HandS Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 On rcdrift.org? Yea mate, im a member of rcdrift.org, but there website is down at the moment. Cool footage man Looks like fun! Also looks expensive, would love to do it but im only allowed one expensive hobby and thats fish! Thanks, drifting is very cheep compared to racing, but still costs a bit to get into. It is very much like keeping fish, you can make the hobby as cheep, or as expensive as you like. it is all about self control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 My RC has a drift stick built in. Push left, it drifts left. Push right, it drifts right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozski Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 and how much is one looking at paying for a RC drift car and controls? Just curious. BF jokingly said one of those would be good for xmas, but I somehow think its out of my budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandS Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 i know people that have got into drifting for under $150. bit i would allow about $300. if he has been into rc cars before, he will probably have parts lying around that can keep costs down.

scott16 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 no offence to rc drifting but if you have the money its way worth it to go 1/8 nitro i race a hong nor truggy and its the best thing i own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 i've sold most of my rc gear Still got my cyclone, but sold the V-One S & V-One RRR nitro cars, don't have the time Still got the radio gear though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Personally, I kinda think if it doesn't have wings or rotors, what's the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive heard a few figers thrown about with what the guys are spending on the nats..... ill stick to drifting...... for now :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott16 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 it is mate i just went to south islands and it was awesome i was going to nats but ive only been racing for 6 months and theres guys coming from ausy to race and there level is way above me so i decided not to waste money on going lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakin insane stuff!!! Link or BS. I find it hard to believe someone actually built a 1/8th scale working rotary engine. BTW most rotary engines are twin rota's (10a, 12a, 13b etc).

Loopy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Personally, I kinda think if it doesn't have wings or rotors, what's the point? my husband and you would get on like peas in a pod. It is not M(ultiple) T(ank) S(yndrom)for him. He has M(ultiple) A(ircraft) S(yndrom) For a bit of perspective i think hubby is planes as Billaney is to fish.
