Are the Yokomo Drift Kits good? I'm thinking about getting into drifting and need some help on a drifting kit.

to me, their a waste. stick with a tamiya.

all awd r/c cars will drift with abs/pvc tires...but the handling in a drift does vary with different cars...I have a TT01 and the Yokomo drift car...both are fairly powerful/fast cars and both run abs tires...gut I'd choose to drift the yokomo over the tamiya any day just because it controls so much better in a drift...now on the same note compairing the tokomo chassis and the tamiya chassis is like night and day (also indicated by price). I would say with all my experience in r/c that any medium level r/c car will be a better investment than a low level (tto1 for example) car. that means try to get a car that COMES WITH AT THE MINIMUM, ball bearings, oil shocks, adjustable turnbuckles/tierods and ball differentials. these things ALL go a long way toward helping you get your car drifting easier, smoother and more consistently. and they will also add up in cost quite quickly if purchased separately from the kit afterwards. happy drifting...

Thanks a lot guys! I'll probably get the Yokomo kit soon.
