Lukew360 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Check out HPI cars, I'm pretty sure they do a kit version I've got a HPI Savage (4x4 Nitro one) I think it's about time I got it running again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 http://www.hpieurope.com/That's the website link, they do some awesome cars and most model shop retailers stock them.Only thing with the electric/drift cars is that they sit so low to the ground and your average car park just won't be practical. Hope this helps.CheersLuke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

addz Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Tamiya TT01 is the best electric R/C money can buy - the mods are endless.I have a TT01 myself and so do mates, they also use them for drifting.I am going brushless soon, they are RAPID with the right set upTamiya TT01 drift videos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
durmz Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I think its pretty cool, but, sport?? lol how can it be a sport man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Any thing you can call "competetive" is a sport!! And to answer your question Japstar, I've heard these are pretty dam quick. Once you get used to it you can buy uprated motors and batterys ect Keep us posted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anup67 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Wat about the petrol powered ones? those are quick...and make a better sound Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 It's a hobby more than anything The petrol / nitro ones aren't as fun as the electric ones in my opinion (when it comes to drifts) - I've had many and still have a few petrols in the loft - great fun. With the right brushless motor inside - they can beat nitro / petrol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Petrol ones are a pian in the ass. When you get it started you put the shell on and it sways stalls. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Petrol ones are a pian in the ass. When you get it started you put the shell on and it sways stalls. LolThat'll be nitro ones, and they can be a pain up the arse I have never had any problems with my FG marder 23cc petrol car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan, you're talking about 'nitro' which is model fuel. Pertrol ones run on 'unleaded' and a mixture of 2 stroke - they never stall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 lol. My bad. that was a accidentle double post by the way!the fuel is like a pinky colour and smells super wierd. im going to try and get it started tonight for the first time in years! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
japstar Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 so go electric then? suppose there easier on tyres and no fuel.but can they go faster than a nitro?????i was told the electrics drift way better too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Nitro fuel can be green, pink and a few others from what I've seen.You can make these electrics rapid with the right brushless motor.. more fun than nitro I would say.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAvQGYfc11s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Electrics are better for drifting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Electrics are better for drifting Others would detest, but I definitely agree Quote Link to post Share on other sites
