Hellaflush yo! haha

How do you like the Sprint 2 Sport? I have the Supra Aero body and I'm trying to decide which chassis I want to go with it. I've considered the Dash because it's cheap, E10, and Sprint 2.

I cant say much as ive never owned any other chassis. But ive only heard good things about this chassis,such as the mid battery and fairly mid to rear motor makes the weight distribution awesome compared to others. Also the camber adjustment is incredible(idk if all RCs are like that or not).I got mine for 200,only ran twice and included the entire kit, charger,and 2 extra sets of rims. Hyperdirft.com seems to be the best forum ive found so far.

Hellaflush yo! haha

yea its so easy with a RC car as you can change the body height without adjusting the chassis height haha.

I know the E10 and the Dash aren't as good as the Sprint 2, but this is also my first serious RC car. I'm trying to put some serious thought into the motor I pick. I'm tempted to pick up the RTR Sprint 2 Drift Sport. Anyway, this is the body I have, awaiting a chassis.

[SupraKid]

Sweet body If you end up not getting a chassis ill take that off your hands. I personally dont wanna use any nice body right now as i run the damn thing into walls so much id feel bad As far as I have read the sprint 2 drift is almost the exact same as the sport, just different tires. These things are def a lot of fun and really cheap compared to 1:1 cars.

However now ive gotten into a local drift group and all of them say the Tamiya TA05 is the best drifter out there, and at the next meet-up ill talk to them and i may be selling my sprint 2 sport for one.Rcmart and towerhobbies seem to be the best bets for cheap parts and kits as well.

But head over to hyperdrift.com and start up a thread! They are VERY knowledgeable and dont tend to bash noobs much. Its like 6gc.net minus 95celicaST

I just checked out towerhobbies.com and I can actually get the E10 for 3 payments of $63. Not bad at all. I don't think the E10 is as good as the Sprint 2, but for the money... It's very tempting just to get started. I didn't put all the decals on my Supra body, only the ones that were necessary. I need to repaint it, and the decals weren't the perfect size, but it's a good starter car.



Edit: Your thread convinced me... Just bought the E10 from towerhobbies. It's a good starter kit, and I just sold some books and that paid for it. It's coming with a Mustang GT-R body, so I get to get started and wreck that before dropping my Supra body on it. You can switch it from touring to drift, so it'll get me started for now.

Idk much about that chassis, but i know with mine it was recommended to lock the rear dif, and mod a few little things here and there for cheap.

My user name is Ask92 on hyperdrift

[richee3]

Same goes for the E10- lock the rear diff, get a better motor, 22pt pinion, and then a whole different chassis. It's not really worth modding, as I'm finding out from reading on hyperdrift. My username will be incredibly obvious- you can't miss it. Thanks for the tips

[SupraKid]

Yea, ive been tempted to get a new motor for it, but my crawler needs one so much moar, but the 1:1 whoar is taking my $ atm and soon the BIG 1:1 whoar will take alllllll my money

[presure2]

i used to be into the RC stuff several years ago...got an old nitro t-maxx still, and a losi XXX-S that was the wifeys, with a bunch of truck/car bodies that i painted..ill see if i can get some pics later.

[SwissFerdi]

Maybe I should just get an RC Miata since I can't get a life-size one...

I'd love to have a T-Maxx. But I'm an RC n00b and on a budget, so I just stuck with a low-quality electric chassis. What kinds of bodies do you have?

You could make that happen pretty easily. Under $200, and get started drifting too.

Yokomo makes a Lexus IS 300 body. I might have to pick one up pretty soon and paint it blue. I'm loving all the potential that these RC cars have. Plenty of options to upgrade, interchangeable bodies, and drifting that doesn't destroy $500 tires.

[SupraKid]

Any kit+this= Your dream ferdi


Ive seen a few st205s are well which would be great saying they are awd. I cant get any rwd body and strap it on a awd chassis, it seems...Wrong :\...So im limited to the r34,gtr,sti,evo,Porsche,lambo..So limiting

[richee3]

Got my E10 today. So far, drifting is not going well, and the Supra body does not fit on here well at all. But hey, it's all about practice.

[SupraKid]

2 day shipping? O_O omgz i need to have a talk with tower hobbies haha. Looks pretty sweet , my STI was similar with the wheel gap aspect. I ended up cutting the bottom "lip" off(the gray part) and lowering it down so there would be no wheel gap and the body wouldn't hit to ground.


Its ALLL about how you drive and tires. I have 3 sets:

1.Basically hard plastic on rims, these put NO power to the ground but make the car drift like a mofo(uncontrollably). But they are on my best offset rims so i have them on most of the time.(also its fun when just screwing around as sometimes it can hit an awesome drift and you act like you totally ment to do that)
2.These are most likely the best, as if i hit a corner hard enough i can get a good smooth drift with a good amount of control
3.These are the toyo proxies of the RC tire world.They are IMPOSSIBLE to set loose(unless in the wet) but turn the car into a Street RC car.

