Hello all,

For two years now, I have been racing offroad in a stock 4x4 SCT class with considerable success. I am now interested in drifting and want to get a good chassis that is:

durable
adjustable (not hpi e10)
easy to find parts for (not yokomo)
under $300 (not Tamiya TA05 VDF)

kit or RTR is fine.
shaft driven is preferred.

I was looking at the Associated TC4 and HPI Sprint 2 Drift.
I have heard mostly good things about both though I have heard that the HPI suffers from belt breakage and steering slop. Which should I get? I am currently leaning more towards the TC4. Any other suggestions?

And are there any good Brushless systems out there that you recommend for less than $150?

I'm not looking to compete, but mainly go bashing.

Thanks,
Vel
