no....

i got out of rc to found my riceline , and just bought one off a mate or 50 bucks , its just an e10 , crappest hpi of all , but for drifting it doesnt matter as much , i got it for 50 bucks , i can get you a mates car the same as myne for 100

but generally speaking you can pick up a nice car second hand for about 250 , if you want a brand new setup , and something pretty descent probly 400 mark , then if you wana get serious , like an mi2 or a cyclone and for a complete brand new setup your punching above the 500-600 dollar mark , thats full carbon belt driven setup.... technicly..not needed , who cares but man just buy one like myne , and have fun it does pretty much the same thing as something with billet an carbon parts , there isnt much difference at all , if you want a car shoot me a text 0421652234 and ill hook you up.

nothing wrong with used cars

im not gona argue about 20 of the 25 cars ive had were used , thats like saying dont buy a used real car?

makes no sense....

so anyway , anyone else?

no...

it's like saying don't buy a used drift car, you wouldn't expect it to be it good condition would you?

if the drift cars that you bought used were in good condition the people you bought them off clearly were not trying hard enough.

also lol.

I'm in the process of selling my setup for $600 to an interested SAU member.

It's been used once and is setup for 1.6 c/s.

Doesn't come with electrics but we can discuss if the buyer would like a ARTR setup.

i bought my cyclone off a guy who drives for hot bodies was setup very well , honestly im not good enough to keep it setup like he had it , i never raced it tho... i have owned my baja for 4 years now thrashed the guts out of it jumped it as big as it would go.. but ive also poured about 6 grand into it

its now for sale fully rebuild with all new bearings and almost new engine , rebuild shocks , diff etc.....

theres thrashing a car and not taking care of it and thrashing a car and having just as much fun keeping it in top nic after you've done killing it

your dribbling...............

real drift cars are mostly drift p igs...

but look at someone like.. mad mikes fd drift rig.... kept in a1 spec...

rc cars are normally ...NORMALLY kept in good nic cause its cheap to do so unlike real cars

i have bought so many second hand rc's

3 e fire storms

cen matrix truggy with lrp .30 in it

2 bajas

rock crawlers

cyclone

losi mini and micro t's

boats...

list goes on , i checked all of them before i bought and the owners kept them in good nic....

so "no" yourself ..........

thankyou :)

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
