RE: New to R/C Drifting
This is where opinions clash..
Recommending a chassis causes alot of conflict..
He does not need to be a Noob to enjoy a TT-01 and may not want to splash the cash on a Yokomo only to find out he doesnt like it..
The Reason why the TT-01 is recommended is not because its Noob safe, but is well supported and is cost effective.
My Honest opinion is to attend a RC drift meet in your area, see what other drifters have got and if possible have a go of one first.
I know of a person who was Told " Get a TC4" and so he splashed the Cash out on a TC4 only to discover he liked a HPI Sprint 2 better..
Whilst Drifting on your own is cool, its so much better when you can drift with a Club...
You say you have many Electric models??
What are some of them as you may have already have something you can use..
