Hi all,
Midnight Society (car club I help run here in Aus) are beginning to get into rc drifting - figured I'd join to the bandwagon too with my wealth of rc knowledge (lol).
I've already decided that really I want the HPI rs4 sport 3 kit, HPI in some trouble but dammit they make good rigs ?
But, if anyone knows of any other kit chassis around the same price that has readily available parts and is around the same price (check your area prices, for me the kit costs $245AUD) hit me up!
Looking at getting the hobbywing juststock club spec combo, for its looks more than anything. Anyone know much about this range of hobbwing stuff?
Again if you have any better alternatives I'd love to know
For the steering servo I've chosen the Power HD 1206TG - 7kg digital servo. Its under $70 and I feel is more than adequate for an on road scenario. I looked at the savox range as I have one in my savage but I can't justify the high price tag for one like I could for the savage (I broke like 4 before moving to the savox one I have now).
Wheels/tyres I'm not stressed about - the variety for this rc type is insane!
Gonna be getting the ali shocks and locked rear diff. Front diff I'll keep open with some light/medium diff oil. As a drift car I need the back to slide out as easily as possible but still be controllable.
This is a long term work in progress - I hope to start it soonish though. I will keep updating this thread as time goes on for anyone interested!
I'd love to put some HPI Savage forum stickers on this rig to represent this fine community too!! Something I'll (with permission of course) look into doing.
Again, I'd love to hear everyones thoughts and ideas! I want this to be a strong rig with minimal fixing required so any input would be amazing!!
Cheers all!! ???
