buying a new car

[wonton34]

Well I am loooking at buying a new r/c car and I need some help on which one to get. What I am looking for is one that is fast, can drift good, won't break to easy, and fast. But i don't want to spend too much over 200 dollars. Thanks

Everyone, take a look at this member. He is the perfect example of a good new member that knows what he wants. He doesnt give you the round-a-bout. Give yourself a pat on the back (its not very often that I get to complement a newbie for doing the right thing).

HPI Sprint, its fast, drifts well, its RTR, and is only $210.

yeah hpi sprint, or you could even go cheaper like a tl01, then use the rest of the money on hopup parts, probably what i would do....oh i did do that.....

If you are torn between two cars, see which one your local hobby shop carries parts for. This will save you headaches in the future. I have spent six dollars on shipping for a $1.50 part more times than i will admit.

Funny thing is i just up dated the drift thread. Look there. Got to repersent the site mike. Check the sig for rc drifting.

Thanks Mike, I think I just might go with the Sprint.

Ok, so as soon as I visit a hobby shop I will probably get one. People have been pounding me with different cars from like loosi team associated and tamiya. Is the HPI sprint better than those for a beginner? Just to make sure is it pretty fast and drifts with a little tuning.
Thanks

Team Losi is an excellent brand...for circuit racing. TA TC3 is good as well, Tamiya too.

I suggest getting the Sprint for a beginner.
