Took about 9 hours, first rc kit I've ever done. I'm impressed with the kit, and I can't wait to take it on the road! I've also got some new wheels and hpi pro compound radials so I can race it as well as drift it.

Nice! Get some chassis shots. What transmitter is that the Futaba 2pl?

I'll post some more pics in a second.

Transmitter is the Futaba 2PL, yep.

So, I us... Forgot all about the body film when I was finishing the model.. (don't blame me, I was up all night building it... I was tired. hah) So when I took it out to road test today (that thing is a blast! it hauls ass with the hpi low profile pro compound radials I got.) and crashed it a few times, I was reminded of the film and, heh, I tore it off with my decals and all... So, where can I get a spare subaru decal sheet?

oops.

Clean chassis. To bad about that subie body. How well does it drift?

and it's alright, I'm getting a bmw m3 body soon for free. :D

It drifts pretty decently so far from what I've experienced, but it's only my tenth time or so even driving an RC car let alone trying to drift with it. I bet once I take it on a better road surface and get some skill, it'll drift mean.

However, so far I'm having more fun running the road radials and doing drills and up and down hill chicane runs. :grinyes:

lookin good mate i have one the same sweet

yeah man, it's a blast. I love it.

im sorry if i sound stupid but is that electric or nitro?

btw that's awesome. how much do those "drift spec" r/c cars cost?

how exactly do you drift an R/C car?

i have a nitro RS4 type SS and i am interested, but with beind AWD i dont think its possible

Between $200-$250 startup contest.

really?!?!? dang i thought theyd be less than the nitros since u dont have the complicated engine

200-250$ IS less then nitros.... your average hobby grade nitro is 300 dollars.

really?!?!? dang i thought theyd be less than the nitros since u dont have the complicated engine

That is a lot less than a nitro. I payed about $400+ when I had a nitro on road, and about $600 when I had a TMaxx. Like Josh said, the basic nitro starts at about $300ish. However, if you get towards the top of the line in electric you'll spend just as much. My Schumacher is about $600 with aftermarket parts and such.
