i personally think that it would have too much weight in the front, if you want it to drift just follow the common rule of SR or CA, they are light enough and make enough power stock to be a competent drifter, as your skills improve bump up the power, it may cost a little extra to get the power you are after. wheras you might save money with the 1J it will be harder to drift.
save money = harder to drift
spend more = better to drift
choice is yours..... i'd know what i'd do!
