Hi everyone. I'm just planning to venture into this hobby and eyeing on Vantex brand RC (around rm350-400). I also noticed the 416 is quite popular. Is it a good model to start from?
I'm not planning to spend more than rm400 because I just want to get the feel of it first, and if I want to continue, I will just give this to my nephew and straight go for 'kit', not RTR. |

QUOTE(ericmaxman @ May 21 2012, 06:26 PM) 416 or xray t2 also decent. I also noticed there's a vantex 'sprint'... Is it the same?  |

QUOTE(ericmaxman @ May 21 2012, 09:00 PM) its a tamiya TRF416 clone..hahaha Stock battery can play for how long?the tires would work well out of the box.. but, if you ever plan to drift indoors, especially with carpeted surface, do be prepared to buy carpet drift tires (RM60-RM70).. |

QUOTE(jaylike7 @ May 22 2012, 01:55 PM) if u r getting clone chassis, look for TEH-R31. don't go for T2 or 416. Mi4, T2 n 416 are not meant for drift originally, it was designed for Touring specifically. u will have headache if u opt for above choices.. This one?however, TEH-R31/Ventex R31 are clone chassis of StreetJam OTA-R31 and it is designed for Drift specifically. this chassis proven one of the best chassis in market and lots of ppl using it in worldwide, setting wise u can easily get it via internet. ofcourse, there are lots of good chassis around the globe brands like Kazama, RC-ART, Square and Yokomo but with your budget i think you can settle TEH-R31/Ventex R31 RTR. word of advise, better start this hobby with right chassis and save you alot of trouble in future. http://www.jbrcshop.com/store/product.php?id_product=489 |

QUOTE(kayFX @ May 24 2012, 08:15 PM) halo everybody.. here is some tips for basic setup.. first if have extra budget get a front one way unit.. second get a fix rear axle.. this one is recommended for cs drifter.. for 50-50 4wd setup i have no idea.. I also suspect the same thing..because the wall socket is a bit 'loose'. Please don't poison me with poison ... Pokai alr @sphiroth maybe batt x fully charge kot.. if using nimh batt i have no idea coz skrg i use LiPo batt.. can last for 1hour ++  eady... |

Remote pakai bateri eveready (baru), xkan dh kong.... Pelik gk psl bateri kereta dh charge 5jam, tp bole main 1-2 min je. Kalo kereta tu tayar xcecah tanah, ok jer. Letak bwh terus jd balik (esc bunyi). Ni try charge smpai pg esok, kalo x bole, beli bateri 500mah+fast charger terus.

Went to a nearby shop to get my car checked, turns out the receiver 'kong'. After replaced with a new one (RM60), then noticed the battery can only last about 3 min (even right after charging). Ended up buying a NIMh 5100mah battery with fast charger (RM300)...kopak already... but really satisfied with it.

QUOTE(ericmaxman @ May 25 2012, 08:52 PM) I dont get what u mean..whats the problem? After playing for about an hour, its like the front wheel kinda 'slower' than the rear which cause it to easily spin/spun even in straight line... |
