thought about it, then decided not to get into rc because its not my thing, i got into airsoft, a little more dangerous since i got blasted from 6 ft away on the lip but anyways props to those who can do that rc drift

i have 2, they are hard to maintain.. everytime you drive one, you have to change sumthing... they run on "nitro gas" they are cool tho, single piston engines, carborated, 4 wheel drive(new ones have driveshafts the old one used to be belts) so when you wanted rwd you could pop the front belt off, and fwd pop the rear one off... you gotta break them in, by running tanks of gas, like 2 idle, 2 1/4 way throttle, 2 1/2, 2 3/4, 2 on and off.. etc.... tanks last anywhere from 10-20 min depending on how u drive it......to get them going right out of the box, w/ a starter kit and a thing of gas, your lookin @ close to $400 so it isnt cheap

they are fun, but they take a long time to learn how to control, and maintain.
this is mine

i recently sold a blue skyline body to some kid for like $75 too, i used to paint body's and sell them to make money

those skyline bodies are goin for major dough on ebay, hard to find and there's a huge premium if you want one....

I also have a nitro one too and they are definately hard to maintain.....I might have to try throwing my drift tires on the nitro and drift at 50mph
