Just bought a Sanwa/StreetJam M11X-D, initial impressions are incredible. Ill post the differences between it and a regular M11X as soon as i get some help from a japanese buddy of mine setting it up. (instructions are japanese) I'm also definitly going to buy an OTA-R3R to go along with my Dmax, or just sell the Dmax, we'll see.

Yea the Big tracks here are usually half very high speed with the other half being slow speed super tech. The small tracks are usually very tight technical cs friendly tracks with some good long slide sections thrown in.
O man its mind boggling to go to drifting competitions here, even the lowest level guys have pit tables flushed with gear you would see at Tamiya Worlds. Its insane the level of money guys dump into CS drifting here. You can kinda see it with the increases in high level chassis prices. The new street jam kits, stores cant keep em in stock for nothing. That kits almost a $1000 with no electronics. The new HB TC-FD! $800!!! haha, ill probably buy one tho i love that new car.

Thank you sir. Not too worried about the coin. The HSS is still cheaper than either my 8ight or 8ight-T chassis were. I can show my wife how much money I saved LOL. Ran my Yok on a small on-road track today for the first time, lot of fun. Track had a lot of traction, they raced Thursday night and blew it off and soda prepped it. Camber change helped. If it hadn't been 100 deg F I would have stayed longer and played with the droop settings, but just couldn't take it. The car is money though, responds to every change I make to it. Reminds me why I like Yokomo cars so much. It's a shame they couldn't keep a presence here.

Are the rc 18r's any good at drifting? Would the exotek conv do any good?

M&M in Houston. They run there on Thursday nights. Just no electric racing at Gulf Coast raceway right now, which is a shame. You can run a 3.5 or 4T motor there all day long and the track will hold it. Cost you some money in tires though LOL. Ended up with a TC5R in a trade this week. Setting up to do a little TC racing, but looks like it could be made into a CS car very easily. Takes about 5 minutes to swap the diffs out, just need one with a pulley bigger than 40T and the car's overdriven.
