Newly announced and ready for pre-order from Drift Stage D-Like comes the RE-R 2 Hybrid RC Drift chassis. This revised layout of the popular D-Like RE-R chassis includes a new rear shaft, battery layout options, front knuckles, and upper arms. As mentioned above pre-orders are being taken now for a late August 2014 release. It has a MSRP of around $730 USD.
DRIFT Stage D-Like has always been on the edge of scale drifting. They strive to make everything reflect real 1:1 drifting. The RE-R has always been called the Weight-Shift-Meister. This is because of its high rigidity chassis that allows for better weight shifting of the car to provide you with a sense of realism and control. D-Like also participates in 1:1 D1 drifting events, so they are experienced in what they do. Their emphasis has always been on making the 1:10 scale car look, sound and feel as real as possible.

I just got this chassis off ebay. The build is a little challenging at times. The driving is even more!! I thought that it just didn’t handle as well as my EA TT02FRD in RWD but then realized its a change of style. I like to think the weight shift style is a little more Japanese where you have to go in fast and carry momentum. Then my TT02 is more “American” where its a lot more easy to position and then power out to build speed.
