you think circuit city would retail something that cant do what it claims?
walmart sell those drift RC cars too, they are pretty big.
Finally, Barbie can have a drift car of her own.

Or, you could buy a regular RC car, put electrical tape on the wheels, and then
go have some fun with that.

uhh... I personally wouldn't buy those, because they look just too cheap, I've heard they do decent with the drifting thing and all, but there's much better ways of accomplishing that (and more expensive too). It sounds like you don't really wanna spend that much, so just drop the money on those ones at wal-mart/circuit city. Any drifting rc will be slow, most of the time anyways, perhaps save the yokomos, and maybe some that people built that don't use pvc as tires. It's just pvc/any kinda plastic tire doesn't really have the grip a car needs to go fast and drift...

Yokomo and HPI make drift cars from thier awd chassis nitro and electric, the difference from these cars and regular touring cars is just the tires basicly, they are made with pvc strips inlayed with the rubber. As for the circuit city cars, you get what you pay for and most likley its not going to drift its most likeley a chincy car with a cool body on it.

I have a nikkon drift z it slides pretty well but I dont like the controls all that much. I think a steering wheel on the control would be better than the levers for counter steering bu all in all its fun on my tile floor.
