top rated rc drift chassis under $150/

This makes me question why I bought a Brand new 29er. Now I want a RC Touring car....

Is there anything in the >200$ Range that would be a good start for me? I was looking at the tt-01 and the HPI E10 but then i still need to buy a body, controller, batterys etc.

Kinda want something decent that i could get kitted out for around 200$ for now.

I wouldn't get the e10. Sprint 2 over the e10. I wouldnt really bother with a "ready to run," but that's me personally. If your looking to be running out of the box the Sprint 2 RTR seems to be for you.

I think it's like in the 300$ range, but then u get everything u need to go out of the box.

I was looking at that one.

[E30_Pare]

You can browse around on RCtech

Check Craigslist too. Might be able to find something cheap to get started and see if you really like it.

Ok, I want an HPI Cup Racer so I can put that 2002 body on it. Anyone have one they want to sell?

[E30_Pare]

There's a couple mini cup chassis' on my local Craigslist. I could pull em up & you could contact them. Maybe they're willing to ship who knows.

[E30_Pare]

Motor in. All wired up. This chassis is a pain to wire. I absolutely hate the intended setup.


Took a little chassis customization with a dremel, but managed to pull something ok for now.

dude i love my drift car. i gotta buy a connector to my comp so that i can turn down the power, at least while drifting. maybe some touring tires so i can really get it up to speed!

also there is a lot of jiggle on the wheels. is it supposed to be like that? if not i would much rather put a spacer in between to make it more sound

[E30_Pare]

U should be able to turn the power down with the radio.

A little wheel shake is fine. They're all going to do that. If u shim it may make it a little to tight to function correctly. If its really bad then go ahead & shim it. Glad ur enjoying it

im pretty sure i can completely tune the esc, im just going to buy a comp hookup and do my thing. along with the touring tires, im thinking about getting some large rally tires. and maybe waterproof the components somehow

HPI Sprint2 Sport. My first RC chassis and I think its great. There's a little to be desired in the mods and handling department but overall not a bad starter. With a few tweaks to the steering/suspension and some aluminum parts it will serve you well. All thats really needed to make it a really solid RC is a faster steering servo and Li-po battery/ESC combo and your good.

Sort of OT, but has anyone ever flown one of those little indoor electric helicopters?

I just recently bought a Syma 107G/HeroRc H288 for like $24 from Amazon for my 10 year old son and it's unbelieveable how much fun this thing is! In fact, I just bought another one for myself.

[Pl3wA]

i actually think i have 2 lol, i may get them out again, i think the tail sections completely disintegrated unfortunately

Here's the one I bought. These things are badass!!!! Absolutely the MOST fun I've had for $24 ever.

We used to play with those when ever we drank. Used to set up courses out of beer cans then try to max it out on my friends monster 30ft ceilings.
