SWEET! how often do you get a second hand chassis looking that new how much you bought it for ler?

Wrong. I am not the most suitable, I just happened to have started this thread!

Anyways, sounds like a plan. Your budget ready?

My working hours suck

RM1k is just the right amount. When you planning to start dude? I think a second hand car wouldn't hurt as well, you sound like you may just develop a good bit of passion for this so keeping some extras from that 1k for upgrades would be nice.

Btw, I thought you had to be at least 17 to enter

That 800-900 is probably including controller, battery, charger, servo and some hop up parts. If you buy brand new, thats 600 on the car, about 250 for battery and charger, 150 for controller and 50 for servo. Ngam ngam 1k, with no room for upgrades in the near future.

If you're cool with it, just drop by Tamiya Underground to pick it up

Right right.. so what you studying now? Diploma?

Ooo icic. Good luck with the car, and your course then! Let me know if you need any help

correct, slept liao earlier morning!

Well, Team Magic is a less popular brand, but they do sell a lot of parts which many touring drivers prefer over original Tamiya parts so at least they have credibility. But if you do use this TM chassis, be warned to will only be able to purchase their hop ups, and not use other brands. As opposed to buying a Tamiya chassis, you can use hop ups that were custom made by many brands, including TM.

The area itself not much free space. I find that the surface of the car park of Forum 19 (dunno if it's still called that or not) quite suitable

All are welcome! where do you usually drift at, subaruimpreza?

Eric, there just isn't a lot of options nearby TOC campus other than F19 carpark and that's also depending on your luck can or not. I guess the closest for you is Subang SS19, cause to go through Damansara and go to 1Utama might be shorter but takes more time due to traffic.

SS19 = Tarmac track, open air, RM3 a day to play

Tamiya = Carpet track, underground, AFAIK free to play but if wanna charge might need to pay

So it's two different types of tracks, if you have hard drift tires you can go to either one, but if you have soft drift tires you'll need to go to SS19 cause on carpet soft tires are too grippy to drift.

Definitely nope, one is at 1Utama, another is in another town What to do, TOC is located in the middle of an industrial area.. I can't think of any other appropriate place nearby there..

Lulz, seriously la, there are gurus in here like Cinta Laura who just happen to be away anyways ask away, I never liked being scoffed when asking questions so surely I won't do it to anyone as well

Currently you can't custom make shells but TU does sell Tamiya shells, and other vendors sell other brand shells (ie Yokomo, HPI, etc)

For RM500 a bit hard la. I just sold my friend's kit for RM600, and that was a TT01 (standard model).. Perhaps if you can up a little bit I can try to find a seller for you around your budget

Yes there is a difference, belt driven cars (from experience) are better with high speed drifting and if tuned correctly tight corner drifting as well. Whereas shaft driven cars most of the time cannot perform high speed drifting due to high gear ratios. Just my 2cents, of course a pro will say nothing is impossible, but I'm just a noob

Eh why sell la bro! Don't like the diff issit?

Anyways PM me best price! habis la gaji bulan ni..

Got one, even at Tamiya Underground also many kakis gather on weekends (and even weekdays) to play.. usually it's hard to play RC drift alone at tracks

np bro full set as in everything you mentioned up there, latest price I'm not exactly sure but expect a minimum of 1k for basic peripherals. If you wan something better like controllers, servos, batteries, motors etc then it's gonna cost more..

Self assembly bro, asking them to assemble takes the fun out and besides.. it's not cheap xP you will know one, when it's new it looks new lol

What I meant was assembly is an additional charge and it's not cheap, like around 100 bucks if I'm not mistaken, but in fact it is quite easy. Not really la, you just need the essentials.. adjustable camber, steering tie rod and drift tires are the bare essentials for drifting, the rest is for advanced drifting..

ps: when I bought my TT01, it already had an adjustable camber and steering tie rod, the drift tires that came with it were the 1st gen useless rubber tires but now they're a lot better.. means you probably can buy the car kit, remote, batteries and charger and you're ready to drift

Sorry for late reply. Oic, I'm not so sure where in Penang got carry Tamiyas wor.. Well he's right, but I bet he didn't tell you setting up the Yokomo is not as easy as the Tamiya Personally I prefer TT01 and as long as you maintain the car and don't crash it multiple times it's ok d. Other than that if got budget go for Yokomo lah since a lot of option parts come standard with the car

You from JB? Buy 2nd hand if you're under a strict budget, that's what I did.. 1k enough if you buy everything 2nd hand (even batteries). Price lebih kurang la, not so much diff. The difference now is the technology, Yokomo has introduced many new things since the beginning of this thread, check out a nearby store to find out more
