Well, while there are definitly much better drift cars out there, the Tamiya TT-01 lineup is probably the best place to get started. I got the TT-01R because I didn't really like any of the shells that came with the D-Spec so I got the TT-01R and my own body, but the Drift-spec kit has just about everything you need to get going. Only thing is you may want to either make your own or ebay some ABS drift tires cause I've heard the Tamiya drift tires are far from spectacular. But if your just getting into the hobby and want a cheap way in and still have hours of fun at a time, go for the TT-01 Drift Spec. kit for sure !!
