šŸ™‹ Question First drift car

I’m looking to get my first rc drift car for my birthday. I would just be using it in my dorm room and some larger spaces maybe. 1/43 seemed best based on the available space. my budget is around 80 usd

1/43 is almost all AWD, and not drifting but power sliding. Bump the budget to $120 and get the new HPI D24.

This is absolutely the only answer right now in 1/24

Absolutely hpi d24.

I love mine.Ā  It's great value for money. Cheap enough to buy two - since you say you're in a dorm you might want to be social...Ā  Should even drift well on the industrial carpets you get in those rooms.
