Awesome gift! If you need any help along the way, post or PM us. We've been running TT-01 variants for a long time. Very familiar with it.

Very cool! But for the novices reading this, let's be clear... @
Supermassive is running a more advanced kit designed for competitive racing. You do not have to spend that kind of money ($400 just for the bare chassis) to have fun in this hobby.

Nitro stuff is different because the cars are heavier and react differently to input. @
wparsons was simply clarifying that AWD is a very common setup for drifting rc cars. The drift tires (i.e. plastic tubing) are easily controlled with an AWD platform. Lots of people have rc cars that look like a 2-wheel drive body (example: FRS), but the chassis is actually AWD (example: the HPI & Tamiya kits we've been discussing). People new to the hobby might be confused by this, so it's worth clarifying.
Also, in those videos posted earlier -- those were all AWD cars.
