no, the Sprint2 and E10 are not essentially the same. they are essentially different.
the suspension style is different, and the s2 is belt driven, while the e10 is shaft driven:
BD drifting pros:
-no torque steer
-easy to change the gear ratios F/R for Countersteer Drifting
-slighty more forgiving
Cons:
- belts whip sometimes
-belts can snap from too much strain
-belts can be damages by small pebbles kicked up from the surface
- more expensive
Shaft drive Pros:
-cheaper
-more resilient against rocks
-exact wheelspeeds
cons:
-not as forgiving
-torque steer
-cans till snap or twist driveshaft to the breaking point
-lots of friction from all the gearings
-harder to adjust
