What do you guys think is a good drifter car? I used to drift and was a drifter for a while when I first started this hobby so I'm not new to it or anything. Some people say a TT-01 is all you need? What you guys think is a nice drifter car for me? Thanks

I'm a fan of the Tamiya Evo III although 4 and 5 are very good as well.

OK thanks. What are they worth new?

I'm not shore, I got the Evo III 2nd hand.

For a base one:
The TT-01 tamiyas and the E10 HPI are ok

next up is a Sprint 2 Drift like this

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXTHM7&P=ML

fully RTR with a 15t motor so decent speed. just need batteries.

up from there is things like Xray T2007/08, Tamiya TRF415 or evo's HPI Pro 4 etc..... If you have radio gear already i'd recommend one of these off rctech second hand. you get almost new carbon touring cars on here all the time for cheap.

i have a new 2007 corally RDX PHi with a new GTB/3.5R combo and spektrum receiver which i got for $440...... worth well over $1000 to buy new so i'd just keep a look out. otherwise go for the sprint 2 if thats more your price range. this is a great car for drift.

go to www.groovydrift.com or sydneyrcdrifters too. They have for sale sections and lots of setup help for whatever you get

good luck

Ok thanks for the help. I'll keep an eye out for a good 1 Thanks

Google up Sydney RC Drifters and have a look around.

I've been to a few of their events, and from what I can tell, it's basically like any other form of on road racing, or racing in general. you get what you pay for.

There are a couple E10's but I have seen one literally fall apart on the track. TT's seem a little better built, but run hot. A good carbon and alloy chassis will see you enjoy it the most.

Balance is important, so if you run something like a TA05, make sure it's balanced side to side.

Personal experience shows that shaft drive gives snappier response.

Fully ball raced, 3 belt drive train, CVD Driveshafts more of an advanced Drifter compared to TT01 and E10's.

Shoot me a PM if your interested.

Ok thanks guys. Ill let you know how I go.

if you find one grab a sprint 2. I got one that i gave to a mate, locked both diffs and its easyer and nicer to drift then my trf 415 (although that has a front one way) If you set a sprint 2 up well there brillant to drift. ive owned 3 now lol

If you're on the Goldy check out here for regular drift meets and so on http://www.driftcity.org/forum/index.php they can also help to point you in the right direction as to which car to go,

I would say depending on your budget, go for a good high end Race chassis. TC5, T2 Xray,E4, RDX, MI3 etc they make great drifters and also give you a great base to start racing too better build quality and more adjustable, Check the for sale section for used chassis as more than often you can find a great bargain, I'd also look for a used Novak GTB as they are a good sensored Brushless speedy with the option of reverse as well.
