I know Losi makes a drift but never heard of that one. Maybe someone can post a link I have not found it on Losi website.

or the most popular TT-01D (drift specs) from Tamiya ??? very upgradable and strong...
or even the new drift chassis conversion of the TB-02D...

if your looking for something on the higher end, 300-400 range, i'd look at getting a yokomo first of ebay. tc4, xxx-s, cyclone s to follow. used yokomo's go for around $200.00. the next 3 can be had for $50.00(xxx-s)-$150.00(tc4,cyclone). find one than add your brushless. i've seen lightly used gtb's with motor go for $170.00-200.00.

RE: electric drift car???
i ended up getting the TC4. and i got a 7 cell 4200 mah battery. i have not had a chance to drive it on pavement yet, its wet out here right now. i have been driving it in the auto shop i work at. i bought the hard drift tires (HPI) but the stock tires drift fine in the shop so i have not installed them yet. i started drifting with tires i made out of PVC on my schumacker nitro fusion 21 (3 speed) way too much power and the PVC is so slippery i could not control it. hopefully this new TC4 will be much more manageable. thank you for your suggestions.

Spektrum is the best 4 the price and quality and if you need a car a good one would be a TC5,
