In all honesty bro if I knew back then what I know now I wouldnt have owned either... also if the Tamiya VDF or VDS was available I wouldve bought one of those, built for drifting with drifters in mind parts are so easy to get will set you back a bit these days ..... where as the TT & Sprint are based on touring cars...
But for a Noob Out of the 2 your looking at I would go with the sprint good platform to start with, the motor they supply is all good and will last you ages, you can always buy a Brushless system later as your skill improves but then if you feel its not for you it would probably have a better resale value on it then the TT.... The stickers are cool and the Manual will be a good quality booklet. Only downside is you have to buy a battery and charger no biggie.... If youve never used Lipos before do a bit of research as well they can be deadly in the wrong hands dont let that scare you though with the right charger & if you look after them properly they will last you a while ( mine lasted 3 years & still going ).
Yeah hop ups are all the bling bits you can buy most dont increase performance they merely replace original plastic bits .... Although ball bearings in a TT01 dont come standard unless you buy the R or D version these are considered a hop up, BS I know.... neither of these kits come with adjustable shocks but the ones in the sprint would be better & you can always stiffen them up using cable ties or just buy some aftermarket shocks plenty of variety available these days in all sorts of colours, The TT01 you will need an alloy shaft, alloy motor mount, ball bearings, optional smaller spurs & a larger pinion to get more potential out of it but you may find the BL system will chew your drivetrain ( Spur & Pinion ) alot faster than normal......
