Hello there everybody, i am new to this R/C thing, however today i went to a local hobby shop today and say the 1/10 Ferrai enzo TB-01, and i was absolutely STUNNED, i thought to my seld i HAAAAAAAAAAAAD to have this, but i came home to do some research first, and talk to my friend, he said he has TL-01 with the castrol supra for a body, now obviously i figured TB-01 would prbably give me the best results, but however TL-01 is a bit cheaper, am i going to bet similar results with the TL? i wanna learn to drift, after watching thoe SG videos, omfg, anyway similar results? not similer? any suggestions?? and price isnt the BIGGEST isuues but would like to keep it as low as possible. Thankz guys.

Hello. Welcome to the hobby. Any 4WD car could drift. You will get the similer results after alot of practice. It doesn't matter what one you get at least it is 4wd again and has adjustable suspension. I will look for some information on both and get back too you.

Seems to be a good car. I believe any 190mm body will fit it.

Does it come with at MSC or an ESC speed controller. You don't really need adj shocks right away only adj things like camber to chang the angle of the wheel.
