hehe! of cos not man...if buy one of these, wun dare to try any crazy stunts...for that, i have my old Tamiya QD buggy...hahahatools, i tink i got some oredi...maybe get more along the way if needed...my progression for these mini cars started from tamiya mini 4wd...then move on to tamiya QD...then go to the uber-cheap Qida 747...then moded...then now wan to move to RC Drift.btw, i noticed there is also the hpi e10 model...are they any good? the price for a used one ard rm500+ only...looks quite new (3 months old?)hop-up wise...and drifting/performance...ok ka?just wanna make sure i make the rite choice...hehethx!
The HPI e10 model if not mistaken is a front mounted motor chassis shaft driven, this actually have larger weight in front instead of having it on the rear or balanced mid motors. ive only tested this chassis once and its ok to drift, as for the hop-ups for this chassis, it is also expensive but compared to yokomo, this one is still considerable...HPI e10 is an ok buy for first timers too. but i think u should consider looking for a new one instead unless the 3 months old have done some hop-ups and opt electronics...U can seek a HPI e10 in rc shops, the price for new one is quite cheap if ur budget isnt limited to some range below the price...but then again, if u are considering to buy the 3 months old chassis u should really check any flaws, scratches, cracks, faulty parts and lose screws...
There are some O-tai people in the R/C drift community already mod some HPI chassis to counter-steer (CS) drift like in the real world...this cs i think can be done on a Cyclone@Cyclone S HPI brand...maybe u should consider buying a cyclone if ure interested in CS mod...by reducing the rear diff ratio and spool it up, then get a one-way diff for the front diff to apply similarly as handbrake in the real world.
This is the webbie for some info Rcdriftrevolution.com or u can just watch some vids in youtube to gain more knowledge of CS...type 'counter steer drifting'....or any similar quote...
P/S This CS mod will make u even mad about R/C drifting...
CheeRS!!
