If I was you I would Get a Nitro 4-tec One of the best there is really. If you want anything to drift DO NOT GET A Belt driving car...like a RS-4 or anything like that, I would stick to traxxas though, There motors are the Best if going Nitro, and they offer replacements for Cheap....As Long as you follow Break in Instruction's you will be good, I was and still am in the hobby for the last 5-6 years, If you have any ?'s PM me!

well u see, u can get a 2 if u want but most touring cars are 4wd becaus they handle a lot better
o and with rc it really doesnt matter because on all four tires, u will have to either make drifting tires out of pvc or u can buy them for all four tires

if u only want to drift buy this

But i do warn u if u ever want to get serious down the line, ie race or even take ti down to a local track, then this isnt the right type of car

i don't think i ever want to get serious, but i do want to have a car i can take down to the parking lot down the street and have lots of fun with. i just don't know what i need, and i don't want to tell her to get me some piece of shit car that will only last for like a week or something.

If you want to drift look at a yokomo prebuilt or a tc3. To drift get an electric because they have the upper hand in torque by far in the lower rpm range. Also an electric is easier maitnence and require less as a battery will last years while a bottle of nitro will go bad after about 6 months depending on your humidty. Though if you don't mind the lack of tunability get a tamiya TL01, though i am partial to it as it is what i have i must admit the car is bulletproof and is built for begineers to get used to the controls.

nitro drift vid



yea i used to be in the hobby a lot until the last past year in a half...just felt like givin it up. All my rc cars are just sitting here...i am gonna actually replace the parts that need replacing then sell them after i make sure they are running good.

now flying Rc planes is better i think. its more of a challenge

i was looking at helicopters too lol. i saw one in a Brookstone and thought that'd be fun. but everything i've heard is you pretty much break your first couple.

 

[Crodski 10+ year member]

^^ lol thats pretty **** true ive been flyin for a while now and i dont even want to attempt at one because they just take to **** long to learn how to fly/hover...but when u do it is pretty neat

but yea the Tc4 is probably the way u want to go imo

I would have to suggest getting the Jato. I have one and there stupid fast just make sure you get the 3.3 motor.

 

[Parker G 10+ year member]

Traxxas Jato that is. You can see it came in if u look at my Suzuki ad in the classifieds, it's a little down the page in the back ground

Maybe you should do some reading up on the forums, Ultimaterc and Rcuniverse come to mind.

Okay bottom line...Gas Powered touring cars go fast but with gas there is the whole tuning/cleaning up to deal with...if ur new to RC, get an Electric touring car. They go just as fast and are easier to clean. the down side is that they can get a little expensive depending on which one u want and what options u are gonna get. O and if ur looking to drift with an RC car, u actually want to downgrade to a slow motor because the high power ones will be too hard to control

here, chedck this site out for a good idea of touring cars...It is also a monthly magazine soo u should go out and pick it up, it is very helpful

and the Ae TC4 is a very good beginners car

in all my experience, electric cars are waaaaaaay easier to make them faster, and can be way faster than nitro. but nothing beats that 18k rpm scream //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

gas=nitro, well kinda, when most people say gas in rc cars they mean nitro, but in the bigger 1/6 cars and stuff you actually use gas in them...
id go with nitro, its not hard to tune them once you get the hang of it, and because the exhaust smells good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

but i have no idea about drifting cars...........

gas RC cars were actually increasing in popularity last time i looked. i did a double take, because i did not expect that trend lol.
