Default RE: HPI Micro Drifter?

Wasnt trying to bash, however he's giving out info that's 100% not correct.
The guy came asking how to convert his micro to a drifter, And as usual, got jumped on by a ton of ppl babbling up the tt01, which from my point of view, isnt really a decent choice for a drift car, even IF it was a TT01D.

Can you adjust Camber, Toe in, Toe out, ride height, wheel base, shock angle's, basically every square inch of suspension geometry on the TT01? Not from what i hear. And suspension set-up is 95% of the game.. Installing ABS wheel's is the other 5%. Sure, it'll still "Drift", But how well does it hold a drift? Do you see all the 1:1 scale drifter's running 18" ABS? Exactly.. just cause it's do-able, dont mean it's right. The TT01D is just a marketing ploy for tamiya to make more money. and i truley believe that the AE TC line is far more "Drift" worthy out of the box with rubber tires, then the plastic wheeled TT01 "Drift" car would ever be. Due to the suspension alone.
