    Nice.  Have you drifted the FWD car yet?  How does it handle compared to your HPI?

    I have. For the amature it takes some getting used to. You really feel that weight in the front. That back end come sliding real easy. A little squirrelly at first but quickly got the hang of it. I can tell this car will give me more precision drifting.  The Hpi is smooth as butter I like the center motor mount for its weight distribution.  Any part is super easy to get to. Only problem is parts are hard to find. Not all just some.

    Hey chase since you have a decent variety of cars with different setups and layouts there why not take a little time and put us together a little mini comparoson? Stuff like how tough or weak each one is, how hard or easy to drive, good or bad manners, good or bad for beginers stuff like that. Im aslo curious about their drivetrains. Smoothest, cleanest, toughest and whatnot. Tell us what and why your hpi is the favorite. And I missed what one is fwd? I thought all the ones you had were 4wd? The hpi and exceed  I know both are and I thought you were replacing pullies on the new one leading me to believe it must be 4wd also. Is this not the case with the sakura? It looked to have a belt going to the rear?

    Someone needs to order a 3rd intercooler. The Subaru is jealous  ;)

    Edit:

    What is the blue body? It looked like a wrx to me but the sides looked like a nissan?

    Yeah the blue is a wrx. It was my first body When I got started to get deep in the hobby. And the sakura is 4wd with front motor,  so fawd I think. Ill check on grand turismo. Lol.
    I did have a third intercooler,  but gave it to joe last summer. Haven't heard or seen him in a year. And a comparison sounds like a good idea. I better start writing down notes. The difference will be that in the hpi im running brushless and the other 2 are running brushed one 20t the other 12t. So might be difficult giving their all running different power.

    I would take all the stickers off too. Thats rad they left the windows clear.  And the black looks sick looks like flat black. Just gave me an idea on a new body. My girl wants the m3 bmw body. Im gonna see if she wants it matte pink.

    Tamiya makes a clear that gives the flat look. Spray it before your pink and you have a flat. I have sandblasted the outside of bodies before also to get a real nice flat finish. Gloss is over rated 8)

    Do u spary it on the inside? I've seen a lacquer type that u wipe on the outside mainly for like short course bodies on the back where the fan stickers usually go.
