Default New to Drift

Whats up guys, Names Ivan. Completely new to real RC and have been looking into getting into drifting for some time now. Thru my local craigslist I found the chassis I wanted as well as some accesories at a good price. I grabbed a HPI Sprint 2 Drift chassis with a locked rear dif already, TF-40 Controller, Stock battery and 2 upgraded batteries, 2 sets of wheels and tires (used), a qwik charger (MRC 959) and 2 bodies (stock camaro as well as Lexus GS 400. Has lights and turn signals etc.) Paid $200 for everything. Thought it was a pretty good deal so I jumped on it. Merry Xmas to me lol. Been practicing as much as I can. The parking lot where I live works but the chassis drags on the ground so I have been going to a local mall with very low foot traffic lol. Much better place to run it haha. Ill prolly start to modify it after xmas. Going to upgrade suspension and stuff. Can anyone shed some light on brushed vs brushless? Guy I bought it off said he wouldnt recommend a brushless setup bc its too "snappy" in a drift machine. Motor in it now is a Firebolt brushed 15T. Everything is stock far as I can tell. Also can u guys recommend how to clean the car? Its kinda dusty/dirty and I wanna make sure its clean. I cant post pix yet. How many posts til I can post pix?

EDIT: Post 10 pix lol
