Default car help and a drifting question

first off i need to know what kind of car this is. i know its an hpi rs4 but i dont know if its a sport 1 or 2 or pro. im just not sure. i baught it for 30 and since then i have baught some other parts for it such as a new servo, radio, receiver and a few more things. it is a 2 speed 4 wheel drive as you see and i want it to be a drift car.

I know that the pictures suck but thats all i can do. the camera is very poor.any info will help. i want to order parts for this car but i dont even know what motor is in it. all i know is that the motor is purple and is either a 10 or 12 turn.

Looks like you got your self a HPI sport 1,as for the motor sorry i got out of electric R/C cars and steped in to nitro.[link]http://hpiracing.com/index2.htm[/link] they can help you at hpi just call them up and ask away I have had to do the same thing in the past and they are a big help and can tell you every thing you need to know about your car and what will fit.Drifting is a skill some cars can drift better but any car can drift with the right tires on it. best of luck and have fun

yeah thats what i thought. thanks. i was just wondering about my car cause i know it is a 10 turn motor and its wicked fast. it might be too fast for drifting but i could be wrong. i like my car and i have abs drifting wheels on it right now.
