which one better for racing and drift ? want to joint this thread in future =)

hey guys.

So, a fren wants to sell me his RC, brand all.
So, would like to noe if this RC is worth buying or not. His chargin me RM500 for everythin listed below. Pls lemme noe if this is a worth buy or not, or whether i should nego his price sumore. Also, can dis car drift? or its those normal track rc.

Wheelbase: 11 in (280mm)
Engine: Kyosho GS-15R w/recoil starter (included)

Thx 4 d help guys.

i'm not too sure about the spec good or not but for gas car with a price of RM500 is a very good price. and what i see from the photo, this is a touring or race car.

to me i will personally suggest you look for electronic car, there are ppl salling second hand electronic car kit with good reseonalbe price.

and personally i feel electronic car are more easyer to maintain plus cheaper to maintain hahahaaha...

if u are new to this hobby just like me... dont go for nitro car first... it is a lot harder to maintain... u need to tune the engine and the fuel is quite expensive... as for electric, is quite expensive also but you only spend it one time... the electronics are expensive but you dont have to keep on buying it... besides that you cant play a nitro car in your house... you need to play it outside... so if you are new to this hobby try to get yourself an electric car...

Nitro is harder to drift since too much power liao... If you are newbies then better buy electric car 1st... Much more easier to control...

i am selling my drift car for 200 bucks who wan, everything will be given??

owner upgrading to real drift car

Really love to see u all show your car. really nice. i'm into drifting too, but i'm only play alone, normally afterwork. no time to join u guys at the track. never see anybody drift at track . by the way, this mine.

wohhoo... nice... what car is it? hpi?

hi
im new to this RC Drift things
have been doing some research lately
seem there are two best brand

1. yokomo
2. tamiya

based on from my reading, if i buy tamiya, i can start drift already
but for yokomo, i hav to buy another stuff before i can start drift

is it? anyone using yokomo?
can share experience on differences between both brand?

if HPI @ HSP i book lah!

basically u dont have to change anything in order to drift just change to drift tires n u r ready to go... actually there are a lot of good brands around... what is important is find those that have abundance of spare parts... tamiya will b cheaper compare to yokomo...

yes, mine is yokomo. i have to spend a lot after i upgrade the motor. the stock not strong enough. yokomo is not RTR, but wth, even u buy complete set like tamiya, u still buying upgrade later on, so for me, buy yokomo is still ok. rather than buying RTR but its stock part.
