Sup you into drifting. Check my sig out and join. All about RC drifting.

Ones a belt ones a shaft. Shaft driven is usually a little stronger, however there are more parts to it, and its a little more expensive.

Either is fine for drifting.

Howielong:
awsome site and stacks of info, thanks man



how good would a HPI SPRINT be for a beginners drift car
any info would be nice

[Howielong]

Your welcome dude. I see you signed up. The sprint is the lowest rc i think hpi makes. Im looking for a RTR car right now. So i think you should looking into a nice RTR car that you can upgrade sometime in the future.

[mike@af]

HPI Sprint is an excellent RTR.

[Howielong]

Sorry about what i lastly said. I ment the dash. That is the cheapest kit they have. The sprint is a great car.

dash is a cheap rwd car, but rwd drifting is more fun, but sprint is perfect for drifting, lots of aftermarket parts and drifts really well

hey u guys are nitro cars right?

im shaft and i think its heaps more better than belt

to me i think it has better respones ma friend has a belt drive car it pretty good

costs more for belt cars i think ma friend pays 15 bucks for a set of belts

plus if ur belts n gear gets stuffed u end u payin quite alot of $$

i got shaft its very strong my gear cost 10 bucks plus the shaft joints to the gear box is inly $3

i dont think they make shaft driven gas rc's, and talk better if you post its easier to understand
