Definitely appears to be a MST, not sure exactly which model. I’d definitely check the camber of each wheel to make sure it’s set to what you think you’d like. It’s all about testing and tuning. Every drift car is setup differently, just comes down to finding what works for you. That servo and gyro are fantastic. I run them in my mst 2.5 and sd 3.0, I would like to know what esc and motor combo it has equipped. If you plan on running at a track talk to your locals and figure out what tires they run. MST golds, and silvers are popular choices as well as yokomos and another brand (unsure at the moment). Otherwise, enjoy the rig. Driving is key, it’s not easy by any means. Practice practice practice

I personally run 6-8 degree camber in the front and 0-1 degree in the rear. But again all drift cars are setup differently. You’ll have to find what works for you. Surface plays a big role as well. That esc is the business! Definitely got yourself a high quality drifter that someone put money into. Set your gyro end points and get sliding!😎🤘

Welcome! (I'm also new :D) The servo, gyro and esc are good. learn to tune it so you can make your car feel how you want it to. A good starting point is working on the camber
