I run a sprint 2 and it is an AWSOME car, just as magnat stated. It was my first car and is still the car i drive. HPI makes alot of upgrades for it, in fact, im still upgrading mine. RTR comes with a good motor and esc, the motor is a 17x2 motor. So it has torque and speed; perfect for drifting. Go with the Sprint 2, pretty sure you'll love it!
