Cheap Drifter

[Benny_Boy]

Hey guys. what would be the cheapest rc drift car out there. im only a learner so looking for some thine that will take crashes. Can a mini drift? What would you pick a mini or a tt01? Cheers

tt01, minis are cool fun, so i guess it is personal preference.

mite get a mini. dose any body drift these?

[Redline]

No, because they tend to either be front wheel or rear wheel drive.

Tamiya currently do not sell or manufacture 4 wheel drive Mini's but there is a 3racing conversion for a tt-01 to make it a mini chassis (4wd) or you can get a HPI Cup Racer which is 4wd.

just work out a budget and there are heaps of people on here who will tell you the best place to put that money. tt-01 are good starting point, and you can bling them too. After that decide how serious you want to get.

you'll be better of with a TT01/TA05 kit though.

I reckon save a little extra and go for a TA05, HB Cyclone or TC5, at least that way you wont ''outgrow'' it in a hurry, i reckon the TT-01, while a great starting point, is a little limited especially as you start to improve.

Parts galore for the TA05 and plenty of scope for customisation and mods, great solid chassis too, refused to go near a Tamiya til i got mine and now i wont look back

yeah i just got a ta05 countersteer id say its well worth getting the 05 im luvin it already. i also upgraded from a TT01 there a good bigginer car and durable but apart from that they are pritty limited as agrorb says.

[Benny_Boy]

Thanks for the comment guys. Which ta05 is the best one to use for drifting?

[AGRORB]

Just the standard one bro, haven't seen too many IFS's being used for drift and the ones i have have been converted back to the standard upright front suspension. TA05R comes with a few upgrades already but you should have no problems with a standard one, fairly cheap too. Like i said, HotBodies Cyclone is also good and basically HPI/HB's equivelant of the TA05, i ran a Cyclone S last year and loved it, also very well priced and parts are also readily available. Up to you really
