Drifting Cars

[drumbeat]

Hi Guys,

I'm very inspired by the drifting videos! I wanna get one, I am actually a flyer and I own a JR 9X. Can I use a stick controller to play around? I don't wanna spend to much by having to buy an extra gun tx. Whats a good budget car to get just to drift? Is nitro good or electric? I am new at this so sorry for the generalised questions. Tamiya any good?

Cheers

If I am not mistaken, The lastest copy of RC World ( a Japanese rc mag) from kinokuniya comes witha DVD and on this DVD there is a segment on Drifting both a GP car and EP car. They teach you how to drift and the instruction was demostrated using a stick controller.

Stick or Gun, thats up to you. for me is gun, use stick dun say drift, normal driving also kiss fence. but in rctech, got people sell cheap cheap guns for $50. thats good enuff

budget cars....you can buy a simple TT01 to play. I used to use my TB02 for drifting till i got bored. the tires just go to winnie and buy from her.

For drifting, IMO, a EP is better as it's much easier to control. Throttle is linear. Basic models from Tamiya will be excellent choice. Stick to stock motors as you won't need speed to drift. In fact, hot motors tend to hinder rather than help.

BTW, it's much, much slower than what you see on the vids.
