Default RC drifting... anyone else?

So Dazza, myself and fozzy are gonna be building some little electric 1/10 drift cars.

We're using pretty basic tamiya kits that can be had for about £60 off ebay and adding a few little mods such as tyres, diffs and bodies etc.

This is really cheap and fun form of RC and IMO one of the most enjoyable. You dont need a big wallet or massive petrol engines to have a whole heap of fun.

I dont think anyone can say this vid isnt cool.

YouTube - www.groovydrift.com and Team Arai Yokomo RC Drift Demo

The escort cossie will be made into the drift car
