Which is the best n where can u buy them?

I wanna find an RC i can drift but not one of those cheap ones, if u know what i mean.

I mean all this talk with modifying(is that how you spell it?)the suspension, rims, etc. I wanna go look for one myself.

At first i brought one of those Auldey racers till i realized u can't modify a thing about it except for the motor.

Then i brought the bit charg cars. Pretty ok with all the modifying business but it's small so no hopes of it actually running fast or making it drift(you can buy special wheels that make it drift but it looks so stupid on the car)

So to sum it all up, I want an RC that's got quality, speed, it can drift, and endless modifications.

Oh, n i live in Vancouver so a location would really be helpful, otherwise just give me any info possible.

thnx

first any radio control car with skill can drift.

second you have to ask yourself how much you want to spend and if you are buying it just for the sake of drifting then is pretty usless.

You have to also ask if I am going to spend upward of at least 500 to 1000 dollars do i want electric or gas and also you have to ask since I am spending all this money is there a race track where i can play with other people and compete.

Now as for drifting there are multiple ways of doing it. on carpet is a little harder if you are running foam tires but still can be done.

The most basic way to do is is to set your cambers on your car. Set the camber to a negative setting will help drift better.

One more thing drifting cause wears on your tires. These tires are about 20 bucks for a set on average. So you have to ask do I really want to waste money on it. Ofcourse you can use the old tires till they literally shred to pieces. but is no fun. Go to your local track and compete in races is much more fun

as of high quality cars here is the list

Electric 1/10

Tamiya TB evo
hudy X-ray
Team asscoiates
HPI

Gas

Serpent
TC3
Yokohoma

You will also need a remote for both cars
charger to charge the battery pack
Nitro fuel if you go gas
glow plg starter for gas cars
starter box for gas car if you don't want a pull start engine
.12 engine for the gas cars that does not come with an engine

Spare parts (lots of it)
