Hi all,
I really wanted to start this hobby.
But I don't want waste too much money doing upgrade.
Prefer get something decent and able to last longer from start
I have a budget around 2k to start with. Any recommendation?

Hi there,
What else I would need to get?
Reconmmended controller?
Is hobbywing motor brushless type ? Or reconmmended to use brush type for begineer?

So far I already have lipo charger only. Left over from my rc heli.

Controller? You cant go wrong with the Sanwa MT4.

Avoid Spektrum, as it is kinda inferior when compared to Sanwa or Futaba.

The hobbywing is brushless. Brushed also can, as you don't exactly need tons of speed for drifting.
*
How much would the Sanwa cost?
Will it be advisable to get 1 extra battery?

How much normally I should keep in mind ready to spend for any maintenance or consumable?
Example like belt or parts that should keep extra in hand.

Sanwa MT4 - ~RM560
Get more batteries would be good.

Hmm..
That add up will be around 1750
Still can get 2 extra battery.

But for tire what would the cost be?
Mt4 Sanwa come with chargeable battery?

I have a IMAX b6 lipo charger. Will this be sufficient?

Not sure how much drift tires would cost, but I've seen on mudah for ~RM50 or so maybe?

The MT4 does not come with batteries

So if I order , all things I need to fix and setup myself or anywhere I can get help on this?

To Eric,
Just went to mod cheras to have a look to street jam ota r31 . Getting myself poison.

There is a second hand chassis. R31 full plastic. But change to a blue color damper. Front one way and rear lock already. Worth to get? Rm550


I also want to order stuff through you already. Battery. Servo and motor. And some accessory if I get the chassis.

RM550? How's the condition? Original or clone?

Let me know what you want to order, I might be having a shipment coming in smile.gif

Ori chassis. Not clone.
It is used but in good condition. The owner went outstation for work. Keep the part and sell the chassis

Try to negotiate for better price lo smile.gif

Best price already, that's why ask advise from you ok or not.

The Damper cost 200 plus. The one way front also around 70 I guess. New chassis cost 950

.total also save quite a lot to spend on other thing to build up the car

if he can proof that the front one way and dampers are original, grab it. very good deal.

one way must be ori. all replica/clone/china made not good enough.
*
It is Wong the mod boss reconmmend me one the r31 chassis alone offer.

Damper cost 200 plus and one way cost around 90 . So I think is genuine part.

How about kar Mun set. Izit also original?

Taken my first step. Taken over Kar Mun car and everything he have.

But he also forgot what is the battery capacity. How I suppose to set the correct value to charge this lipo battery?

Just charge. Dont need to set.

Unless the battery capacity is above 5000mAH.

Should I put like 2.0 A or 3.0A or......
Cause the lipo balance charger can set the rate for charging

so robinloh21 how's the kit?
*
At first bought from Kar Mun and agree I can send for check. If I want to return then he will give back the money. Then send to shop and check say the kit is not original. But not his fault. Tis is what the seller that he bought it from tell him.

So now I stuck with a china kit chassis ,rather than the ori 31 that got another guy offer me. And he say can't give me back the money. ....

So far not sure the thing can drift or not.

The back wheel is not moving. Izit normal?

The kit origin is not with fly sky controller. First owner keep it. And sell everything else cause moving into off road.
Then Kar Mun bought fsgt3.
Nt sure the kit worth the price or not. Just have to say, I learn my lesson.
Will upgrade the esc and motor and controller soon when got money.

Hi Robinloh21,

remember me? i'm Jay, the one you met in the other day at MOD track. good decision on the OTA-R31 chassis purchase togather with the Dualsky ESC & LRP motor.

too bad i only read your post today or else you would have spent lesser for not going for the china brand chassis. anyway, welcome to the RC Drift club and hangout more in MOD track, for sure you will learn alot there with other members in MOD.

Hi jay. Looking forward to learn from you guys,
How often you will be at mod cheras?

Just manage to learn some stuff from Max also , the dealer for streetjam in Jb. Nice guy!
