I'm pretty noob when it comes to rc drifting (previous experience was a micro rs4) but I gotta say I like my e10. It isnt as fancy as alot of other kits, and doesnt have near the bling availability of the tamiya's but it works and works well. Being able to switch the motor to the front and back is pretty cool too. The best part about drifting is that you dont "need" some uber expensive car. Sure some kits are better than others but drift tires on any TC will make it get sideways.

I bought a used E10 with no electronics cheap. Dropped in some old electronics laying around and hit the pavement. It gets sideways out in the street in front of my house and makes people walking by stop and turn their heads. Mission accomplished.

That being said I would love to own a Tamiya kit. I just enjoy building the Tamiya's (Blackfoot, Clodbuster etc etc) and think they are excellent quality kits.
