R/C Drift

Hey all;

Just lately, i bought myself an electric drift spec R/C car. After having tons of fun, i’m left wondering who else out their has them. I know there’s got to be a bunch of people interested in R/C Drifting due to the amount of people that like to drift real cars.

So let’s see what people have. Feel free to post pics, comments, and spec’s of you cars.

Depending on interests, maybe we can set up some R/C drift meet or even set something up at a real son240sx meet.

Heres what i have:

To be amazed, check out youtube.com R/C drift vids.

Sick!!!

I’ve seen these for a long while now, they’re cool and all but just like a video game, the real stuff is where it’s at in the end.

They’re fun tho, no doubt!

i got a fd and subi. with some sushi drift tires!

i have a tt-01d with a wrx body no pics

I was looking to get one of these. I saw one with an S13 body. Is Tamiya the best one to buy?

^^ Tamiya is a good company for RC cars

i got a tamiya with a couple different body styles … i think a skyline, evo, sti and some lambos… i dunno i was into it when i was in highschool and couldnt afford real cars

I’ve been in R/C for a couple of years. Fun as hell, but with the money I’ve been spending on them, I could’ve been spending more on my real car lol…

I’ve got a Tamiya TA04-Pro with a Celica and an R34 GT-R body. I’ve also got a nitro truck as well as a few other offroad stuff.

Anyone know where I can get a model car of a 180sx or 240?!!

Ye these are expensive but cheaper then insurance on a real car. Or for me, own both and drift both. they are good head turner in the parking lot.

For around $400 + a case of tuborg beer, you can have everything in my pics. I bought a Tamiya drift spec rx7 w/ led tt-01d to start from Advance hoobbies.

Same here, but im looking for just the body. no one seems to carry it around Toronto. I found some for $70 online but thats a lot when you still have to pay boarder charges.

Also, those shifter carts look sweet! probably cost a fortune.

Definitely true, although I don’t really consider GT5p a video game :wink:

Yea, Yamaha karts (5sp) cost around 3-5k.

I honestly plan on buying one for the future. That shit is maaad tight :wink:

Also, I would have soo gotten into the whole R/C scene… but as a youngster … i feel as if it’s a bit played out (for me). I like toys that I can ride in lol.

I pussied out and bought the “put it together yourself” models instead:o

lol ok 3-5k is a little far out of my range. for that much i can buy a real paint job for my 240sx, or buy a 240 that in good condition and doesn’t need fixing. lol

heres my nitro drifter!



This was my rc drifter back in 2005. one of my fav shells.
