There's really no such thing as a "starter" kit. My first drift car was my Yokomo. It's still my favorite and most used. I have friends that started with TT01's. Your "starter" car depends on budget and your part preference. I didn't mind getting all my parts shipped cuz I was overseas when I bought the car, so I had to do that ANYWAY. And when I came back, it really didn't bother me. Rarely do I need to buy parts for my Yok. I upgraded it because I wanted to. Not because I needed to. So, ordering parts online doesn't bother me. The other sites that I'm on gimme plenty of support (as well as support other chassis).

So, it's really a matter of what do you want to spend and what do you want to do. I personally didn't feel like doing a arse-load of hop-ups, and my car doesn't need them. So, it worked for me. You may like that or not.

Gather your budget. Then decide if you need local support for your car or not. After that, decide your chassis. There's no 1 car that's a GOOD starter or bad one. Just depends on what you want to do and what you want to spend.
