They take orders with no deposit. Takes about two weeks I believe. Actuon hobby shop has two in stock right now.

Man 2 weeks I couldn't wait that long that's why I just bought a truck. Add some drift tires to it! lol

[dj_rice]

I got the exact same 350z HPI Sprint 2 Drift but mine has the stock body with all the decals.

They're all HPI's. Subaru and 350 are sprints and the trueno is an E10.

How much did it cost ya? I want to look into gettin' one but I don't want to spend $300-500 like some hobbyists. Maybe ~$150? I've been in PM before but never seen any drift cars? Then again I never asked them lol. :(

[EG6boi]

That would be so sick... Meeting at Chinook's new parkade and drift R/C cars :thumbsup:

Maybe you can find a used one for that price but your looking at 220 for the cheapest drift rc. Worth the money though. And I believe there's a track you can play in on Wednesday and Friday nights. Never been but for sure gunna check it out

[dj_rice]

I bought my 350z Sprint 2 Drift from Hobby Alley for $249 on sale. I haven't actually really played it yet cuz my condo is so small. Can't wait to buy rims/new bodies for it

[civic_EK]

Just got my trueno body and wide body kit from pm. Will post pics ones I paint it :thumbsup: . Rims are pretty pricey considering they sell em in twos, but check out r2hobbies.com set of four for 5 bucks

[Azn_2nr]

you guys drift at chinook often?

[Heru-Farukon]

+1 for Action Hobby that's where I got my TT01
and PM hobby for my parts since they are close to my place

I like what you have done esp with the bike racks on the top.

when and where do you guys go since I try to go to chinook when i'm free or before I go to work.

Thanks! Yeah those roof rack were a fun addition. Paint on my subarus peeling off by being hit lol. Got wide body trueno in progress though. What body do you have? We go on Sundays cuz that's when the mall closes at 6. We usually go around 7-730ish when the lots empty. Drop by and drift sometime

[JZS_147]

I'll try to swing by on sunday, I've been itching to drift mine for a while. I've probably driven my Sprint 2 Flux a grand total of 30 minutes since I've bought it.
