not great. is that your budget? personally, i'd look for an e10 or tt-01 and put a sidewinder in it.

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.

RE: affordable rtr brushless 1/10 cars
well, considering the sprint 2 is cheaper, i am going to go with that. but should i go with the drift, or the drift sport. theyre the same price so it comes down to features
