yea ur right i wouldnt go belted after all. uhh nitro is always goodIf 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!

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.gifOkay 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
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.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...........
traxxas engines are NOT the best, get a novarossi, picco or O.S engine and drop it in any traxxas vehicle and youll get a very noticable increase in performanceIf I was you I would Get a Nitro 4-tec One of the best there is really.
