Nice! I am thinking about getting a HPI E10, then getting a different shell because I am not a big fan of the AE86 or RX7.

 

I really want one now too haha

 

WTF!!:drool: Now I want one three. Sweet find. I was loving the fact you can't tell they are real until you see the giant tires and people. Going to search for one right now. I'm sure my wife will hate you for showing me a new hobby :agreed:

 

I know this may be old but did you get one? I saw some people at import alliance with some and they were by the club 3G group. They were pretty awesome to watch.

 

i used to run one of these. i made the tires out of PVC pipe, for extreme drifting action. i even had an old Xmod that i made drift like a champ (i was big into RC's about 10 years ago.)


but why is this in the moped/snowsled section?

 

It's mopeds to snowsleds and everything in between right?

Makes sense to me.

 

is it crazy for me to think they use this in like fast and furious movies?

 

Thats sick!!

 

where would u look to buy 1 of these?

 

Like not on the internet? Hobby outlet stores.

If on the internet, then just search for RC Drift car or anything to that affect.

 

aight thanks

 

there is a badass video, that has the music "leters to you", with RC drift cars. its freaking awesome!


i can find it though.

 

wow that was hard... all i did was type in "RC drift cars letters to you" ( i spelled it right) and bam, first hit.

 

haha I like how they set up action figures to watch the drifting :lol:

 

OP video rules. Suggested video blows. IMO

Go figure once again Scarr comes through.

google-fu is strong with this one, yes it is. (yoda)

 

 

How much did that cost and where'd did you get yours?

 

Its cost me around $260 for the RTR Sprint2Drift car with the new camaro body and the charger and battery pack. Then i found a site where they have all the accessories like headlights n all different type of bodies, n so i spent around $30 i think for the EvoX body(non-painted, they have an option were u can spend another $30 for them to paint it for you). Surprisingly I bought it at a hobby store by my house(I would have never guessed that had that kinnda stuff there) And talked to the guy behind the counter cause he knew alot about them. I LOVE IT, so funn!!!:yesway::yesway:

 

If i got one, i'd rock a silvia :yesway:

 

We got an R35, and drifted the wheels off of it.

 

I have a few. right now im working on a supercharged 4 stroke drift car. RBI innovations has superchargers and nitrous kits for these. Also i have the D box which is kinda cool, its traction control for the rc that automatically corrects after a certain angle which is settable.. the only problem is that the superchargers dont work on 2 strokes for obvious reasons, and almost all car engines are 2 stroke. so im tapping an airplane 4 stroke .30 :ndance: trying like hell to find a 3 g shell.

 

trying like hell to find a 3 g shell.

good luck!! they have become very rare. (in case your interested, they are HPI part # 7451)

i bought the last 2 i could find on ebay a while back.. i can't bring myself to install them on anything though.. i'm not very easy on my rc cars.. my last body died in a rocket-motor fire, and the one before that died doing(attempting) backflips in a skate park..

maybe i'll build a drift car for better use it..

 

Got an hpi for relatively cheap a while back. Pretty fun and durable. I dont think you will find a 3g shell though. You most likely will have to make one.

 

These things are so cool! I found this website (RCTradingPost: RC Drift Cars,Nitro RC Cars,Nitro RC Trucks,RC Hobby Stores) and it looks pretty legit. They have electric and nitro drift cars. They even custom paint them for you. I plan on buying the skyline r34 in the next few weeks!

 

what car are you planning to get?(the car and the body are 2 different things!!)

 

Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R Redcat Racing EPX RTR Custom Painted Electric RC Drift Cars

It says it comes with the body and the car mold ready to go. They offer a variety of colors for the mold as well. You know anything about the brand though (durability etc..)?

 

Red Cat is middle of the road. Alot of copanies on ebay sell these with HPI bodies and rip people off for hundreds of dollars. The cars are ok, but you have to buy red cat parts for them.... You Get what you pay for.

 

^+1

the BEST thing you can do is to go into the local hobby shop, and find out what brands they carry.

those are the brands to pay attention to. because it sucks needing to order parts online and wait every time you break something--if your anything like me, the car will get broken 1 out of 10 runs--and this has nothing to do with the car having poor durability, just that i push my stuff hard, and sometimes get to close to parked cars, slide into curbs too fast, flip over obstacles, people that get in the way, etc..

the last thing you should be looking for is the body--the car body is really easy to change, and if you have the space it's easy to paint yourself. all popular r/c cars comply to well-set standards for sizes, so nearly any model you pick will have a ton of bodies to choose from.
