Remote Controlled Drift Cars (good Xmas Present)

[Taso84]

Was wondering whether anybody happened to catch the ads last nite on TV for the remote control drift cars that were on special.

Wanted to buy one for my mate for Xmas but forgot the name for the place.

They were advertising them for $130 from memory so they make a pretty good present for any car enthusiast

May be the same one you're looking for..

I have a Yokoma Drift car but it certainly wasn't $130! more like 7 or 8 hundred when you add radio gear, ESC, Motor etc

Thanks,

thats the one - looks to be dodgy from the sounds of it though

yeah i saw that commercial as well, sounds interesting I may check it out. last xmas i brought a battery drift car on eBay for $90bucks as i didn't know if i'd get into the hobby much or use it or not etc. going the cheap version to start with was a good idea for me as i know now i wouldn't use it enough to spend top dollar on a good one. if i go to this place tomorrow i'll just be picking up spare batteries etc. but i still think my 90dollar buy was the best xmas present i've ever brought myself

i just bought 1. not from that place, from dandenong near the plaza.

cost me like 270 for the car and u assemble it FROM scratch EVERYthing like make ur own diff drive shaft even your own damper oil in your home made suspension and springs, then the remote was $100 (wtf?) i know, and battery was like 35, and charger was like 60, and red paint was 10 bucks.. so it all adds up but its loads of fun, does AWD burnouts and leaves marks on the kitchen floor lol.

I also dumped it on its ass looks hot (RX7)

Went there Sunday morning and it's shit. Honestly if the decent cheap stuff was there it sold out before i got there. They just had a few RC cars at $400+ and a couple of rc helicopters. I have a small rc chopper that i bought for $35, they had one very similar for $50

SALE pfffft what a joke.

i work around the corner from that place...there was hardly anything left when i checked it out last friday.

all the cheapish stuff was gone, and most of the stuff was $300+ ..might have restocked it but yeah fyi.

Nope, i found them more expensive there.

[_bobo_]

oh man the adds were crazy, i want a drift car so bad was gonna go down..i emailed them about week ago and guy said he had rx7s if anyone interested.

There epic but pricey IF you want a good one. Took 4door_33gts there, we got one from Hobby Man on Mccrae St in dandy. in total for all the stuff you need. car/remote/battery/charger/paint its just under $500.. i've got 2 of them and there pretty fun.

i would recomend this dandy one there really good quality thats if your willing to pay 350-500 depending on what you get.

I'll attach a pic of my S15 currently making a R34 Z-Tune

p.s- If your going to buy a drift car make sure its an electric one, the Nitro ones arent the best for drifting. + electric cheaper to run ^^

my bro bought a petrol one from the hobby man in dandy. they do sell good gear there.

[WYTSKY]

looks great b3za! really making me think of getting one.. but I wonder if you can pick up r33 shells?

[Rekin]

the city place is over-priced china stuff. A lot of people come back to return and they chuck it back on for sale.

Just go to the dande hobby shop across the road from dande plaza.

Friend picked up a savage XL for $1000 with all the accessories.

It's a monster and can go through anything lol
