Anyone ever seen this before?
I've known about it for a while, and also know it recently blew up over in the states. Looks fun..
Looks amazing.

I used to own a few RCs, but since I got the mini I've sort of forgotten them!
I still have a Tamiya TT-01, which is the chassis some of the people use for drifting in the above videos.

Haha - to get your car to be that precise will take hours of testing and tweaking. Join some forums, get to know the tricks of the trade. Just like owning a mini!

They're 4WD. A RC car is too light to be able to drift with just RWD; you'll just find yourself spinning. They also use the differentials to help them countersteer - normal 4WD RCs aren't able to do the countersteering that you see in the videos.

Darn, sorry. I had no idea. I thought the topic on RC cars was just a discussion thread. Obviously haven't been all the way through. My bad.

ive been into it for a while! i have a tamiya TT01 chassis
drift style subaru body
you dont need much.
stiffer rear suspension
hard compound tyres
locked diffs(i used screwed up paper as it gives a little play to help steering when not drifting and it also can be put to std)
anything after that can make it slightly easier/ability to keep it sideways longer. but to just go sideways thats all
