lol i was just driving like shit trying to drift it but that thing has too much power to drift lol...and the tires are super super slick lol

for cost wise:

HPI SUper Nitro RS4 RTR (ready to run) w/ 350z body- $500 when i bought it
performance side exit exhaust w/ header- $89
upgraded car transfromer for better signal strength and less glitches- $30
better glow plug- $9
glow plug starter- $24
gas r/c starter kit- $50
HPI r/c fuel- $10-$20
HPI 300mm Nissan Skyline body unpainted/not cut out- $35
spray paint for the bodies- cant remember but i just got normal spray paint

thats about everything needed to run and with a little more performance and better parts
my kit is probally about 350-400 now because i believe they stopped making them, and more ppl want the smaller version of it b/c they have tons more parts and drift kits etc. and are about 250-350 for a RTR kit and are either just as fast or faster

if you plan on getting into the sport or hobby, expect to spent around 600 for a desent gas one or around 400 for a far desent one...or a good electric one would be like 200 or less

all together ive spent about 750-800 for mine total, thats including all the gas and everything
