Thought I's start a new thread dedicated to R/C drifting seeing how members responded positivity and were asking questions on another thread.
Guess this thread can be used to share knowledge, experiences, links and for noobs to ask questions.
Guess I'll start, I bought a Tamiya TT-01D about 3 years ago, this;
1/10 R/C Nismo Coppermix Silvia ÂiTT-01DÂj Drift Spec
Through the research I had done the phrase "TT-01" ALWAYS keep up as the best base car as it was very very popular thus meaning tons of upgradable parts and loads and loads of shells available!
I have it all built up but I haven't had it out yet, guess towards the end of it I lost interest and other things took priority. But now I want to get it out and get drifting. I guess its an inexpensive hobby and gives me something to tinker with!
Here are 2 videos which I always seem to watch to get me motivated to get back into it all;
SSR Real Drift vol.1 - YouTube
2010 Korea RC Street Drift Challenge - YouTube
If you are looking to purchase one probably the best site to visit is Remote Control Cars and Radio Controlled Cars from Modelsport UK
That is where I got mine from, although when you are buying an R/C car you must also purchase a R/C controller, battery and charger. If you purchase one brand new do not expect it to come pre-built they are not. When I first got mine I was very apprehensive as I had to literally build it from the ground up;
But in hindsight that was ideal as I got to know the car and how it all comes together. You can buy them off eBay second hand but If something was to go wrong you would find it much harder to diagnose the problem.
Thats basically mine, all I now need to do is spray the shell, install the headlights and away I will be going. Once it is all set up I will be purchasing different shells and perhaps stance it alittle. Here are afew examples of what can be done with an R/C car;
