I think the TA-05 is overkill for drifting but maybe that's just me. You don't need the IFS unless you like the low slung bodies that needs horizontal shocks. Personally, I think the TT-01 drifts just fine. If you were racing in a touring class that would be different but for drifting I really see little benefit.

some of the guys here run the TA-05's with the EZRUN 9t brushless system, and parking lot bash race and drift (change to drift tires) and have a BLAST

I have this and it drifts like a dream....no need for any hop ups! -TA05IFS-R:

...or if that is a little on the expensive side then get this....also no need for hop ups and might be a little better if running on rough surface! -TB02 Drift spec chassis:
