Default Takara Tomy Drift Package Light (56k ixnay)

Well, while in Taiwan, I picked one of these up for myself.

It was around 1700 NT, or about $57 dollars.

The box. It's a little beat up and dirty after hours of carrying it in my hands and got a little tea on it XD

(Proof it's mine)







Box contents:




Body straight out of the box. There are some stickers you have to put on yourself. The only problem is that the stickers aren't exactly all that adhesive.






Chassis unassembled. Also enough mirrors to make anyone jizz in their pants.




Just assemebed chassis. Nicely blanced. Requires three AAA's so they can all balance out.




Car and controller:




Overall, I like it. It drifts very nicely While the controller is pretty much one set speed for acceleration and turning, its just fine. The drivetrain is nice and smooth and rolls quite nicely. The rear wheels are powered by a solid axle (just one solid metal pole) and the front is powered by a diff that only works while going forward.


Well, should you buy it?

No. Unless if you're willing to spend the money. If you're don't mind paying over $50 for a well built drifter, then yes, this is the car for you.B ut for the cheap people looking for bang for the buck, its not the best thing you can buy for $50.
