    1. tbh, if youve had a chance to try it out rc drifting, and like it, then maybe just get a TBO3 or TA05. these cars need zero hop ups. they come with all metal drive train, full bearings, etc. if you can pick on with a body you like, then that makes things alot easier.

    all shells are compatible with other chassis. all the car used for drifting are the the style 1/10th EP (electric powered) touring cars (4wd). you will just have to estimate/work out where to put the holes for the body posts if you mix manufacturers.

    my car is a HPI shell on a tamiya chassis.

    all touring cars just about, use the same wheel hex's are are therefore compatible. again, im using HPI wheels on my tamiya.

    normally, wheels are a 0 offset, some tamiya stock wheels are -3. offset is the same as cars, but opposite. -3 is 3mm further in, +6, 6mm further out.

    radio gear, just get what youre willing to spend. i had futaba JR which ozrc has for like $40 for a full set. recently upgraded to 2PL 2.4ghz so i dont have to worry about frequencies when i got to tuesday/thursday meetings, but it was $200 without for just a transmitter and receiver, no servo.

    batteries depends on what motor you run a bit. i found my TT with a 19t ran for ages on a 3300mah NIMH battery.

    when i changed to brushless, i was getting pretty shit run times, so upgraded to lipo, but you do need a fair bit more exxy charger. batteries are .2v more powerfull, run harder right up untill theyre "flat" and you get way more cycles out of them before they start to die (performance drops away).

    With Li-Po battery packs, you can (recommended) get Li-Po 'cut-offs' so once the battery pack gets to a certain limit, it cuts out alot of the power to let you know that it now requires charging.

    As for fitting bodies of different makes to different chassis, here's a tip. Before painting the body, place it over your chassis body mounts and with a permanent marker, mark out the dots for the body posts. This is once you have aligned/offset the wheels correctly. In some instances you may have to cut out the body.
