u talking about the original street jam, or clone from TEH-R31?
original used around 600-900, clone around 200 kit only.
electronics around 500 (fast charger, LiPo, motor, ESC, servo)
MT4 new around 650 (hard to get 2nd hand)

Just start? I suggest get something cheap first, then practice your skills, rather than one shot buying so expensive stuff

Here's my break down (Some may not agree with it)

- RTR car (I chose the Vantex X-ray) - RM350 (If you want to play CS later, then opt for the TEH-R31, around RM340 RTR)
- ESC+Brushless - ± RM 300
- LiPo Battery - ± RM150
- FlySky GT3B - ± RM150
- Balance Charger - ± RM150

Total : ± RM1100

The price excludes aftermarket rims, tires,bodyshells and accessories, which all of us would change sooner or later

That should keep you playing for some time. As for parts, 416 and xray also a lot parts. Just worry about the electronics. Hence in my estimation, most are replaced, saved for the servo

For beginners, like I said, is the Sanwa really necessary?

err.. i'm a beginner and use MT4.. good TX n RX is a big diff..

sensored better. i will leave the t rating to the pro..i noob

dun say like dat.. i noob also.. but in the process i learn a lot.. the lower the T no. means that the motor has more top speed power (if im not mistaken) the higher the T no. means the motor has more torque (if im not mistaken again)
10.5T is the most common T use by RC drifter coz i think it balance between high RPM and torque (if im not mistaken also la)

Hmm, still got loads to learn

Any ESC+Brushless combo to recommend? Below RM300. Me poorfag

Saw these 3 that interests me

Ezrun 9t Combo ESC35a
ZTW 5.5t Combo ESC60A
Ezrun Brushless Victory 5.5t Combo ESC60A

RM300 and below ><

that's the way to go.
upgrading will cost more.
get the best in your mind. even clone teh-r31 is fine, but make sure u upgrade to alloy parts as soon as you can.

motor around 10.5T or 9T is good for start.

see reply from kayFX below

i'm using 35a ezrun, 9t motor. good for beginner, but definitely wont be able to catch up with xerun 10.5T.
better top up a bit, get xerun sensored, with advance timing and turbo mode
man this hobby can cost a lot once you get serious with it.

what i usually do:

google image, then copy one of the nice layout from other people

Hi Guys,

i just won a Yokomo DIB from Thailand Drift Competition last week. planning to letting it go for cheap price.

RM1350, can nego. Market price for DIB is RM1500-1600 (depends on which state u r in)

can PM or sms me for nego. zero 1 two - six six 7 1 eight 7 eight

if you top up another RM50, i can give you a brushless sensored motor 10.5t from HobbyWing, only 3 days old (used it for the Thailand comp only)

waow okay I think I should do more basic searches first. Thanks though!
