The Tamiya TT-01 is the International Standard Drift Chassis
This comment is a little far fetched. It is well known that Yokomo was the first to cater to the RC drift genre with an application-specific chassis.
While everyone may have their own beliefs as to why the TT-01 is so popular, the underlying factor is the affordability of it. Come on, an RTR can be had for $150 or less.
I, personally, have not drifted a TT-01, but I have drifted the following cars...
-Yokomo Drift Package
-Tamiya TL-01
-Schumacher Mission
-Yokomo MR-4TC BD
-Rayspeed Ultimate SD
