I've never seen that one before, but if you want to race, you may want to give that one a miss - I see no adjustment holes on the shock towers, and no adjustment rings on the shocks (though that's common on RTR and low budget tourers), so you're stuck with that suspension setup, barring a change of springs, oil, and (though I can't tell from the pics) roll centres.
For car park bashing, it looks fine, nice and robust.
It'll probably drift just fine, and that shell is lovely (albeit not a touring car shell).
Low budget racers that you can drift with are the Schumacher Mi1, Tamiya TA-05 v2, Xray T3R, Sakura Zero S, Team Magic E4JS (I run one of these, so can help with setup), or alternately a good, used car from your club of choice - TC drivers change cars as often as pants, so there'll be options for sure.
For electrics, you'd want a brushless sensored ESC (Hobbywing Xtreme Stock is best bang per buck, do a search on it), a suitable brushless sensored motor for the class you want to race (17.5, 13.5 etc), one decent lipo battery and charger, they have massive capacity so only really a need for one, a decent servo (Savox low profile is best value) and radio (keep an eye in For Sale or post in the wanted ads).
Non-2.4ghz RTR radio gear is essentially worthless the moment you've bought it, so represents poor value for money to get it with the car.
Most importantly, visit the venue you want to race at before blowing cash. They'll tell you fairly much the same thing as above.
