I would stick to a name brand with availible parts and hopups. That car your looking at is a break it and forget it. Stick to name brand ei. Traxxas, HPI, Losi, Team Associated etc.

ok, so would you have any suggestions of cars no more than $220?
But if i was to buy that car, if i bought drifting tires would it actually drift or just grip?

 

[HPI-Killer]

Depending if your going for electric or nitro and running it indoors or out. An electric with foam drift tires inside would work great for drifting, but nitro would require actual drift tires which Hot Bodies make and have heard great reviews on. But you want actual rubber drift tires for anything outside or the car will just shred them up. As far as a new electric or nitro new is almost out of the question, you will end up spending around $400 for nitro, and $300-400 on electric. I dont do onroad anymore but the electric and nitro version of the HPI RS4 3 EVO is a great drifting setup, and if you have troubles actually drifting, they make a Drift Box with auto assists you while your sliding.

yer I'm going for more of an on-road at the moment as i do not want go flipping the car on its roof all the time. but i am looking for a nitro though, having a look at car now.

 

[HPI-Killer]

I would say this is your best shot at getting everything you want in one packed combo set

For an entry level or a not so name brand yeah. Its not a popular name brand but they are known and not sure about adapting upgrades, but replacement parts for sure. I think any really known hobby shop online will ship overseas, if not most have a "contact" page where you can ask.

 

[rclearner]

yer thanks for the input, they do do overseas shipping aswell. thanks alot man. How long do drifing tires last for, will probably be using the car for bout 1-2hours a week.

 

[HPI-Killer]

I never got my car actually running before I sold it, but I would say a couple sets a month depending on the surface your sliding on.
