Radio controlled things

Electric RWD is pointless, you will always spin out or never get it sliding.

I've got a 1/10 awd drift car, made it rwd to see what it would be like, there was no point lol.

I've got a HPI Macerick STRADA Evo:

Bought it about 6 months ago and its great fun, not brocken anything and its taken a few knocks, It does need a better battery though as it runs out of juice quick.

mines currently slammed to the floor with about 5degrees negative camber and spacers, put the "stanced" polos on here to shame :lol: In time it will be going lipo with a better motor.

eric: £115 and ready to run :thumbsup: - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HPI-Maverick-STR...=item35b9f94986

I've had 1 since I was 14 so 3 years, it's a tamiya TT-01 street car but drifts nicely with taped tyres. The body shell is my fravorite none vw car, Nissan S15. Not done much to it as I don't have a clue.

Here's some pics;

How it looked from new -

And now -

Taped tyres ready for spraying when the weathers better if you were wondering about the tape.

So far;

Removed stickers, tinted rear lights, black bonet and boot, new control unit due to interference with sky remotes and a broken aerial, removed spoiler.

To do,

Spray rear wheels, tint front lights, marker pen orange indies, cable tie front bumper, fake exhaust.
