Advice on alloy and carbon chassis on eBay

[dtb71]

Hi all,

 

really new to the hobby and just wondered if anybody has any experience or opinions (are they good/bad, can you get parts for them) with the following chassis being sold on eBay 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/078055R-G4-Alloy-Carbon-Fiber-Frame-Kit-For-HSO-HPI-1-10-4WD-Drift-RC-Racing-Car-/311840983607?hash=item489b2bca37:g:qcYAAOSwDmBY3G8v

 

They do look good to me, but I know nothing about the hobby.

I recently bought a Team C (Absima) TD10 with carbon looking body which was advertised as a drift chassis but I quickly realised it is a touring chassis with little adjustment available on it so not wanting to buy something else that will not do the job.

 

Any advice much appreciated.

That is a good price.

Seems to have adjustment in all the right places.

The only thing that would put me off is spares and parts.

 

The Sakura D4 is a decent, proven chassis.

Well worth a look.

Thanks scratcher, I have looked at the D4 and have found it for £119 4wd, less for rwd. Looking at this though it seems to have everything that you would hop up on the sakura chassis. It looks like you could get spares from the major players to fit it, hopefully. The TD10 I bought has next to nothing unlesss you really look and go into dimensions etc. and then you realise you can actually use mst, kokomo etc parts.
