Please suggest some  :Rs:  :help: LOWEST budget  :help: car for beginning.
If possible please point out the stores in Delhi where i can buy them.
I'm also open to self-made  :bow: or second hand cars.

Welcome RC India :)

You need to make up your mind... "bashing" and "drifting" are conflicting requirements.  I am not a big car person... what I have seen is that pure drifting models are a whole lot different from bashers.

when going for low budget, u will have two basic choices , 1) is to go for a proper brand that is hobby grade(there are lots of companies making budget cars these days)  or 2) to get chinese or something like hsp/hk rc which is almost a toy(though some call it a hobby grade item)
Around Delhi . there is tamiya india showroom in gurgaon near corporate sewa park where u can get a lot of rc car and models . drifting vehicles are available there and offroad bashers too .

+1 to what admin said . make up your mind first on what type of car you want. :)

its ok if it is brushed . brushless doesnt always mean better. brushed systems are simpler and suitable for beginners and preferred for drifting and mainly in rock crawling where brushless dont work good.

Thanks everyone for replies. I dont care if it is a brushed or brushless. I just want to get used to rc cars. And about bash or drift i will buy one which will cost lowest.
Also it should be on road .
Does GOOD LOOKING cars will cost me higher than buggys ?
