Wow. Totally redirected. So, between the Yokomo and TC4, if you're ordering online in the first place, get the Yokomo. It's a better car. I have a TC4 and it's true, you will have LHS support when it breaks...cuz it's gonna break. I also have a Yokomo...which hasn't broken YET!! And I've had it longer. BOTH do circuit racing and BOTH drift. The only diff is the TC4 breaks and the Yok doesn't.
And what's with all this Yoko-hatin. Out of the box, the MR4TC is THE EASIEST chassis to drift with HANDS DOWN. All you need is you. No hop-ups. No spare parts. No other goobley-gop. No stiffening nothing. Hook it up, turn it on, and start drifting. That's it. And, it's the ONLY chassis I know of that comes as a kit that doesn't require you to hop it up or lock something as soon as you get. If you can't handle a Yokomo, you probably shouldn't be on the track. However, it IS expensive, I'll give it that. But, it's also the most popular chassis in the land where all this started and one of the most popular chassis for those that actually do this in competition. That's not to say you can't win with anything else, cuz you can. The MOST important thing is practice practice practice. But all this Yok is crap CRAP is just...well...CRAP. The RTD Kit is good out the box with NO-HOP-UPS and in Japan RC Drift events and major drift events state side, it's the top dog. So I'm not sure which hole you guys are pulling your info out of, but put it back in said hole. Of course, that could just be your personal opinion of the car (for some unknown reason), in which case, you're entitled to that.
Now, being that you're considering the darkside of drift, mouser, if you get a Nitro, one, you won't be able to get into any comps..that may not matter to you. I have yet to meet a nitro drifter that can drift tight and cocisely. Long sweeps get boring after a while (to me). Hmm..I think that's all I have to say. OH, and I hope you're not getting a nitro for speed, cuz, a) you don't need a bunch of speed in drifting and b) a elec can be just as fast (if not faster) with proper motors.
Other than that, have fun with whatever you buy.
