towerhobbies.com would probly be the best place to order from. unless you can find the same model on ebay cheaper (not very often)

tamiya produces some great electric drifters, and some of the most wanted. but also the most expensive.

but the HPI drift kits are pretty decent out of the box too. Cost about $500 bucks though for a very nice drift car... keep that in mind.

Get a E-Revo and throw PVC Tires on it.
Done.

i second Sweed, i would get something like the E-Revo and put different tires on it to drift and when your bored, you can put the off road tires on and hit the track(front yard) and play in some dirt, or you can get some kind of truggy and put PVC tires on it, might be a little more than a rtr drift car but also multi-purpose for what you want to do.

also go try and find parts for that rcx car before you buy it to make sure you can get replacement parts and look up a review on it before you buy it, see the only thing im thinking is that a lot of hobbie shops dont carry that barnd and i have asked the lhs that i hang out at sometimes about the rcx stuff, and they've been open for 5-6 years now, and they said "huh what brand? sounds bogus" so they said if you buy something thats not a majior brand go look up parts and reviews first before you buy it! because it really sucks when you buy it and it breaks then you cant get parts for it, know what i mean? lol just be sure you know what your buying before you buy it!

dont but cheap *** crap like rcx. you'll pay more money in the end. Buy quality. you get what you pay for. if you can afford a 250-300 dollar kit. and then later on another 200 bucks in upgrades to make it a quality drift car. well get a better job, save some more money, or keep dreaming. cheap kits just dont cut it. they hurt the pocket book more in the long run.

it will really be money more well spent to just save and wait it out. Go look at anyone that does competition drifting. Not a single one is using a cheapo kit lol. because they just dont perform good. theres a reason behind it. and thats it.

i think AE has a pretty good cheap drift kit too. but i cant recall. Either way. 250 bucks doesnt take too long to save. as long as ya dont spend it!

i would save since you said there is no way for you to get money ok, here's something: ok grab a shovel or if you can a snowblower(usually a shovel), go around the block or somewhere were you don't walk for miles if you see people's driveways and sidewalk unplowed, go up to the door and knock, if someone answers, ask if you can shovel for them for like 5 bucks (thats all i asked for) unless and old person then do it for free, then if they say yes and go ahead and start scooping. boom you earn some money. i did it last year it worked good for xmod parts and misc. things. i saved money from last year and i bought an axial ax10 with some assistance from my dad, for credit card purposes, and earlier today i bought L4D(Left 4 Dead) with some more money from shoveling. it may be time consuming but it will pay in the long run.( get that last sentence?)

RTR means Ready to run, so I'm 100% sure it will come with everything.