Drifting also varies ALOT about the surface your on, smooth, new pavement is the best thing evar ive found so far. LOCK THE REAR END. It was a good mod, as it makes the rear slide out must easier(when its not locked the front are rear are basically the same).How doesnt the supra body work?The beauty with RCs is moding them is 100000000x easier than modding a real car lol. Is the e10 belt or shaft driven? Also ive started learning..as its awd, when you start to hit a drift...let go of the steering a bit and let the tires go straight a bit and it makes for a better drift. I think i have this problem as i imagine this car as RWD.


Edit: i know there are more people on here with RCs..i guess ill have to go hunt them down..

The E10 doesn't put out a lot of power, but it's shaft driven. I think my first upgrade will be a more powerful motor. (I already regret not going nitro ) I still have to lock the rear end. As far as drifting goes, I can get the back end to kick out in my bedroom floor which, as you can see in the pictures, is basically a fake hardwood floor. I have a smooth concrete floor in my garage and the car won't drift there... yet. Get an upgraded motor and a couple of other little things and it should be good.

One of the body pins tore my finger up pretty bad earlier... I wasn't watching where I had my finger and I slipped the pin right into it. Must have bled for an hour. Moral of the story, this thing is more like a real car than I thought possible. It kills me but I love having it.

The Supra body... There were indentations on the body for me to drill holes. I did that tonight, and they aren't in the right place. The rear end sits on the chassis just fine but the front end sits too high. I have everything set as low as possible. Looks like I'll just have to cut some of my posts off But everything is just slightly off... It needs some work. I'll get on that tomorrow. And there HAS to be more than just us with RC's. I mean, I finally bought my chassis simply because of this thread. If I did that, I know that somebody has to have some RC's laying around.

Heli-Max Axe CP

[SupraKid]

Nice blinky!!

I dont regret not going nitro, i mean for power i sure as hell do. After talking to people using nitro for a long time they have it gets damned expensive(not just the gas but the engine maintenance) and they wish they would've gone brushless elec.

Tires tires tires tires...Get a GOOD set before you do anything..

[azn87]

electric for the win. now and days u can have a electric go just as fast as gas and less maintenance

[SupraKid]

Just ordered new belts, and an entire metal suspension subframe(i snapped my front axle retainer ) ...how much do you ask?20$ shipped

[SupraKid]

Shes back on the road :

[SupraKid]

1 year bump. Sprint 2 sport was sold because I threw it into too many damn walls . At one point in the wet I threw the car into the corner of a wall and is just MAULED the rear end. Shattered the whole rears suspension, bent the axle, broke the rim. That was the point at which I said **** this, Ill get another one sometime. But I just bought this baby today:






Kamikazzee lower chassis
Proline upper and cage
Metaled out axial tranny
novak 55t motor
Locked Venom axles
2.2 rs10xt beadlocks with moded swamp dawgs
RC4WD esc w/ drag brake
Traxxas waterproof servo
2.4ghz tactic
Integy metal shafts
Aluminum Front steering knuckles and Cs.

Will be taking the nice parts off my old rig and then parting out whatever is left.

Wish i would of seen this sooner
I just sold me 1/16 slash an erevo

But hoping to get another crawler before the end of sumker

[kurt95gt]

I had a bone stock sprint 2 drift an it did great

Ill have to seebif i can find the youtube video
There use to be one of me at a rc fun run drifting my old pink an silver g6 over a table top ramp
it was team associated tc4 onroad car with a rally conversion.

[SupraKid]

Lol yea I seem to like the crawlers more because of where I live. With the right setup and surface(granite) it'll go up almost literally anything one way or another. The looks you get from people are just priceless. With the sprint 2 I remember people would come around, but not really care, as it was just a generic remote control car in their eyes, but when you straddle a shear rock face with a crawler people will stop and comment. I remember at the beach once I had just upgraded the motor and tires and was just fuggin around on this cliff, then my sister comes up and is like "This thing is pretty popular eh?". I turn around and there are like 6 grown men just standing and watching in amazement. After I told them the price tag they seemed to lose interest however lol.



EDIT: Already sold enough parts off my old crawler to pay for the new one!(Axles, shocks, tranny and esc)

I use to have 3 crawlers.
Losi mini crawler. Axial scx10 with a few mods to look more realistic. And a tamiya f250 hilift with a home made lift kit an 2.2 crawler tires
Then the wife still has a venom creepy crawler
I also had a custom build fj cruiser that was 4 link in back leaf spring in front with a 2 speed emaxx trans
Axial rear axle an tamiya front

Wish i still had the picks to share

[SupraKid]

Very nice setups. I have venom axles on my current rig, just sold my losi shocks and axial axles. I attempted to build a cage, but it didn't work out so i just gave up and bought one lol. I may attempt to build another custom cage again sometime, but it wont be for a while if ever. Any you on RCC?

Ive always wanted to try and recreate my brothers 1:1:


Looks A LOT different now though, should get some updated pics, this was in like 09 when I was painting my first celica and got to drive his cobra.

[Red123]

From where can I buy ST205? or there's no remote controlled ST205 on the market?

[SupraKid]

Yes they are around but VERY VERY rare...they generally pop up on ebay if they ever do... I think tamiya makes them.

[SupraKid]

You can always use the axles and tranny then sell the rest!

[kurt95gt]
