RE: how is the hpi sprint for drifting
It's a pretty common car, but nowhere near the TT-01. I know a couple people that drift it and are happy with it. Since it's an HPI car, hopups are abundant. The only thing I would change are the tierods. Chage them out for turnbuckles so you have suspension adjustibilty.

TT-01's are getting a bit on in Age so you can pick them up pretty Cheap..
Most of the HPI Sprints are belt drive so they are not exactly Ideal for Drifting so the Tamiya TT-01 and TB-02 even TL-01 will be good for Drifting

RE: how is the hpi sprint for drifting
There isn't anything wrong with belt drives. In fact, my Yokomo BD is tons better than my Drift Package. It doesn't exhibit the torque steer of a shaft drive, and I love the fact how I can set front and rear belt tensions individually.
