Cheese.. I would Choose Electric over Nitro..

If Your Used to using Nitro boats then stick with it as the same knowledge on Boats applies to cars..

yeah the alhpa is going to be a good drifter it has the same chassis config. as the hpi evo

all you need is abs tires



and perferbly soft springs in the front with a little harder ones in the rear and a tigth rear diff and lose front difff

but the spring rate and diff set up can be set when your a little more aquinted with your car
