I Am Building A New R34 Fronted Stagea Drift Car

[darrinspencer]

I have decided to build a new R34 fronted Stagea, but for drift this time

Have purchased the body already built, just needs paint and a new chasiss.

Hopefully have it in the next week

I might try to make a replica off my street car

My son has spare chasiss already, but lucky enough for me my parents use to own a hobby shop for last 13 years, now my ex brother in law owns it.

Cheap parts

hehe i had an r35 gtr drift car .. it lasted all of about 2 sets of batteries worth before the steering went to puss and refused to turn and drive forward after a while - plastic crap

drifting through chairlegs , around tables and driving the dogs nanna's, was fun while it lasted ;D

refused to turn and drive forward

Sounds exactly like a drift car to me

not with a 2 channel remote.. it was either do doughies or a figure 8 or drive straight.. when previously it was clean drifting around the kitchen!

Sounds like a $40 kids toy...

I've got a HPI Pro-D chassis with a Mamba 5700kV brushless, no lipo batteries though only nimh Got a 34GTR Z-tune shell with an ally wing, fake cooler and hotdog

wow this thread was misleading.....should be 'i am building a toy r34 fronted stagea.....'

got me all hot and bothered for nothin!

admittedly the toy does look good, but the real thing would have been insane.

good luck with it!

If I had another $50K to spend on a Stagea I probably would

it was a $25 kids toy, i guess your mamba is good for road reg ?

My setup cost a lot more than $25!
