Drifting R/C Cars

LancerEVO5 · Sep 28, 2003

Yeah, I see a lot of Electric racers get all pissy when their spurs strip all out of whack.

My car doesn't overheat so It's cool with me you know. :-)
I'll post pics of my air duct later when its done.

One thing I hate about my car is the springs though. I need stiffer springs. Mine softened up and I have to use the preload spacers just to give it some resistance.

Anybody know a good spring color to use on a HPI RS4 3?

Cool, thanks for the site. HPI cars are expensive? I just didnt buy anything else because I have a friend the raced in the HPI challenge and won 1st place in nitro stock in 2000. Then he went on to race in france but didnt place top ten. the europeans did so that was whack. Do you got a nitro car?

hell no, i could never afford those mothers, i'd love to have one but too poor...

My dad is gonna be selling his RS4 3 on ebay soon.
He's got all the turn buckles, and highspeed servos and the 2 speed. he's got a suspension setup better then stock. It has a new engine and expensive tuned pipe. I'll post it up here when its on EBAY in case anyone wants to purchase it.

oh, most nitro TC's have the motor on the left side of the chassis...
I'm not much of an HPI fan, so I guess I've never payed much attention to em lol
on that NRS4 vid, it says over 50mph, and they fly by....
do those look increadibly slow to anyone else?
if that's 50mph, then my car does 200 lol

I've been wanting a nitro car for a while. Maybe I'll buy one once I get a job.

I'm all for the HPI cars, I dont know much about other brands. They kind of look cheap to me. We have a friend that owns a hobbyshop and I've seen the TC3 box. It looked kinda crappy. I'm not dissing the car though because I know they can go really fast! I got beat by one when I entered my first race on a touring track. I've gotten better, but I race my best at my home track.

Damn, what does this have to do with the drifters forum?

You do realise that there are R/C Threads already on GTP right?

Here and here.

There has also already been one here in the drift forum.

If you dont like the thread then dont look at it. It has to do with the drift forum because it is my R/C Skyline that I DRIFT.
So that is why it is in the "Drift" forum...
