hi guys... i m new to this hobby... just got myself a tamiya ta05ifs... dun have the chance to drift it yet cause still waiting for my motor n esc...

the car itself is RM799 without electronics... if u are new like me u need to spend quite a lot for the first time cause u need to buy battery, charger, motor, esc, servo n transmitter... i m getting brushless motor so it is more expensive...

i bought frm tamiya underground in 1 utama... very big tamiya shop... u can get basically all types of tamiya... very friendly boss also... look for chee yong... he will be very glad to guide you and tell you what you need...

buy as kit... i think is better that way cause u b more familiar with the parts... is easier for you to tune or change parts in the future...

yeah he is the boss... very friendly n nice...

r u sure is stock???

wow nitro drifting... tats cool... wah bro ohy85 u also very geng... started out with nitro...

you can go to ss19 on sat... most drifters will be there cause sat is drifting day...

the place open at 11... normally they will go there the whole day...

fstrader normally where u drift?? im staying near batu caves... normally i just go to tamiya underground n play there... still L license so need to practice... hehe

hi bro... UGPM...

small yes... but is not that hard to drift... mayb is a bit harder to control...

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...

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...

like patrick said u all can go to hobby haven n view takara drift light... hobby haven is the official importer for yokomo products... so they should have takara drift light cause it is a jint development between takara n yokomo... hobby haven is situated along jln horsepower in sunway...

better dont buy TB02 cause is discontinued already... another reason is because TB02 is a flop... tamiya is not selling it very well and tats the reason u dont see a lot of TB02 cause stargek is not bringing it in... is better to get TT01 or TB03 if u have the budget... TA05 is also a very nice car but it is belt drive so depends on ur preference...

you mean tyre for rc drifting?? the easiest way to do it is to use a hairdryer... set it to hot and blow the hot air on the tyre... once the tyre is hot, it will be soft and easier to put it into the rim... hope this help...
