Not seen this one before - let us know how it goes. I've seen the 3Racing front-motor drifter and I'm tempted.

Does this come with overdrive / or overdrive options? one way?

There is a clone at R2 hobbies which costs £60 inc postage. I bought it a couple of years ago (I wasn't aware it was a clone, I just wanted something to build that was cheap). I have a build thread on my blog.

check youtube and a guy called killersushi, he did a complete review of one and the car came with a good rep for its money i would of said a couple of guys on the D1RC fb page also have them and say there pretty good

Here it is no electrics yet but looks good
Added cheap alloy shocks
Gotta stealth mount the body yet
Steer from the rear oh yeah

[johnnygibbon]

lovin the drift revolution at the min , the car is good but after searching forums online i thought the ugrades to be essential, with these fitted it looks good and should be mega reliable,
The steering angle is nuts to
Can't wait to get drifting beetween rounds at bury
And yes jimmy you can over drive it with pulley options
I have a 39 rear and 40 front
So it should have just a touch of counter steer also thinking of getting a stability controller
But it's a bit like cheating to me

[johnnygibbon]

Servo and stealth mounts fitted
Need to get an ezerun in it an I'm away

Mint dude.

bit of an update , i started drifting with a 19t brushed set up and it was powerful enough but ive now got a ezerun with a 5,5 brushless its better on runtime and power
im now experimenting with shock positions to alter grip on the front and back and will be doing some messing with the gearing of the pullys once i get it set right
so far though its very smooth , more forgiving and predictable than a tc based drifter , just need dry tarmac and a bit more set up and im ready
stealth mounts are great to
