| Drift is considered to be when car wheels slip either | | | | -Consistent Torque |
| only rear wheels or both ( front and rear ) wheels then | | | | -Faster Throttle Response |
| the car started sliding sideways while taking a high | | | | -Relatively Clean |
| speed in the corner. | | | | -Indoor Operation |
| History of drifting car was started somewhere in | | | | Electric motors effectively produce instant torque, |
| 1970’s in Japan . Drifting has ability to get rear | | | | where nitro engines, take time for the engine to spool |
| tires to slide more than front tires meant it could power | | | | up and clutch to engage. Electric RC drift cars use high |
| much faster than another car around corner. this | | | | capacity compact batteries to drive a brushed or |
| techniques was adapted on the winding mountain | | | | brushless motor via an electronic speed control. |
| roads and this make car drifting is very popular in | | | | It is recommended that you use a shaft drive rc car |
| Japan. | | | | rather than a belt driven transmission for your drifter. |
| And now this popularity has spilled over to rc cars. If | | | | The shaft drive provides good throttle response |
| you have ever watched rc cars drifting, you will be | | | | compare to belt drive. But don’t worry about |

| This new challenging driving skill has made the Electric | | | | for drifting without problems. But if you are starting |

| easier to control the throttle during a drift. Nitro rc cars | | | | specially made drift tires made by Yokomo, HPI and |
| would probably burn out the clutch and overheat the | | | | Tamiya. |
| engines if used for drifting. | | | | Proper control may be difficult at first, but with some |
| There are advantages of Electric RC car models. | | | | practice it will gives you a better experience because |
| Electric RC drift cars offer more consistent torque and | | | | practice is the basis of a great drifter. Creating your |
| faster throttle response than nitro models and make | | | | own videos is a good and easy way to view |
| them the better option for RC drifting. | | | | progress, and learn from your mistakes. |
