He has all the drift knowledge and results from the PROFESSIONAL circuits..
Ignore what I say... I am a drift noob....
I know nothing...
See this is exactly what I didn't want to happen. I, in no way, have ever stated that I am an expert of any sorts. It was just me finally getting some stuff off my chest, as I personally find some claims far-fetched. What I really wanted was for us to share our sources of information, and I gave my evidence first.
I do understand that the TT-01 is an extremely popular chassis due to its durability and cost, but I still don't believe that it's the international standard. The first RC drift cars, to my knowledge, were the Yokomo SSG, HPI Sprint/Sport2, and Tamiya TA-03F. Yokomo then took notice to the use of their chassis for drifting and soon started experimenting with their cars. With what they've gathered through R&D, they made the Drift Package.
I honestly believe that the Yokomo DP is the real international standard. Tamiya and HPI only recently followed suit with their drift-specific TT-01D, TA-03F Pro Drift Spec, HPI Nitro RS4 Stage-D conversion, and Sprint 2 Stage-D.
That's enough ranting from me. Mr. Magnat, you sir, are valued here far more than I am, so I will be the one to step down and leave RCU. You're the one regarded as the expert, and I'm just some random member. So, that being said, take your throne back, oh King of the Drifting Section of RCU.
