The only thing that means is your going to have to keep a few spare belts on hand... cause they do wear out eventually. It also depends on if there are a lot of rocks and things like that you will be driving over...
you will not get any torque steer because of it being belt some like torque steer, some don't... depends on your driving style and what fits you..

Sprint 2 will only eat belts if drifted on a surface thats unsuitable to drift on..
Eg There are tiny rocks on the track or Tennis Court surface they can get lodged.
I got over 11months out of my first rear belt and my Sprint 2 was both Drifted and Raced Weekly...
Sprint 2 is a great car, but if I was going carpark drifting, then a TT-01 would be my suggestion...

I would save your money on the E10 and get the Sprint 2. From what I have heard the E10 is not that good. There are alot of upgrades for a sprint 2 and think you will find it to be good for drifting like most others have..

The Hotbodies cyclone S is the replacement for the Sprint 2 and although it costs a little more, its a little more adjustable..
If money is the problem then you really can't go past the Tamiya TT-01..
I would recommend the TT-01 over the E10 , Sprint 2 over the TT-01 and the Cyclone S over the Sprint 2...
