The second one is a hugely better chassis. But that's a kit, whereas the first one is fully built (XB). So that's why the second one is not much more expensive even though it's so much better. Both will need some modifications for drifting, but that shouldn't be too complicated/hard on either.
There's an argument that says if you're going to modify it, and therefore have to take it apart, perhaps you should build it from scratch anyway ?
I suggest either a pre-built non-drift-spec model isn't much good if you want to drift it. But fine if you don't of course !

That's a kit, and Yokomo does have a good name, as Rabster says. I thought I saw a version of that one somewhere that was ready-to-run, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.

Lexusboy What size model should you really buy if your going to race it?
Just race it and not drift you mean ? I will have to leave Rabster or someone else to answer it.
For drifting you want a 1/10 scale car, and it doesn't really matter whether it's a 190mm or 200mm chassis - different manufacturers use either one or the other. You just make sure your body will suit the chassis if you're getting the body and chassis from different manufacturers.

Lexusboy Drifting is what i want so a 1/10:thumbup1:
Ps Steve the one you listed is out of stock so i might phone then to see when there back into stock
Are you interested in that IS/Altezza body ? I have had very good service from Modelsport, they should be able to tell you roughly when they're expecting more stock in.
Or you can get it here from Hong Kong, and they have it in stock. I've used those guys too, again good service. You'll have to pay a VAT when it comes in though.
