Bazzokajoe Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hey guys, As title, Recommendations? Looking for one to build into an enclosure in the boot of my car, produce a body shell to match my 1:1 and have some little and large scale drift fun! Dont care what shell it comes with but ideally i want to be able to choose from a selection of wheels to find some to match my big toy! Thanks!

Bazzokajoe Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Had one in the past, I'm kinda feeling something marginally longer.... Any experience drifting one? -side note- You're in North London? Ever get out with the NLB guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 No, I don't really bash any more as I tend to do more racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenyboy Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I got one of those with a job lot the other month, it looks impressive. But the guy who I got it from said it burned out as soon as he switched it on. And he couldn't get a refund out of them. I priced up getting a hobbywing combo for it, which is around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzokajoe Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yea, It looks like a nice piece of kit for not a lot of money... In my experience its very hard to break a touring car, let alone a drifter where there is little to no traction - they just seem to bounce off whatever you hit! I think I've narrowed it down to 3 kits, https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=41779 - bit unknown - the one I'm leaning towards the most... Anyone know if wheels from anything else fit it? https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=63441 - Seems ok, not as nice as the above - paying more for the body which i wont use so is a waste... https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=24387 - like this, seems a bit more suited to road use but is a bit short and wide for drifting Micro RS4, - Dont like it as its belt driven - very small belts at that! I'll be using it outside so this isnt ideal... Carisma GT14 - Adjustable, Desirable but discontinued :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) If your interested in buying the first one, you could buy mine. Edited April 7, 2015 by Glenyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzokajoe Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 For 30+ 15+ P&P that puts it too close to the price of a new one, sorry man. Thanks for the offer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 No worries, the car is new though. And it'd have better electrics. As I said before the car went pop nearly straight away and hobbyking jogged the guy on, so bare that in mind when you buy new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
