Best drift Chassis (MST VS Tamiya VS Yokomo?)
Hello
I've been drifting with a Sprint 2 for a while and I'm looking to get the best drifter out there.
What would be the best drifter if money is not an issue?
MST? Tamiya? Yokomo?
I would like to have a sugestion for Belt as well as a suggest for Shaft please?
Thanks in advance!

For 50/50 drifting and cs drifting, Yok is arguably the best (though D-like, RC-ART, Overdose, Eagle racing, Street Jam, 3racing, and MST are really quite good as well.) for RWD, Overdose, Eagle racing, MST, Yok w/ Wrap-up NEXT rwd conversion kits are the leaders.
i suggest belt if you're indoors mostly, especially since they're quite quiet. shaft is still good too, with the added pebble resistance.
i personally own 1 belt car and 1 shaft car (and one that is just geartrains, no belt and no center shaft either) the gears are definitely loud vs the belts and the belts give a smoother throttle delivery. I drive my belt drive cars outside too, and haven't really had issues with it so the durability thing is somewhat null to me. if you want CS ratio heaven, get a belt drive with 3 belts (it makes changing CS ratios VERY easy vs 2-belt cars). RWD is awesome though, and i highly recommend it. (before you say gyros are cheating, it's agreed that it's cheating with 50/50 and CS. with RWD it's like how caster-induced countersteer works IRL. it doesn't catch the car or drive it for you. in fact, there's only 1 known video of someone being able to get around a long track without a gyro and he's probably been at it for years with the same exact chassis)
