good or bad buy?

Yeah don't buy it!
There isn't even a picture of the chassis.
Bodies are easy to come by and paint up.
Have a look at rcmart.com or rc-race-and-drift-japan.com for good prices on decent chassis.
Stick to the top brands like Tamiya, HPI and even Yohomo if you are desperate :P
If you want a purpose built drift chassis look at the Tamiya TA-05 VDF, Streetjam OTA or if you have plenty of money the Yokomo DRB.
I have used nearly every chassis over the past 7 years drifting and the OTA is the best I've ever used.
