Please can you give me an approximate cost and also is it rtr?

I have a Team associated TC4 RTR . The car is awesome with good speed and drift skills. Can anybody let me know where to find brushless upgrade and led light kits for 1/10 scale car

hi there,

I am new to RC, and am interested in RC Car racing. What does drift mean? Do you drift the RC Cars? Where abouts do you do this?

Hi Newbie,

Drift is nothing but the art of sliding the car a given speed . The technique is really popular all over world. In order to drift cars u need to have slick tyres, less bulky chasis , good motor and lot of practice. I do not drift at any other place rather than in my home in bangalore. In case if u wanna to get a good RC car have HPI Drift version or u can have TC4 RTR with slick tyres. For beginner i would suggest go for less expensive cars ( NOTE: U should have 4WD car to drift). Also can learn the drift techniques from Youtube.

@mpowershopping can u get me LED light system and how much it will cost

Drifting is making the car slide by ensure the traction of the wheels (especially the back wheels) on the ground is minimal.  See this :



You can get specially made "drift tyres", or some people just roll electrical tape on the tyres to reduce their traction/hold on the ground. See the threads below on some tricks to getting your car to drift !

@MPowershopping
I am very intrested in buying the Yokomo car. i want to know how much it costs. What electronics do I require to get started?

MPowershopping,

I am also intrested in Tamiya. Do you stock the tt 01 ? If so, then how much is it with or without electronics?

For all you drifting fans.. See this video..

Im not sure you will get drift cars for that range. Even second hand will be more than that range.

You are looking for nitro or electric?

just asking. but do you really need brushless power for Drift cars? i think those brushed motors are fast enought for drifting...

Its not only about how fast the motor is. Its also about how much torque the motor gives.. That's actually more important..
That's why Brushless motors are used.. More torque.. Even brushed motors can be used, but its better to go Brushless

i have driven an HPI dirft camaro (brushed) of a friend and it was absolutely fast enough i think for drifting... acceleration and over steering was instant if required.

but this was in a smooth parking lot area. maybe the surface was too smooth.... maybe.

A brushless is preferred because more power is needed in a drifter.If you lock the diff,more power is better.

nice. i might just buy a drift car el cheapo. have tried it out and it seems pretty fun.... infact, i could even get good at it

If drifts were successful in nitro , i would ove to buy one, but the fact is that i is not!

i have tried drift nitros too.. but they are far too noisy for indoor or underground drifting action.

i would also like to drift with u too,i live in delhi in mayur vihar(close to noida) and i know a place for drifting,but u cant drift there after 7 pm

Hello people,
I need some help.. I'm ordering big nos. of this model. Factory has given me an option between Brushed and Brushless, I know brushless is way better, but by going brushless, the cost of the RTR is getting pushed up by Rs.3000.. Expected launch price of the below listed on road model with brushless is 18000.. If i go brushed i can bring it down to 15000.. People already into the Hobby wont mind the 3k extra. My aim is to bring in more people into the Hobby by offering good cars at reasonable price & 100% support.

So what should i opt for keeping in mind the budget of a entry level Hobby group..

Which BL system are they offering? Ratings of the system?

Brushed will die out quickly and it needs maintenance. Noobs won't do so and will blame the power system for failing since they don't know how to break in a brushed motor. I would suggest brushless but I'd like to know which system it is before making a complete suggestion.

Brushless system: 4000KV or 3500 MOTOR (yet to decide) & 45A ESC
Brushed System: 550 Motor, 25000rpm/12T & 45A ESC

Pictures? Name of the system?

its shaft driven,yes its good for beginers,but i wanted to ask if someone could adjust camber and toe on that car,like you can in an hpi's sprint 2 (i have one),and if it is shaft driven,that can(not neccesary) cause torque twist in the chassis,plus the motor is at rear and i dont know if the weight is balanced from side to side,anyways,i do suggest people to go for it as the sprint 2 is pretty expensive(26000 rupees!) and then do modifications like front one ways and lock the rear differentials(need to do that on mine) on their car,its a good value for money car by the way(thats a compliment)!

guys guys guys,i just want to meet up with all the people who have drift cars and are in delhi,i have some places we can run it together,here is my no.-43215792 or you can also call on 22713979,just want to meet up and have some fun,kind of make a group like sg drifters,but for that we need to socialise,and well connect through face book(if possible) .here is my facebook id-Sidharth Talia .please contact me ASAP
