The Review:

First off I want to say that this is the first real drift chassis I have ever put together. I think this chassis has a great future, despite being all plastic. Its not a counter steer chassis but in the manual they already have the CS pulley as an option part, so I’m just waiting for them to become available.

I followed the manual as best as I could and out of the box. This chassis has an aggressive camber setting but thanks to some forums friends, I did get it to a setting that I wanted it to be. I really like the counter-sink chassis, front mount motor for better weight distribution and the 2 rubber O-ring that holds the battery down. As you all know by now kit comes with Gram Lights wheels and drift tires.

Overall I think Spice did a great job on this chassis and I’m glad I got it. I’m just waiting for hop-up parts to come out and maybe do a countersteer setup. Well that’s all folks hope you guys liked it and if you guys have any questions, I’ll try hard to find an answers.
