Didn't get into cars much, but flew planes for a few years. This was my latest plane. Sold it last year when I started to get out of the hobby.

You got the stage-d kit on your HPI. You have any overheating issues? Or any at all trying to drift a Nitro car?

I got a TT-01 too. Was debating about turning it into a drift car. But the brushless motor and esc is $$$. Be careful cause you can burn through ESC easily.
