tt01 is the best beginer drifter. with the tb03 better if u dont want to spend $$$ upgrading, and will last u longer in the learing curve. (has more set-up options) steer clear of the e10's as they are a bit fragile. (not good for new to rc) another one to look at is the ta05, or sprint 2 (both belt drive though, and probably better as a in-between before u go factory carbon)

arguably the best drift cars are ta03 (legendary in the rc drift scene - banned from competition in some countries as it is counted as an unfair advantage) the tb evo's (III is legendary tough, but the IV and V are probably the best in terms of performance) the hpi pro-d is meant to be good, but expensive (however there are knockoffs on ebay that use the same parts, most buy these and replace with genuine parts when needed) and a few expensive race chassis, but not widely used anymore. (too fragile, and too expensive to upkeep with all the open diff's, belts, constant re-builds and tuning etc..)

my recommendation is a tt01, easy for parts, easy to set up, and every man and his dog has owned one. or a tb03 if u want something a bit more unique. and with more options. stay away from yokomo unless u live in adelaide (due to the aus supplier bieng hobby habbit who suck unless u go into the store, and even then everything is ridiculously overpriced, or no stock)
