i'd get a 1:10 scale rc touring car and some 2 inch diameter PVC pipe to convert it to another drift car.
top 3 (for me) starting 1:10 touring cars (which can be converted to drift just by changing the tires):
TT01 RTR
any TA tamiya series RTR
Sprint 2 RTR
basically anything that's electric, 4wd, and is a hobby class touring car.

i started out with a tt01 kit and had to add radio, esc, batteries, charger, and whatnot and my total still only came to 245 bucks.

the pvc tires will fit just right on the wheels.

Definetly get a 4WD 1:10 scale RC car. This way, if you want to race, change the tires to grip, if you wanna drift, change the tires to drifting. I think at least... Or get into crawling.

"me no comprende"
can you rewrite that please? No me comprene este frase. Repita por favor.

anyways, i say go with a 1:10 onroad. drift, just use drift tires, grip, just use the normal tires.

imo, crawling is overrated. it's slow and unrealistic.

i don't exactly think trucks and offroading is that great.

and since your name's mini-z drift, i think you should get something that can be considered a drift car.

Anyway... lol...

Any of the Traxxas simple three; Stampede, Bandit or Rustler. You also have the choice between the XL5 versions (brushed) and VXL versions (brushless).

Stampede XL5, Rustler XL5, Bandit XL5, Bandit VXL, Rustler VXL and Stampede VXL.
