hpi sprint 2, and tamiya tb-02 are both great for drifting. i have a tb-02 and there are tons of hopups available. what is your price range?

popdada

$200 tops...

i love hpi so thats all im going to reccomend in this post
drifting i would reccomend the HPI sprint 2 drift sport(its RTR though)

mini:cup racer it is a fully unassembled kit

TB-02 definitely, if you love building then I find Tamiya kits are the best.

I'm not sure if anyone makes a 1/16  or 1/18 kit though, the AE RC18 R/T/MT is a good choice with good parts support.

I say keep going for tamiya kits, cheap, fun to build, great looking bodies, and tons of hop up parts.

if you mean 200 dollars for the kit alone, then you should be able to decide between a tb-02 or tb-03, the various sprint 2's, and the hotbodies cyclone, which is the sprints cousin. all three are great for drifting. i would still go for the tb-02

there is a topic for tb-02 resources with over 900 posts.

Are you looking at the standard ta05 , IFS, MS or R version?

popdada

standard seems to be in my price range, the others are nice!

if you're gonna end up buying hop-ups fo the ta05, then just buy the IFS-R or if u feel like spending, the MS.

i bought my ifs-r online for like $230, you just gotta search around in google.

popdada

sweet! I'll see what I can find!

I got my TA-05 R for around $160 used on ebay.  Still in great shape and saved me some cash.

The IFS is no big deal unless you're using bodies with low front ends.

rcmart has a lot of the stock TA-05 and TA-05 IFS for under $150 as well but shipping is probably $35 or so.
