I am looking for a electric 1/10 scale rc car.l
i want a car that is highly upgradalble such as performance.
But i also want a drift vehicle.
The subaru by tamiya they made a drift version.
Is that really a drift car tho.

Please tell me one that is highly upgradable and will blow the competition away.

and another one for drift.

iam looking to buy 2 money really isnt that much of an option.

also dont worry about me being a noob i have owned 3 cars all nitro.

momotalo

my opinion... try use TRF 415 MSX also hot bodies cyclone.. both of this car performace quite good.....
of you want a drift car. u should looking for the shaft drive....
or you can buy yokomo drift car... it's better than tamiya....
for the option.. all of that car has a lot of option.. just looking for which one do you need...

thank

Why would you need a sharft drive for drifting?

aquito

i use a tc4 for drifting...just had to buy abs tires and thats it..i drift like a pro lol..

momotalo

for me , shaft drive have more torque than belt drive.. n driftting need big power to drift the car..
sorry if i'm wrong

aquito

i think exactly like u...thats why i got a TC4..aluminium shaft driven

once when i wasnt racing i dorked around with drifting. i drifted my RDX better than i did with my Tc3. it was much smoother and easier to drift.

ickvanovs

just wondering,
is there any specific part that need to be changed in order to transform a kit into a drift kit ?

tires, maybe motor.

ickvanovs

i think its true
sharft deliver torque better than belt

D_o_S

properly set up belts will deliver the same torque...

ickvanovs

i think the formula for tourque is
torque = force x length
while
force = mass x acceleration

so i guess the weight of the shaft will deliver more torque
hehehe but im not sure, i got this theory back in high school

momotalo

until now.. i can't fell belt drive have a big torque.. even in engine car... i just better looking for the shaft drive car for drifting...
if you want to drift.. just looking for the spc drift tyre.. motor with high torque.. also with shock set up.. for drift i think need harder shock set up than touring race ..

ickvanovs

maybe gear setup also affects torque

momotalo

you right, but still can't beat the torque of shaft drive.. hehehe
it still smoother than shaft
