Over the years, people have come in with all types of Drift R/C Cars. These are the cars that worked the best, based on the bottom line – Money.
We aren’t big on RTR Kits, but we also understand that you need start somewhere:
Budge Friendly and decent to get started for a beginner:
Kyosho Released a new Fazer chassis D2 Drift Spec. The electronics will eventually have to be swapped out, but overall the car is capable on the track. Aftermarket parts available and Original Kyosho parts available. You will need to buy a charger for $70 and a battery $55 for this package. The car is $425. For our track add tires $25 $575 Total plus tax Click here for more information
If you have built R/C Cars, this is a decent start:
Yokomo RD 2.0. RTR – Parts availability is #1. A lot of parts from Yokomo chassis’ share parts. Yes in a couple of months you will want to trade out the Controller, ESC, Motor and Gyro from what I have seen. The chassis is very capable of performing at a higher level. You can look at other brands and in all honesty the parts game and how fast you will upgrade to a Yokomo chassis or Reve D is where you’ll lose money. With the RD 2.o Chassis kit you won’t be in a big hurry to upgrade parts – $725 Total plus tax Click Here for more information
