I want to get into the drifting world. if this the best way to go or is there a better solution

there ceap because there kits. i would get the tt-01d if i were u, thats what i just ordered toaday
it comes with drift tires, special suspension tunings, full ball bearings, sport tuned motor, aluminum motor heat sink, CVA mini shock dampers and short springs.

u need a radio and 1 servo

cool. right now i have an upped hpi rs4 but its basicly build for speed. its really nice but its wicked fast like i said. igot an extra radio and servo so its not a problem.

i was thinking either yokomo or tamiya. depends.

yokomos more expencive but in the long run its probably worth it

Why Not stick with HPI and go a Sprint 2???

well i have an hpi rs4 sport. 2 speed 4 wheel drive right now.. im happy with hpi but im ready for a change. the tt-01 seems like a nice cheap way to go for right now since i just had a daughter. if i could get one used from someone local then id be happy. someone had one for sale where i live for 100 bucks and had ups with it but when i said i wanted it about 30 mins later it was gone.

i like the sprint 2 as magnat has said... but, its belt Vs shaft again...

If you look for TT-01, TT-01D is right for you...ball bearings , sport tuned motor ,CVA ,lights,drift tires,esc...all is in the kit.
just radio and servo not included....of course battery and charger not included

just one piont about kits while u make them up YOU learn where everything goes for when u need to strip it down for upgrades or general cleaning so a kit may be a good ideal

i learned everything he hard wa on my first kit haha [:@]
