NICE!
I think it's going to be one heckuva drift car. The HPI Sprint 2 which has a similar drivetrain setup seems to be a popular and very capable drifter.
Just gotta figure out a battery box or you can just tape a pack in.
It's safe to say that you will be the only one drifting a Xray T1 Evo2 out in your area. Everybody's going to be saying "Whazzat!?".
