Hpi Pro-D spec R vs Tamiya TA05 drift conversion kit

Which is a better chassis the Hpi Pro-D spec-R or Tamiya TA05 with drift conversion kit by Square?

here is the pics:-

this is the Hpi Pro D spec R...as you can see it's a shaft driven chassis with an engine mounted on the right front corner and the battery is placed across the chassis. we would say that the weight is pretty much balanced.


Tamiya TA05 with SQUARE drift conversion kit...
-to tell the truth i don't even know if this chassis already for sale...well ofcourse the Tamiya TA05 is already on sale but the drift conversion kit from square...is it already on the market out there?? some people say it is a work in progress but some say it is already out in the market. so talking about the chassis roughly...the engine is located in the middle front of the chassis, the battery is places across the chassis to make the weight more stable. Oh ya i almost forgot to mentioned that it is a belt driven chassis.


I never tested any of the two chassis...but from what i see from both of the picture, i would say that the Tamiya TA05 with the drift conversion kit has more balance weight distribution than the Hpi Pro-D spec R. Thats all i could conclude. i don't know hows the handling of either both chassis but i think they would have superb handling due to the balance weight distribution.

Amazing rc V12 engine

see this video about a massive v12 rc engine...image the power of that thing.
