Default New Drift chassis coming......

I have this winging it's way here:





Front mounted motor belt drive chassis ftw! (130% cs gearing & front one-way diff out of the box too)



Spool rear (locked diff)





yes.......it's a Tamiya TRF417x clone - supplied with as a c/s geared front motor mount chassis.

I'm also expecting this TRF416 clone to be here this week:







I have a C/S front motor mount kit here for that too:



I found this shell on ABC Hobbies site......

RX-3 Coupe.....Must....Resist....agh!...I'm weak......







Another drift meet in a few weeks is definitely on the cards!

What's the chassis worth? That looks mint!!

More importantly - a total setup similar? Keen to get into it - Obviously the TT01 is the preferred starter kit.. but always tempted!

The latest sedan shell I've seen is MY07, you might have to wait a while for a Betty sedan shell to show up.

Yeah for sure....Shells are cheap (ebay spec prepainted are a bargain!).

You'll probably destroy your first shell anyway.
