Bear in mind that unless you are racing it to speed is not needed for drifting. You use torque.

I would say the tt-01d only bacuse its a higher (I think thats right) turn. The tt-01 is 23 and the tc4 is 19. Oh and bro don't be sorry for asking questions that's how we all learn.

You bought yours new aquito? My brother bought a tc4 and it came with 19t reedy. Well someone else could inform you a tad bit better on the tc4. But in general a higher number turn motor will be a better drifter. Example 23 or a 27. There are higher to I think yokomo make a 35 turn if I'm not mistaken.

TT-01

The TT-01 is all you need to get Sliding, the D version is nice but not essential..

All the TT-01 needs to become a Great Chassis is a Alloy Propshaft and a Metal Bearing kit.. thats and PVC/ABS Tyres is all you need.. Everything else is just a Want.. The TT-01 is a Shaft Driven All Wheel Drive Tub Chassis Ideally Suited to drift..

The TT-01 is also a Very Plain and Neat Chassis with no exposed Gears and a Simple Tub Chassis...
The TT-01 is the Standard Drift Chassis and will be the Standard for a While to come..

The question was any yoke or a tt01, that's easy, Yokomo MR-4TC BD Masami Special

...oh and the Associated TC4 will need basically no maintenance and is bombproof, race proven, and spares are cheap (which you most certainly can't say about tamiya) - and everything is already hopped up (TC4 team)

If I had that money burning a hole in my pocket I'd get what the grip racing dudes used last season because you can pick up a good buy 2nd hand from a careful racer who constantly upgrades to get that extra millisecond
