RC Drift cars - Where to buy and recommendations please?

[jonesey]

My family and I have locked ourselves down. I've never had a drift RC before but this might be a nice time to have a play. Does anybody have any recommendations on where to buy from? I have a couple of criteria:

1) Ideally RTR but i could turn my hand to construction and buy a painted shell 2) I really like faithful representations of cars like the Tamiya kits rather than generic shells so would like to be able to switch shells.

Budget is up to GBP250 all in with a little flexibility.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Go with HPI, they do a range of faithful drift replicas.
Dont expect to do much drifting indoors though unless your already quite good at it.
Empty car parks are the best places. And go for the drift kits with hard drift wheels.
Oh and 4wd is easier to drift in RC,this is not the real world and RWD is a lot harder and has no connection to real world driving skills.

This was mine on an HPI Pro4 chassis with T Drift tyres and the S15 shell. I also fitted the right offset wheels to fill the arches properly.
