I've been looking around online lately for an electric drift car to get just to mess around with. I won't be doing any racing at all, so I'm aiming to go cheap as possible pretty much. I've narrowed it down to either the Drift Star or the Madspeed, but I have a few questions...
1. What's the difference between the two? All I can tell is the body graphics and the slight price difference.
2. Do you think it's worth it to go with the brushless driftstar for $50 more if I'm just looking to mess around with it? I'll just be running in my garage/parking lots.
3. What kind of surfaces can these drift on? Like does it have to be shiny concrete, or can it be pavement, or rough street asphault, or tile?
4. What type of connector is on the batteries? does it have a name? (

5. About how long do the batteries last? both the 1800 mah and the 3000. And what about charge time with the stock charger?
6. What speeds would I be looking at for the drift star, drift star brushless, and the madspeed?
7. If I get the brushed drift star now, will I be able to upgrade to brushless later on by just dropping in a new engine, or will I have to change other things, too (like the esc or something)?
I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm brand new to drifting, and even electric in general for that matter. I've only owned or ran offroad nitro before. Thanks in advance!
