Newbie from Sharjah

Good evening peeps! I might say im quite new with this RC drifting hobby, i had seen most of the group's vids in youtube which encourage me to join the group. sad to say that i dont have a electric kit right now which i m planning to buy sometime. Hope that this forum will be able to guide me which one to start with. Hoping to see the group soon as soon as my fracture get healed.

are you boom from 2454? welcome sir boom, enjoy your stay,
no guns here though, hehehe, just remotes and kits. . .
hope to see you in our meets. . .

keep it sliding. . .

Positive! thanks for the warm welcome. probably i'll not be able to play with guns and bikes nowadays due to my recent fracture. Mostly i'll be sitting and watch those nasty RC slides in the tracks. need to sell off the guns and the bike to start-up with my new project, hehehehe.

i might know someone from here who might buy your guns from you. . . .

he's name is bong. . . .

Hi there Sir Boom, Kulotski from 2454 as well. Welcome to the new Hobby. no more running only RC will be running.

Thanks again for the warm welcome, i knew that i will see some of my comrades here who are also passionate with RC drifting, wish we could do it real cars that will give us blackpoints and worse part is accidents. to all those interested with the AEG, please send me PM so we can negotiate. @ Sir Chardiboi, thanks for your introduction to the group.

welcome to the forum guys.
hope you guys enjoy the sport of rc drifting

Thanks again, just got my starter kit today. hope to see everyone soon.

which kit did you get? i hope its not nitro

I just got a yokomo ep kit and just finished cutting and trimming the hachi-roku body, all i need right now are the black and red paints to finish it. i also forgot i need to have the batteries too for the kit.

you've got a nice kit there boom


post it to our Picture thread for us to see

It was a used kit and need to change the tires, the only new thing that came with it is the new shell. i am also thinking of buying a chinese made rc so that i can use some parts from it and install it to the kit that i got, do you know how much would it cost me in DM? i was checking on the net and it seems some parts are quite nice. Or it would be much better to buy the branded spare parts? i know this hobby would cost a lot, but im not in the position to spend right now.

hi boom ..... welcome to dubdrift ....

i suggest use your kit first as it is ....... branded parts usually (not always) are better than the generic ones but as you stated ...... since your new to the hobby ..... drive the kit and upgrade along the way as you get to understand what your driving style would ask for ......

for ordering on-line ..... JJ Drfitshop usually has batch orders from the net every month for members here in our community .....

enjoy your stay

@ strawb, thanks for the advice. i am hoping to buy from JJ Driftshop but i am not of capable right now. i just came from DM and seen some HSP, basic one cost 650 and with the brushless motor cost 1 grand. it would be much better to buy a used branded kit from the other members. i also finished my kit and got a set of BBS rims for it, problem right now is how to post pictures here.
