so im thinking about buying a TT01 chassis with 2 bodies, reciever, super rooster esc, rear locked diff, front 1 way diff, and stock body. all for $150. ive been reading online and i know practically every time the TT01 is brought up its asking for a review, but thats not what im asking after a few years of going to drift meets, ive decided to take the plunge. well i found that TT01 annd was wondering if its worth it? its only going to drift. i plan on getting aluminum parts piece by piece, hoping it comes out cheaper than a kit. but at the same time i had my heart set on the hpi sprint 2 drift rtr 350z. and im at an ultimatum. which would be the best for a beginning drift rc? ive heard the TT01 is alright, but it requires tons of money to make it decent. as for the hpi, i have heard its takes care of a lot but parts are not universal and its near crap. so being totally new to actually doing this, which would you guys say is good for a beginner? i dont have a very big budget, and the closest rc place is about an hour drive.

any advice would be appreciated!
