Another disadvantage to drifting with a belt car....more bearings to burn up. Not fun when they seize up on you, which could burn up an ESC if you're not careful. I'd be worried about tearing up the belt too on pebbles/sand if you're not on a closed course. If you're knocking around in a parking lot or something, go with a shaft car.
What's everyone's take on HPI's new E10? I think it's a cool, cheap way for people to start out, great beginner car, much like the TT-01. Hop ups are coming too....
