Default Nasher & Carpet's Drifters

Wednesday is my birthday so i decided to get a better drift car(currently use a tamiya M03, car doesn't have much support so I'm very careful). The M03 is beat up pretty well so i decided to replace it w/ another tamiya(parents drove tamiya in 90's and now, got me loving tamiya) I bought a TT01D spec Supra, alloy prop shaft, foam wheels and tires(for inside drift action), a body reamer, circle cutter. Next will be adjustable upper arms and better electronics, possibly yok drift rings, and then lights to work on the appearance of the car. I was originally going to get a belt drive but I'm on the coast were belt cars get killed(hot and cold, lots of junk gets in and decimates the belts) the tt01 seemed like a good begginers drift car that would have some decent potential. It should come Wednesday the 30th(which is my real birthday) I will get pics up if I can get enough time I will take a picture for everypage to keep you guys updated.

EDIT: Should I lock F/R gear diff or leave open or one or try and get a front one-way or....
