Serious drifter, ahha thats funny, all you need is a 4wd onroad car, and somehow lock the rear differential, Just because yokomo puts "drift package" on its products don't make it a "serious" drift car. Id take a team or factory team TC4 any day over a yokohomo car, you don't need a "drift" car to get sideways.

Status: offline 		The TT-01 is like a volkswagen, you can beat it all you want and it will keep on drivin. Yokomo drift cars are like Hondas, upgrade it all you want but its still gonna be junk! And always remember... "Your worst day in a Volkswagen is still better than any day in a Honda!"

Status: offline 		yes, "Serious drifter" the kind of driver that thinks rc drifting is more than just a locked diff and ABS!
and you (SeanZ0R) can't really be serious if you think that Yokomo's drift package is all they have to offer a "serious" drifter, just look at the LCG or Rayspeed...common sense would lead me to believe that it's Not the weekend drifter buying these high end packages... Plus just look around at ANY of the rc drift specific forums, Every serious team, has their fair share of Yokomo drivers and that is for a reason! Yokomo is quality, and with anything of quality you pay for that BRAND name too.

and for any genius that wants a tt01 over ANY yokomo... Hey, I've got some moon rocks I'd like to give ya a really good deal on!

Status: offline 		Hey if you like your Yokomo drift car, Great! More power to you!! But I'm content with my Team Associated FT Tc4, it seems to get the job done... O ya, and my locked Diff and Abs seems to be working out for me also. In my opinion, the Yokomo drift packages are for those that DON'T know how to drift or set up a drift car on their own. But that's just my opinion.
And I'm going to have to agree with Seanzor, they only put "drift package" on their box to make money, just because it comes with a badass drfit body and drift wheels and tires doesn't make it better than any other 4wd onroad car platform...
I've seen a guy drift circles around a fully modded yokomo drift chassis with a team associated Tc3!
