yeah that one is actually #1 for newbies, but how old is your bro? cause if hes too young he might crash it fast and break it, i made a mistake letting a 7 year old use my nitro, a minute later bam it goes into a wall, but the tt-01 is user frendly so you shouldnt have any problems with it, and also if you want to drift it you'll have to get either drift tires or abs piping

Pick up some 2" abs pipe from home depot or any local hardware store.. some places don't carry it. Be sure to order an aluminum prop shaft and bearings if the car doesn't already have it and he's set!
U gonna be drifting the nitro??

You may want to pick up tamiyas type D drift tires.....or yokomos zero one R tires Heres your Links: YOKOMO's Zero one r http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXLTV0&P=ML.......... Tamiyas D type http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXLVZ0&P=ML
And for your motor I would recommend http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFBH5&P=7
and also buy these LEDS for motor http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXTJ21&P=V
ESC's is really up to the driver anything from novak to intellispeeds to even LRP's

lrp r good, i use them.. if he is new to drifting the stock tin can will be o.k.. i would suggest blue tac in the diffs but if you get good enough tyers he should be o.k... i woulg get the yoko tyers, i have ordered them, i just think the jap's realy no how to make drift cars so they should..( technicly).. be able to produce good tyers, we sell them in our shop and no complaints yet!!
as for the tto1.. good choice for a 10year old, he will love it!!
and as poweredbynitro say.... get the alum prop shaft!!..
have fun dude!!
