WORK EMOTION XC8 RIMS
The BMW E30 M3 is fitted with Work Emotion XC8 rims that give a super cool "retro-mod" look. The rims combine a classic multi-spoke design with a streamlined style that looks both bold and minimalist at the same time. The aggressive and functional rims fit perfectly with an updated 90s car style. Work rims are widely used by various motorsport teams in GT300, GT500, Formula 3 and N1 endurance racing. On the street, they are used on everything from million-dollar McLaren F1 race cars to Spoon Sports Honda Civics.
TOYO PROXXES R1R T-DRIVE TIRE
As part of the drift package, you get official replicas of Toyo Proxxes R1R high-performance full-size tires molded in a super stiff, hard plastic that is perfect for drifting and looks truly authentic! These low profile drift tires are designed for high performance and realistic RC drift. HPI drift tires are the ideal way to get started with drifting quickly and easily. The replicated pattern looks great and only gets better with time as the tires wear down, just like real tires!
BMW E30 M3: THE ULTIMATE RETRO SPORTS CAR!
The original M3 is one of the most famous "homologation specials" ever produced and was created to meet the requirements of DTM and Group A touring car racing: 5000 examples had to be sold within 12 months to allow the racing version to compete.
Debuting in 1985 at the famous Frankfurt Motor Show, the "M" version of the E30 was produced primarily as a coupe (2-door), with only a very limited number of cabriolet versions available. The body was extensively rebuilt for the M3 version, most famously the extra wide and angular wheel arches front and rear, but also lightened and raised body parts, improved windscreen and other improvements - only a few parts of the original body - doors, bonnet and roof - remained unchanged from the original production car. With "only" 200 horsepower from the modified inline-4 engine and upgraded brakes, the 2-door coupe originally intended for experts was transformed into a circuit-smashing monster.
Today, the BMW M3 is still considered the most successful Group A and German Touring Car Championship (DTM) ever. In 1987 Italian Roberto Ravaglia, driving for Schnitzer Racing, won the BMW M3 World Championship in only the car's second year in competition. There were also countless victories at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, the 24-hour race at Spa in Belgium, the DTM and even as a rally car.
Already in the early 2000s, several sports car publications had named the E30 M3 as one of the best sports cars of all time. Today, the price of an original M3 car can reach over $100,000, but now it's available as a stunning Japanese-inspired drift machine ready to be driven by you!
FINALLY SHAPED CHASSIS
The primary chassis is formed from a single piece of reinforced plastic and has the powertrain tunnel molded right down the middle, just like a real car. It's a step beyond any plastic tube body car available today.
LOW PROFILE LAYOUT DESIGN
One of the ways we've ensured the Sport 3 Drift has the best possible handling was to make sure all the components fit as low as possible in the chassis. This gives the car an incredibly low center of gravity for optimal driving characteristics in corners.
COMPATIBLE WITH 2S LIPO BATTERIES
The Sport 3 Drift is equipped with a versatile electronic speed controller that can be used with modern lithium-polymer (LiPo) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Note that a LiPo adapter plug is not included, you can purchase that.
SUITABLE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF BATTERIES
The Sport 3 Drift chassis can accommodate lithium-polymer (LiPo) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery packs in various sizes, including the extra-long 7-cell NiMH packs. Whatever your power requirements, it can handle it all! A thick velcro strap holds the battery securely in place, and a simple battery block screws on to allow weight distribution to be adjusted fore or aft for extra steering or acceleration.
READY TO DRIVE OPERATING MACHINE
This utility vehicle is not only pleasing to the eye, but also completely roadworthy. With remote control, battery, USB charger and AA batteries for the remote control, everything you need is included to get started right away. From the moment you open the box, you are ready to take control and experience the thrill of RC drifting.
Included:
- 4 AA batteries
- 7.2V 2000mAh NiMH battery with standard connector
