yup dats a tt-01 chassis. good to drift cuz i own one
but i believe this car is like the "cheap" drifters. for a little more money, you can get one of those 4wd cars that is more adjustable than the tt-01...like the TC4 or TB-02....i think...but if you wanna stick with the tt-01, it will drift from stock and its MIGHTY fun. oh, get some ABS pipe for the tires. maybe some1 else will chime in

EDIT: you just edited your post when i finished my post
...anway, those 3 are good. all based on the tt-01 chassis. just personal preference as to whitch ever body you like

RE: planning on getting a drift car.what kind?
tt-01 is definitely a good place to start...
depends on your budget tho.
being that your in the US, some well supported choices are also
ANY YOKOMO
TC4
TB-02
SPRINT 2
CYCLONE
also ABS are nice and cheap, but there are getting to be soo many good offerings in the way of drift tires don't limit yourself to a piece of pipe. It's mad fun to tear up the street w/ a set of grippy/drift tires and a brusless...

The tamiya tt01 was is a great car. But if you want an adjustable car to set camber, toe, droop, caster, ride hieght, etc ect. Go for a Sprint 2, Cyclone, or TC4. That way you can learn and see how small changes affect the cars handling and over all performance. I drive a sprint 2 and I LOVE it to death. Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Alot of my friends drive cyclones also. But its up to you between belt or shaft.

RE: planning on getting a drift car.what kind?
I drift with my team tc4 with all aluminum hopups and i love it. i also have a losi xxx-s thats just a rolling chassis right now that i was drifting with but i like the shaft system better then the belt. so much smoother.
like said above get something that you can adjust everything with ease. the tt-01 is not a fully adjustable chassis. grab a TC4 RTR there wicked nice and hopups up the butt.
