R/C Drifting FAQ
How much does it cost?
They retail for about $229, but you can find them online and various places, from about $199 and up.
Do I have to put it together?
No, the Sprint is RTR it comes with everything needed to run it.
Is it RTR (Ready-To-Run)?
Yes, the kit comes with full electronics and you don't have to do anything but charge the battery and install some AA's in the transmitter and you're off.
What bodies come with it?
The sprint comes with either a purple Porsche 911 turbo or a white AMG Mercedes, they are painted and that's the only way they come.
Should anything be upgraded first?
The only thing that I would have you upgrade would maybe be the tie rods, and the motor other than that it is a solid machine. The only reason for upgrading the tie-rods is because they do not have adjustable camber settings stock, and the motor is a 20 turn, it works for drifting but many people like to use 27turn motors just for the added torque.
What kind of shocks come with the kit?
The kit comes equipped with oil-filled shocks and some standard springs, these shocks are very well designed and work tremendously well, there is no need for upgrades with this kit.
What type of things should I expect to need to drift this thing?
First off, you just need some electrical tape or some PVC, then skill comes into play, so it basically drifts it's self if you are good enough.
