Unique1 Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 lol, I think I will, but not the R version, I'm thinking about going for the focus as I can get it for £63 (i DONT like the body, but I dont care, I'll get satisfaction when I crash while learning rofl ) and adding a Carson Upgrade kit. The add some HPI drift tyres (expensive , I want a constant set-up, depends on pipe availability where i live) and adding a nice body (not sure which one yet, maybe a yokomo silvia s15 ) I just love the way the HPI looks I'm pretty sure on the tamiya though.

TAMIYAMANUK Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 tell you what iam no drifter but with the TA-05 in the rite hands this car can keep up with some of the xrays out there and is amazing racer as i have one myself. but a TT-01 my mate had the problem of broken hubs and dog bone problems when he had his so i told him scrap it and get something more like a TL-01 which in my mind is a better car than the TT-01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm uber tempted by the Yokomo ones....REALLY tempted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unique1 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Yoko drifters are overpriced for what they offer. No motor etc. Get a HPI drifter instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unique1 Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 guys, changied again! as I dont actually like the idea of buying from Hong-Kong and have the possibility of it going wrong and having no warranty etc. I'm now thinkin TL01 as It seems to be well balanced etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unique1 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Tis a bitty more doshy but how do you guys think a Mtroniks Colt Pro would perform, its all carbonfibre and aluminium based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan9787 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Mtroniks colts are rubbish, they may look good but you will be very hard pressed to find parts. I have a HPI Sprint2 (normal version) in nearly new condition which i am selling, i can sell it with electronics or without, have tons of spares for it, some hop-ups and some bodyshells that can take some abuse. It includes a set of HPI Stage-d wheels and tyres, which is the only difference between the normal and the stage-d version of the sprint2. Take a look Let me know if you're interested!

jt2k6 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hiya I'll add my two pennies for what it's worth. I'd get a HPI micro RS4, some drift tyres and the drift assist gizmo! and the solid front axles, or buy the complete drift version, the chassis is a peach and you can easily switch between the drift or race specs, thats the route i would go down! ttfn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classic Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 i just got a TT01 calsonic skyline (r34) and its is brilliant for me because i just wack it down on the road outside and its usaly abit damp so me back end get's out and its ace i got stock everything exept for the propshaft i upgraded that and it seemed to help it alot (much better response) i got it for £60 posted off ebay (it was a english seller) and i had to assemble it but its well worth it and if ur scared about assembling it, i shouldn't be, i found them realy clear and simple even for a dumbass like me but yeh i reccomend a tt01 from my point of view and my brother has a tb02 but the diff's are gone on them and he is struggling too find parts for it. so i wouldn't go near a tb02 from my veiw all i need now is some pvc tires and i'm ready too drift its as simple as that hope this helps vinnie merry christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
