to make this a drift chassis without going to overboard. you need a locked diff in the rear and preferably a one way in the front.
if you want to get into the CS stuff that is going on at the moment you need to change the centre pulleys to get more drive from the rear than the front. You will also need to increase the steering throw. There are some youtube clips on this for the sakura zero.
the pure drift chassis are very different in the motor and battery placement so there is a lot of customizing required if you want to do the lot and is probably cheaper in the end to get a drift chassis.

ESC, basically a re branded version of the solid & reliable Hobbywing ver 2.1 esc
Motor, as stated above, very inexpensive and give the same performance as the big $$ brands
Program card, will allow you to change & adjust settings in the esc. Even though it says it's the "Turnigy" brand it will work with the above esc.
Cheers

Gearing this bad boy
Ok, Gearing this car is a pain in the butt.
with the stock spur the MAX pinion you can fit is a 37t and the 37 didn't even fit right. too tight. (36 is real world) With a 37t FDR was at 4.108 I wasn't even breaking 110 degrees with a 17.5 blinky
So I got the vertical motor mount and 37t would not fit at all.
Changed the spur to a 78t(stock is 80t) and had to grind a bit of the vertical mount so the 37t would fit. Now FDR is 4.005 getting better.
I now have 74t and 75t spurs coming. I also have 37t diffs coming at well.
I also have 19t layshaft gears as well, but that is not direction i want to go.

With the 19 tooth pulleys and the 38 tooth gears your ir is 2.0 so a 44 tooth pinion is a 4.0 FDR. a 47 tooth would be a 3.74. I have only run up to a 46 tooth but the 47 should fit just fine.

65/47 * 1.9 = 2,62
But which motor did you stuff in there? My 13.5T would go up in smoke in two laps with a ratio like that. I'm using the 19T pulleys to get the belts more relaxed, so with a 69T spur and 34T pinion my FDR is 69/34 * 2 = 4,06.
