The e10 is horrible.... Thats a waste. The tt-01 is good. but i would get the HPI RTR Sprint 2 Sport and then put a team orion brushless motor in it. and your set

The e10 isnt a bad car for the price, but as said it really isnt designed to last or take much more than stock power.

Its a great beginner car but not much more than that. By the time you spend a bit to get it reliable (bearings are an absolute must) you could have bought a better designed chassis in the first place.

Comparing my e10 to higher quality cars, its easy to see the difference. However i have had a lot of fun with mine, and happy with it for the price

I'd do the Sprint II. I had the orignal Sprint with a Mamba 7700kv and it was fantastic. Never had many problems but the ones I had were my own fault. The E10 is a real chaep version and would not stand up to a brushless system. I wouldn't waste your money. At the same time I had my Mamba 7700 in a TT-01 and usto blow a lot of money on the diff gears, both front and rear. Could never find a brand that would stand up to the BL system. Hope this helps.

the enzo is the best deal out of that but it is a 6 year old model and isnt drift. it doesnt seem worth it to spend so much extra for the drift version when i could get the e10 and spend the 100 dollars on hop ups for making it awsome. hmm.. it doesnt matter because i have to sell my off-road buggy before i can buy.

No there is a difffernce in drift and race spec. It all has to do with the weight disturbtion. raceing i think there is more weigth in the back while the drifet is in the front. But why spend 100 extra bucks on a car. when the tt-01 can do anything with some simple upgrades.

well with the tt-01, if i get a drift model, i am forced to spend the extra 100 but with the e10 drift, i can use those 100 dollars to do whatever i want to the car.

How are you forced to spend 100 on the tt-01? The E10 you will spend it on. The e10 eats drive shafts.

you came on for advise, at this point everyone has given their opinion, make your choice - spend your money - and live with the consequences. If you want the e10, THEN GET IT. don't waste your time here trying to justify it....

At the ends of the drive shafts its grooved like a pinion gear. And some how i dont know look them up on this website. But anyways it strips the ends off the shafts so you will be buying more of them. and belt is better.
