the TT-01 is a very reliable rc car, you can change practically anything, e.g. The wheel style, suspension, shafts, bearings, RC SYSTEM TYPES, tyres and have more choices on body shapes/colour also it can be purchased with or without HOP-UPs although some of them dont include RC SYSTEMS. The TT-01 is still very affordable and upgradable, penultimatly it is a very nice RC car and can be controlled with either a stick type controller or a gun type controller, further more it has many more hop ups then the E10 and the hop ups are easy to buy. . . ive recently purchased a full tamiya RC KIT for £121. plus around £10 for paints etc... i personally would go with the TT-01... Sorry if you had your heart set on the E10.

yea, well the e10 seems to be better for what i had in mind, which is just drifting and racing around in my neighborhood.

if i can find the tt01 for the same price i will take it, but i dont think its happening.

I would choose TT-01

Reasons:

-Lots of parts available almost any where! Tons of them on eBay.(Trust me, you will want to upgrade almost any stock cars)
-Lots of information on the car! The official TT-01 threads here has over 100 pages.
-I believe almost every LHS has parts for the TT-01 chassis if you don't want to wait for shipping.
-Very simple setup! Any problems can be easily fixed easily.
-Comes with a very detailed documentation.
-Lots of bodies available

So you want to drift:
-Get a set of drift tires(or you can make your own)
-Lock the back differentials(Can be done within 10 minutes with hot glue, can be easily unlocked if you wish to race)
-Get a faster motor. The stock speed controller is very touch and even though it says it can only support up to 23T motor, I see people dropping in a 17T or even 15T.

So you want to race:
-Get a fast motor
-Gear it up
-It can be very fast too!
-If you have $$, consider brushless! they are crazy fast if you do it properly.

But the most important thing is parts availability and the simple setup of the TT-01 Chassis.

If you want to take the challenge, get a kit and build it yourself. It can be done very fast!

I think that's enough reasons. Also, I don't think that they are too expensive since it's an entry level chassis.

good arguments. i will see if i can find it.

i heard that the e10 doesnt require locking the back diff. what does that do anyway?

Personally, I think to make drifting easier, any car will need to lock the back diff... it does not depend on the car... some people don't think that way

THE E10 PROBABLY DOESNT REQUIRE LOCKING THE REAR DIFF BECAUSE IT INCLUDES BALL DIFFS, YOU ONLY LOCK THE REAR DIFF IN A TT-01 IF YOU DONT WANT TO BUY BALL DIFFS, PRETTY SIMPLE I GUESS . . . WHAT PRICE ARE YOU LOOKING TO GET YOUR E10/TT-01? We can always help !

There are many kinds of TT-01s theres the:

DRIFT TT-01D COMES WITH THE DRIFT SPEC!

RACE TT-01R COMES WITH THE RACE SPEC!

AND ENHANCED TT-01E THE BASIC TT-01 JUST ENHANCED/HOP'ED UP !
