Look for a TT-01 XB Pro

They are the RTR Versions which means all you have to do is by the Batteries and Charger.

PVC/ ABS Rims is All you need to get started..
With time you can Hop it up witha Ball Bearing kit and alloyt Propshaft and thats all you will ever need

Out of the Box they are a Hoot to drive

It is How I started to drift and now I have another one I have built for race..
