the 1/5 scale cars can cost up to 7000 dollars.

I race with my father at morebank nsw we use the rs5 carbon fibre chassis 4 wheel hydrolic disc brake 5 horsepower 25cc komatsu with heaps of work done to the motor its a real hoot. runs on unleaded not nitro.

if you put pvc pipe strips over the tyres you can drift pretty good.

its easier in a 4wd car than a 2wd too much oversteer in a 2wd.

Looks like a lot of fun.  Interesting to note that there are electronic aids to maintain stable control in drifting.....

and there I was, thinking you young kids are really talented!

Someone could make a fortune if you could develop an equivalent kit for a real car.

HPI have just released a drift box that controls the countersteer via an onboard yaw sensor...it can make anybody drift like a pro. when they are released in the states i'l be getting on for my TC3...Hey Nang u should check out my Savage one day....3.6hp three speed trans....wicked fun man....

hehe yeh i had a savage a coupla years back when they 1st came out, awesome fun but i could never tune the mofo right so i ended up selling it after a couple of months.. spewing now though !!!

I had big dramas tuning my savage until i found a septic savage forum and found some info on there. there savage motors are bad for air leaks so the first mod is to reseal the carb and engine back plate. the also suffer from a half tank lean out problem so fitting a header tank fixes that. once you have done the the rip....

yeh I went on to some of the savage forums, fixed the lean out problem and read every savage tuning guide known to man but still not really any luck haha.. I think im just useless when it comes to tuning stuff haha

I saw one of those HPI 1/5 buggys the other day at Perth RC, daaaaaaaaaaaaamn they are impressive!!!

heavy as f*ck, really well built - even the tyres are beadlocked to the bloody rim hahaha.. would cause a shiiteload of damage at full noise into the shin/a car/ a kid/dog etc

$1500 with everything which isnt too bad, maybe 4 taxtime

about 4 months ago I got a scale model drit 200sx Drifter!!

good fun!!

it is electric but very quick!!

you can choice how much control you want on the back tyres by putting plastic bands on the rear rubber!!

if you only put 1 band on it is like a normal RC car but as you turn the back pops out about 30* and you swing it round!

as for big drifts put all 3 bands on and you swing round like a monkey on heat!!

the kit comes with an electric speed control so you can power out of a coner and control the angle of the car!!

they are about $500.00 for the kit!

but that includes everything from car and body to RC.
