Ramy,
I'm very sorry for posting that link. I just know how busy you get and when I saw the cars on a web site I posted the link to help these guys out. I didn't mean to take any business away from you and I meant no disrespect. Please accept my official apology,
- Neil

wants some ube
Just so you guys know, buying this package can (and will) become very pricey. As stated previously, Yokomo offers just the bare minimum, rolling chassis for its DP kit. Its actually been around for a few years now, sporting numerous drifting iconic bodies (multiple Rx7's, too).
Like the real thing (drifting, that is), this hobby can become very expensive. Radio, motor, speed controller, batteries and charger can easily run upwards of $500. Now a days, there are a lot of drift tires on the market for r/c cars (Yokomo, HPI...) and believe it or not, the price of these can easily add up.
That being said, I love my DP (I've had it for 3 years, now), but the base kit needs a lot of upgrades to keep it enjoyable, primarily the suspension. With the right combination of tires and a high-speed steering servo, you'll have a blast achieving insane-angled, high speed drifts.
That this kit stood out to you all, I think its safe to say you're FD owners. That is the reason of this post, because we're always complaining of the lack of funds, yet we continually get financially sidetracked for various reasons.
All said and done, I have no doubt that Ramy could get a very decent price on the kit (and probably all of the various parts that you'll all want to get, once you get going with the hobby), but ye have been warned.
(Ramy, I have no intention of stepping on your toes, I'm actually one of your customers -- but who isn't here? I'd just like to give my fellow rotards a little insight.)

IamRobbyah, I appreciate your comments, and I"m sure the others on the thread do as well. My only comment on your comment is, I don't think most of the ppl who are interested in the RC car will actually be using it much - and if so, def. not for serious drifting. Some of us are FD Junkies; we want anything and everything that has to do w/ FDs. If there's a poster, we gotta have it. If there's a model car, we gotta have it. Etc. Or at least that's how I am 
All my ish just sits in my room (and eventually my office when I get one haha) simply b/c I love to appreciate the FD's beauty...

^^ +1!!
<-------- FD Junkie w/ a large collection of FD toys
there's no way i'm gonna drive this RC car with the RE body. especially its shipped from japan, i rather tear up another FD body that i can get here in the U.S.
that being said, i actually found local japanese owned hobby store that sells it. but if ramy still wants to do GB on this, i rather support a FD enthusiast.

hey Ramy would you be able to get the ready to run kit for the guys who would want to drive this rc car and dont have the patience to build it up like me...then sell the rx7 bodies seperatly because i dont think the ready to run kit comes with the fd body...also i know these cars have accesories like different rims and headlight kits and lots of stuff would you be able to get those also...
