You can drift ANY 4WD electric/nitro (electric is preferable) as long as you slap some pvc/abs pipe over the rims.

And good luck drifting a 1/10 ST on-road but once you get them in the dirt, its extremely fun.

If you want videos go to www.rcdrift.com and click on the videos section or you can go to the forums video section..You'll have to register to visit the BB's but that takes about 2 minutes.

Nice pics The camo AE86 is pretty wicked looking too..

I have a pretty sweet video of some rc car drifting, but im not sure how to post it.

wow rc drifting is getting big.
and yes you can drift most any rc car. tape up or put pvc over the tires. adjust camber to about 4 deg in the front and 0 in the back.soft springs in front and hard ones at the back. well thats how i do it. you can just tape it up and slide but i find that adjusting the suspension will allow more control.

ok so u said electric/nitro electric is better how i mean wut or the pros/cons of each and how do they plz and thanks in advance

[micrors4racer1]

well for one thing nitro's have a higher center of gravity and are heavier and esiaer to spin out on and there is a high chance of over revving.on the other side electrics are lighter,lower,and have a better control when drifting.either one can drift just as well as the other,its just a matter of experience.if you are just startign out i sugesst electric.

Here's my car with S15 body. Sorry for the height of the body, I was scraping because of tire wear.




Here's my old body (Imamura's FD). Some of you may have seen it in pictures in Super Street and some other magazines for the First official RC drift expo/competition held by Super Street, RC Driver, and Yokomo in Southern California

[s15-spec-R]

ooh and too the microracer guy thnx!

[s15-spec-R]

and also? are all of the cars in the pictures elictric??bcuz i think the yokomos are too expense and i think there nitro but i dun know

[general ganja]

All the cars in the pictures are electric, however, there are a few nitro drifters out there, and some who have participated in our events.

Yes, the yokomo kits are a bit more expensive, but that isn't your only choice for a rc drifting candidate.

I'm not sure what site you're talking about in reference to the videos taken down, and bandwith issue, but make sure it's this following site. Register free, and it's in the video section.

somebody needs to figure out a way to fit smoke bombs under there so they can be lit off while "drifting"
