Default I need some help

What kind of brand would you guys reccomend for a good drift car? I am thinking about going with Redcat, but I am hearing not-so-good things about them. So, any on-road drift car suggestions would be great. thanks

HPI has a nice drift car. Do you have a LHS?

Personally I'd say Tamiya or Associated. Losi, Traxxas and HPI make drifters too but the most drifters I see are tamiya and associated.

Ditto. Tamiya's TT-01 is pretty popular for drifting set-ups.

Same as above ^ buy something you can get upgardes for or spare parts just in case.
The TT-01 or the sprint2 are good drifters im not too keep on the E10 but others say there good

Also whats your budget ? spend a bit more and check the TB series from tamiya they do a drift version good kit for the money [8D]

My budget is around $500. The Associated teams website doesn't have the drift cars. are the cars you are talking about touring cars?

i drift an ASSOCIATED TC5 - let me say this nicely YOU DONT NEED A DRIFT SPECIFIC CAR - DRIFT SPECIFIC CARS ARENT EVEN DRIFT SPECIFIC... except the HPI PRO-D thats an exception they all touring cars and street cars with drift tyres and a few modifications... just like real cars manufacturers just add a beter stereo or better parts then sell the damn thing for twice as much and you posted this in the drift section also... once again i mentioned a tt01 but if you have money to play around with get a TC5 they are unbelievably good drifters then again id get the PRO-D
