Default Good first time RTR Drift car?

What are some good first time Drift cars? I have never had a drift car before... I have been searching the internet and I have found the Yokomo drift cars and the Hpi Drift cars. Are there any other RTR Cars that would be better for a Newbie like myself.

I bought the HPI E-10, I'm sure it isn't the best out there, but I have been having a blast with mine.

the HPI is best if you keep crashing. The chassis is really flexible.

overall though the Yokomo is a better package. But it breaks easier.

i have both and a tt-01

i like my tt-01 best.

but that's my opinion.

I'm not sure there is a "best" drift car. I prefer Tamiya's TL01. The HPI E10 seems like a good one. I had the Yokomo before, not bad, but I'd recomend something else.

The HPI is great for a first drifter. Don't get a Yokomo for your first drift car.

My E-10 is very durable and a great drifter. Also I have herd nothing but good about the E10.

I like my e-10 seems to take a beating while I am learning. once I get the hang of it I will upgrade.
