Sharkfat78 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hey guys, just wondered what drifter you would recommend for a noob? I did have an HPI Sprint 2 but sold that for other projects. I plan to get a drifter in the new year and figured I'd ask on here which one you guys would suggest. I don't have a budget as such as I'll be saving for one, and I'm not bothered where I buy it from, although I do want a new one. I'm happy to buy a kit so that's not a problem, but I don't really want to buy one that I'm gonna have to spend a load on upgrades to get it to drift nicely. The Yokomo DIB looks a nice bit of kit (its the red! ) but people keep mentioning the MST and the Sakura D3 also. There are so many versions of these cars by brain has imploded.

Waz1176 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hi the mst is a good place to start from plus soul rc is only down the road from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb1974 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 If you afford go yokomo, if not mst. If on really tight budget and don't mind fixing a few weak spots, try the d3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfat78 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I keep looking at the Yokomo DIB V2 on RCmart. Even if I get my pants pulled down by customs I'll still save a fortune on one. For the money it seems to be a lot better than the MST. I'm sure if I bought an MST and got it up to the same level it'd cost me more anyway. Plus the fact everyone I know has an MST so I'd like something else lol. There are two versions of the DIB on rcmart. Ones about $390 and the other is about $500+. Not really sure what the differences are but it did mention something to do with bulkheads :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb1974 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 There should be the cheaper DIB ver. RS with more plastic parts and the standard expensive carbon and alu DIB Read somewhere that even the cheaper (cheaper relative to it's brother) RS is a good drifter.

heavyleftthumb Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 nothing wrong with most cars for a starter pal MST are nice. DIb are nice too but beware they dont come with cs kit, you will need to buy that seperate. sakura d3 are ok but do need some additional parts to work as they should. Which ever you decide it will make the world of difference if it is setup right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
