Too much money. I'm running $700 in my TT-01 which is still a lot for drifting.

Seriously, you can get a decent 240sx, and start drifting with a real car. Other than that I have no idea what you should spend it all on.

Holy crap, that's super overkill!!

Just get something basic like a TT-01, radio, batteries, charger, ABS pipe, paint, tools. This way you can experience the concept and decide if you wanna stay with it or not. You won't be wasting money if you find that it's not as interesting as you thought later on. You'll spend around $300-350 for brand new parts if you go with what i mentioned.

Good luck!

Well good for him I didn't mod my car too much with all those fancy brushless stuff.. I bought replacement chassis parts, replacement electronics.. the whole deal (esc, motor, a couple battery packs), Many different rims, HPI drift radials, and tons of ABS, a couple bodies, Many hop-ups (GPM aluminums and Tamiya hop-ups), paint/misc. track equipment, peak charger.. I'm know there's more but I can't keep track of everything I bought I like to keep my car in perfect condition.. If something isn't right i'm already ordering new parts! I'm not your everyday hobby drifter. I make it my 2nd job..

If I had that kind of money and nothing else to spend it on, why not. but I'm not bill gates. he just said he wanted to spend 2100 on rc. I showed him how. And offered a place for him to keep it. I wish I had a couple of lipos though.
