it depends on how much u got though... Myself i dun like the tt01 but since u got a tight budget so let's go with tt-01 with some hop ups.

peetiewonder

the tt01 is a good starter car, or you can find a higher level car for cheap online usually used

CrocEnd

Well money or not ask the Q's on this forum or not but there is plenty of reading here
plenty of dreaming and go getters here.
The double T-01 is a good starter + rcuniverse is a great forum.
Cheer's CrocEnd.
PS... I just started drift as well Learnt from here......

I would have to Recommend a HPI Sprint 2 Stage D..

Its more Adjustable then a TT-01 and being a Belt Drive is alot smoother to drift with..

The stage D is a Good Drifter Package and doesnt need any Hop ups to get sliding...

As long as you have a relatively debris free area to drift on, you cant do wrong

oh, in the 2-400 dolla range u could get a very nice setup. I would reccomend a cyclone s or a tc4

a tt-01? i looked at them and idk what to look for. i want one with lots and lots of torque and i like rx-7s and 350zs.. can i find a shell body thing that looks like one?

With your budget, I wouldn't go with the tt01. Nothing wrong with it, but it's recommended so much cuz it's one of the cheapest cars to drift with. Like others said, there are better out there for your budget.

Don't get caught up in the shaft vs belt driven debate. You won't notice the difference right now anyway (I've been doing for a couple of years and see little difference).

The only thing you're going to need is a 4wd elect car and some ABS or "drift tires". If you search this forum, there's plenty of other posts about it as it's too much info for me to retype.

benisjamin

your budget a cyclone s with new tires and ur good then after driving it u can see what else u need

like a new moter or gearing etc

i would go with the tt-01 for a starter car,built to last,plenty of hopups and if you dont enjoy drifting just use it for carpark bashing.
if you can afford to get the tt-01d get that save money on upgrades in the long run[sm=thumbup.gif]

DJ01

what kind can you get for a budget under 40 dollars

redeyes

go to the different rc drfit forums and get a used chassis for cheap...
