Status: offline 		The TT-01D is a great Starter car... It will give you the Feel for sliding without the need for worrying about Pebbles and small rocks..

It is true, the Sprint 2 does handle better but being a belt drive there tends to be a little more matenience...

Weigh up where you can drift...
TT-01D Best for Street and Car parks
Sprint 2 Better for Netball courts and Track...

Status: offline 		I think im guna go with the tt-o1d because the price is more in my range and i like shaft driven. its less to mess with.

Status: offline 		Once you have changed ya first belt... it just becomes a natural part of the after run procedures.
You still need to do an after run check with a TT-01, you just don't have to check the Belts lol...
