aight bro, first off for drifting electric is hella better than gas or nitro. Cars you should look at are the tamiya tt0($79-135), TC4 (about 200), Cyclone S (140 -170). See what your local hobby shops carry as far as parts and what not and should influence your decision some although you can always get stuff off the internet. So check those out, the tt01 is an entry level car that can be tuned to drift nicely, the cyclone s is an awesome car that drifts well out of the box and the tc4 is a good all around car so if u decide you dont want to drift you still have a very solid car to race with.
