Things you can plan for now, start with a quality charger and lipo batteries, new tires and rims are always nice and will wear out if you run on rough surfaces and only cost $8 a set, upgrade your radio next to something much better, new body shells are cheap and make the car look like new again this will cost you around the $30 mark. By now your brushed motor is starting to get tired, time to get a nice brushless motor and esc.
Use Hobbyking for lots of these things and you will save cash along the way. Hopups for the car, forget them, they are a waste of time and money, get the things you need now like tires, the things you will take with you, quality radio, charger and batteries and when you are ready, a real pro drift chassis.
Hope that helps you some.
Oh and mostly, HAVE FUN.
