ya thats just what i wanna do with my hpi pro 3, i wanna get one of the bodies and the wheels, (or use electrical tape), and i wanna get those little inside brake rotors that arn't real they're kinda making the car look more real.

I tottaly agree, i want to put it all on my TB-01. Funny how a rally car goes from offroad to onroad drifting. What are some set up tips? Also there a website where i can read on techniques to drift? Or That it teaches u to drift?

Hey get the yokomo car then. its just yokomos electric touring car with drift wheels and tires and a different body. if you want to convert it to onroad racing switch tires and buy some hopups.

IDEA! this doesn't happen much
anyone in utah like the salt lake area or park city, chould come up during the summer some time, i have a park with a pathway that is about a meter wide, and about a football fields length down the whole thing, and is a downhill course the whole way, anyone wanna do a drift meet here? if yes, we can wait for snow to melt,and go for it, if you dont know how to drift your car go to rcdrift.com, this will be fun as hell, but currently it is covered in snow...

it's been forever since i was into rc cars.. i still got my megatech nitro razor and i am thinkin about gettin a 240sx body.... can't find one though. these cars cost so much to maintain though.. thinkin about just gettin a electric car. need my real car first though. that 86 looks pretty good, and unless hpi has stepped up their detail in the last year, then those bodys are more detailed than hpis. not tamiya though..

ya i had a nitro, it was a t-maxx, actually still have it, and they are hard to kep running, and the 240sx body is the only one i've seen, abc hobby makes a sileighty tho, i plan on getting that in the future

I want the 180Sx too. As far as i know the only company that makes them in drifter style is yokomo. Here is a link to a website where you can buy the kit for 200us$. the body shell is not sold seperatly as far as i know. they offer a couple of other "drift" dodies at this website like yukes AE-86

Sorry they also sell the AE-86 and 180SX bodies by themselves there. although buying the rims tires and body seperatly would cost about 3 75$. so the kit seems a beter price/what u get ratio.

the yukes ae-86 is only a body it doesn't come with a kit, but after seeing this site, i had many plans for differnt bodies that i would wanna get
