RC Drift on low income??? HELP!
Hello all,
I am looking to buy a RC Drift Car, but I am on a very short budget. Many people say to go with the TA05 and that's what most racers use, but I feel for drifting in a parking lot shaft is the way to go. I have looked at the TB03, but it is slightly pricey everywhere I looked and after research I found the TT01D is not much more than a toy. If you have recommendations on cars and/or could refer me to a place to buy one cheap. It is greatly appreciated if you post it here.
THANKS,
RcEnThUsIaSt123

Don't know what's available local to you, but I've found a seller on eBay local to me that does brushed esc's for about $25, and motors (15t) for about $15. Hobbyking do a radio for $15 (2.4ghz).
Don't know about the quality of those motors and esc's, but the radio isn't bad, my partner uses one for mucking around.

Thank you. I will look into it. I want to look for maybe cheap brushless because in the long run replacing the brushes and the time will save me the money. What do you think of the chassis that the previous user posted?

Brushless is cheap now, so it's definitely the move to make.
Street jam r31 is very popular in japan, and that clone is an exact copy of it. You can't go wrong. Browse through drift forums or search on youtube. You'll find some good reviews.

Just checked out that car for you. On paper it's not bad. Only thing I'd be cautious of is that it's sensorless. Otherwise looks good for the money. How's parts availability for you though?
