Hey.
Welcome to the forum.

I STRONGLY suggest not to get the HSP. It has no upgrades, maybe just a few, spare parts availability is low, it's fragile, and there are better options.

We do not drift at Zabeel Park anymore, this where we drift..

You should think about the TA05 IFS (Tamiya), TT01D (Tamiya), HPI Sprint 2 (HPI), TB03D (Tamiya) and if you've got a fat wallet, you can get something like a TA05 MS, HPI Pro 4, HPI Pro-D, or a HB Cyclone...

Save up and get a branded one, HSP isn't a great brand...

welcome to the site rc joe! feel free to browse around. we have guys here that are willing to help you start

welcome to the forum man,

i'm with adbull here if you can afford to go better to a tamiya or hpi i would recommend doing that.

there was a post about a month or two ago discussing the HSP, have a look through the forum i'm sure you'll find it...

saying that i think there are 2 guys here using them, you may want to wait and see if they have any feedback for you...

WOW!!,...that was fast..didnt expect to see ur replys soo soon ...thanx ppl.well,ill see if i can find the post fr the hsp's,....i tot the car those cars cud be modified!,the thing about tamays n hpi's is that theyr all plastic man!! the drive shafts the springs n everything,they look even more delicate that the HSP im jus gettin into this hobby n im not expecting a gr8 car but one that is atleast good value fr money n can be upgraded :| ....What abou thunder tiger's? ...n pls let me know it there r any good second hand cars fr sale...i checkd out the market place but frankly all the specs n all that ull guys talk abt,im nt too familiar with.holla back..

hey rc joe, how much is your budget for a really good rc drift kit

depends..at the moment its 850,but i cud squeez a lil mor frm my dad if i have 2..

I'd sell my kit for 600 if you want. its 1 week old, bought from Hobbies Zone for 1050. I'm planning to buy TA05v2 or Sprint2.

It's RTR just need to buy battery.

Cool!!...what brand is it?...n can u put up some pix?..n the specifications... :cheers:

It's full bearing, aluminum shaft, graphite upper and lower deck, locked rear differential. Stock tires still in pack(unused).

...Oh, and by the way, the TT01 IS BOMBPROOF.

And dampers can't be made of 100% plastic (springs as you reffered to them).

The piston is made up of metal, the springs have to be made of a metal (OBVIOUSLY)...

Trust me, I'm only recommending the kits that are strong, good, upgradeable and competitive.

TT01, TB03D, TA05, TA05 IFS, Cyclone S (the S is a downgraded version of the real deal)...

You will get everything. Body, Radio and everything that came w/ it. The only thing missing is battery.
