If you want to play drifting, you must buy AWD series (MA-010).
The basic New RTR Set, AM Band, is about $10xx~ & over, depend on what body la.
You can drift with the Original car ga la.
It would be much better to know more before buying a 2nd hand la.
You can search the "2nd hand forum" in the site.
