    I'm an off road basher/ racer. Looking into an on road car, for drift and race, any input? NO NITRO! hate that smell! Lol

    P.s.... I'm a father of 3 so nothing to break the bank, just all around good fun, I was looking at the hpi e10 falken drift then just buy street tires or foam. Bad idea????

    eBay is a great place to look.  I just did a little search and found a few nice deals:

    I think any of those would be a pretty good start.

    Adam, has a car, just needs tx/rx, so I'm gonna get that cuz the price is sweet. And I still need the esc from you, lol, the on road car is rtr, minus the trx/rx, good for an off road basher to get into street and drift.

    I also hope this weather holds until the weekend, or comes back.  I'd like to check out your Sprint.  Any photos to show us?

    It looks ready to go.  Now if we could get a few dry days so the parking lot puddles will go away.
