Question Rc drift car

Just wondering where the best place to get a proper rc drift car would be? And roughly how much I'd be looking at paying? Saw some at rising Sunday show the other day and it made me want to get one again! I know there's a few hobby shops around but if anyone can personally recommend somewhere in particular?

Rest assured that the kits being used at RS run in excess of $1,000 (more like multiples of), one of the guys had a digital controller and they aren't cheap.

Try Stanbridges in Mount Lawley but I'd suggest shopping online.

Agreed. ebay is a much better place to buy RC cars, as local stores are soooo overpriced.

Get a 'Yokomo' kit, awesome rc cars, and the brand is dedicated to drift rc only.

My mate was selling these. I was gonna buy one off him, then after I spent an hour playing with his I realised they get boring quick and was glad I didn't hand over $650 for one!

Book a ticket to Hong Kong and pay a third of the price you pay here.

RC drift car + holiday = win win!

Cheers,
