People love RC drifting. I think RC drifting is the most popular segment of RC touring cars. You don't need the latest and greatest equipment. You can build your cars to look more realistic. RC drifting can be done anywhere you find a patch of pavement. I've been offroading lately, YEEHAW (RIP Vance Duke), so I don't really have a bunch of RC drifting under my belt. I do have a lot of
cheeseburgers touring car stuff under my belt so I know a good chassis when I see one. This one right here is a sweet one.
It's a Tamiya with alloy parts so expect the price to be way more than you want to spend. Also think about the cool factor of owning a top of the line Tamiya car. Girls won't care but the guys on your local drift team will. This chassis also has a forward mounting motor. I like that. I have stared at various shaft drift cars and thought of what was necessary to do this. I was always stalled by the steering. I like the way Tamiya got around this by putting the steering servo behind the motor. I also like how they eliminated the top deck with that aluminium beam. I am sad to see no Tamiya plugs. Those plugs were named after Tamiya! I know they aren't great but
everything comes with them. I have also included a video because nothing is as exciting as Tamiya generic video music.

You would be surprised if you knew how big it really is. After running a drift group for 4 years I have run into a great number of groups, teams and forums. Enough so that I couldn't write them all down in one mind mapping document. (about 5 pages if you did it in a word document and only wrote down the names).
