Thankyou |

Hummmm. I think 3Racing (#KIT-SAKURA-S) SAKURA ZERO S 1/10 Touring Car is a cheap good car, just in my opinion...
I think this kind of belt drive car requires nice clean surface, otherwise rock or stuff might damage the belt? Correct me if I'm wrong... |

Thankyou guys for the advice, do you know if the 3 racing kit would be difficult to get parts for and will it set up to be a decent drift car?
Thankyou |

I don't know how hard they are to get parts Your going to be mail ordering for sure. Ebay has a bunch of stuff on their site.

Is that a good drift car?

I haven't drifted it yet there is still snow on the ground. But overall it is a good platform for drifting or a spec class racing. The local track has a class like that and a lot of people are running them. My biggest gripe on that car is the gearbox's are molded into the chassis. The shock towers are attached to the top of the gear box. When you break the shock towers you can destroy the rear of the gear box. To fix it you have to buy a whole new chassis. Good thing they are around $9.00 to $12.00 depending where you shop. The plastic is a bit brittle. Some versions of the car come without bearings that is the first thing any car needs. There is a mountain of upgrades and spare parts for this car. Overall a thumbs up from me.
Exactly! I never could see a big advantage on those pricey chassis for drifting. |

You can buy a Tamiya or HPI RC drift car.
