I got the car second hand off of EBay, but all in all including the car, batteries, nitro fuel, my new shell, paint etc. it's come in about £300~350'ish (but mine did come with a bunch of hop-ups) Not cheap, but great fun. The drifting is pretty hard unless you can find a perfectly smooth (very open) piece of tarmac. The drift kit centres the engine and fuel tank on the car body for weight distribution. But you can get a plain Nitro car and put on drift tyres (basically a hard compound tyre) or similar ones which you put plastic rings around. With the normal tyres that I had on the now it goes like stink - about 45mph+ My shell is actually a 180mm wide for electric cars but I made it fit to my ca no prob.
