New HPI Savage XS

http://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/106571/





Looks nice but im not really a fan of trucks

[RIPEBREDFRUIT]

Never really been a fan of HPI, they are good...but Traxxas seems to be a bit more rugid and perfect for the beginner...

PLus you can get parts available locally from the Dealer in chaguanas

[SR]

not that i know of they stock traxxas parts as well as you can order parts thru them

[RIPEBREDFRUIT]

Nope, but if you buy it from them and theres a problem im sure they will give you some manufacturers warranty

[SR]

[troublemaker]

noob question.....how much would it cost to acquire one of those drift rc's?

[Ronaldo95163]

Entry Level will range from about 120-180US
Hobby/Enthusiasts level may cost from 200US and up

What ever you decide to go with make sure it isn't the E10...i've heard that they're crap and they don't last long...you might wana check out the Tamiya TT01E/TT01D.

[RapToR]

^ na i think he's telling the truth lol

Are these available locally? Including parts n accessories? Who do you recommend to purchase this from?

[Ronaldo95163]

@ Pioneer

I don't think Tamiya parts are available locally but they can be imported rcmart

http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/

Or Ebay.

@troublemaker

I'm not sure if these vehicles are available locally. Amazon sells Tamiya vehicles at reasonable prices. If you're gonna be doing competition drifting I suggest you get a kit(No Electronics included) I believe the TT01E comes in kit form.

http://www.amazon.com/Mazda-RX7-LEDs-Kit-TT01/dp/B000LY06AY/ref=sr_1_4?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1311116234&sr=1-4

You could also Check out the Ofna JL10E

http://www.amazon.com/JL10e-Electric-Drift-Sedan-Assembled/dp/B004B5I43K/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1311116283&sr=1-1

I suggest you check out the TT01E as alot of parts and hop ups are available for them online.

Also if you're going to be drifting ensure that you have a great motor & esc combo. Try not to exceed a rating of 4200kv motor as you'll be drifting. Anything excess of that will just make it harder for you.

Also invest in some aluminium hops. A kit like this would come in handy

http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/rc-tt01-yeah-racing-ttck01-coversion-tamiya-tt01e-p-28691.html

Companies like 3racing and yeah racing manufacture parts for Tamiya. You could also check ebay for these as well.

[troublemaker]

Gracen thanks for the info...i'll do a bit more research n see wat i can come up with.

[Humes]

Ketchin mih ass tuh control this copter!!!

I get the hang of it in terms of just flying it half-inch off the ground, but I fraid no ass tuh go any higher. I might just wait till I can go in a park or something, even though it's an indoor thing.

[RapToR]

Hmmm i got ah wrecked Traxxas 4tec chassis from raptor some years back, wanted to do a lil project n convert it to electric...wondering it is makes sense

I gonna get back one in the year


That was fun

[Humes]

I FLEW IT!!

It gets a lot more manageable when you actually lift it a few feet off the ground. It moves a lot slower, which is good.

It take real licks tonight, so I know I shortened the lifespan...but I figure once I show baby girl a few flights, it will be worth the $250 or so it cost overall.
