Wow, and I thought I did some research! Damn I have a lot to learn. Thanks so much for all your help R32 with all these newb questions! I should just give you my credit card and let you buy everything! LOL!...... So, again I will take your advice and go with the CS setup, is there anything else I need to do other than the diff's??

actually just found an awesome thread in here explaining it all. think I'm good now! hopefully

So, call me crazy, but I'm considering going a different route..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/MST-MS-01D-R...item20de171cf7.
Seems better than other RTR cars, comes with cs pulleys, front one-way.... the motor kinda scares me, being brushed and a 22t, but i guess I could always upgrade that in the future, what are your thoughts on it ??

Ready to run kits won't have great quality parts in them and if the kit itself is away from a well known established brand name you need to ensure that parts are readily available, also be prepared to spend a lot of money upgrading the kit/ chassis to make the car worth having. Brushed motors aren't considered to be the best for drifting, you need the smoothness of a brushless motor system for drifting to work better. I think you'd be daft to not go down the ta05 ta06 route.. They are very worth where money and are of much better quality directly out of the box
