway giza.. maybe i go there everyday la..
or maybe setapak.. huhu.. so syg lah.. evertime i goes there i play with otai2 like bobo, billy
miss that moment,,,

according to bobo they're shifting place.. dunno where yet.. looking for a cheaper alternative maybe.. so alternatively i must go to either MRC, DRace or RC Staion klang to play.. might as well visiting MOD and D3 as i never been there

BTW ericmaxman congrats on V2.. the original TS is MIA i think.. looking forward to u for maintaining this thread.. the original V1 has been going on for 6 years to finish with drifter come and go..

amardouble come play at MRC.. this weekend nk pg DRace..

Enjoy the thread, and I'll try to update/maintain as much as I can

amardouble = MistaHpi ke?? yang pakai r3r?

update the list.

ericmaxman - Vantex xray T2
ayiesz - white wolf - LRP SXX TC / 5.5T CS 1.46

wow...that looks good O.O..im still pretty blur in this..wonder how much would a "fast enough basic" R/C cost for nitro and electric

ooo..tuning huh..i will be having a hard time to tune as i know nothing yet

i cant go titiwangsa as I'm back in my homecountry already . Used to live at KL during my studies. Hard to find R/C around my area..except those cheap race-tin versions xD

Added on April 27, 2012, 12:08 pmAnyway, TS.

"Where to buy them"
like the sites you provided to me.
