Anything cheeper then the Tamiya TT-01 isnt work buying. The tt-01 is a awesome drifter, and is a great deal. Anything cheeper is a POS.

If it came down to the nascada or the TT-01, get the TT-01 simply for the availability of spare/upgrade parts.

The thing with the nascada is that it comes with a whack looking body, wheels and tires.
If drifting is about style, you have to change them.
Let's say you buy a new body, wheels and rims, add a few dollars more for paint, you end up spending close to the amount of the TT-01

tt01 IS cheapest for drifting. check ebay. any 4WD touring car will drift. But, as I'm sure you know from dirt, it isn't cheap. It's not as expensive as racing, but it ain't cheap. good luck with all that.
