Default Looking for a hobby shop to pick up a drift car!

I really want to start drifting an R/C car, since I have so much damn time on my hands while I'm down here. I don't have a mailing address, because the post office is refusing to issue me one. I don't have anywhere to mail anything, so my only option is to go get one (even though it might cost me more). So I'm wondering, if anybody knows of a place I can get a nice tt-01 and some accesories to start up!

Orrrr, maybe one of you have one for sale...???

I got mine from Tower Hobbies, Get the HPI Sprint 2 Drift. I just got it a few months back and it's kinda fun. I put a lower turn motor on it and some pvc tires and it does some sick driftin.

aren't most r/c drift cars 'purpose built', as in motor/weight placement being completely centered as to not let the car just completely over-steer in a slide?
