    Looks like that would be a HECK of a lot more fun than real drifting... and more fun just to watch, too

    Those are probably like X-mods or atomic mods. They can get pretty expensive. They do have some pretty crazy mods for those things and some ridiculously fast motors for thier size. I'd say its a lot easier to drift one of those than you think giving the power of the motor and the weight of the car. Also, I was told that you can't run those things for very long at top speeds 10 minutes tops before you fry the motor that cost around $300 or a lot more. This one guy at the shop my friend works at said he spent like $750 on a motor and it wasn't even the best motor he could have gotten. But he didn't want to go gas he wanted to stay electric.
    Blah blah blah!

    This makes me want to bring my R/C buggy to the next Wed meet.

    OK I pretty sure I'm not the only one with a RC car, maybe some of you can bring other RC things to the meet? Just an idea

    I haven't even started my HPI RS4-2 for a year or two. AWD doughnuts were cool, though.

    RC cars are the . I have a gas truck. It was only RWD but it was fun. There was a local shop that had a dirt track built out back. It was hella fun but I kept breaking the stock parts and having to spend more money on upgrades.

    That looks like it would be pretty cool to see. Did anyone else notice at the end where it said they were using PVC tires? Do you think they make those in 15"

    I started my T-maxx for the first time in over a year, after it warmed up it ran fine, I was kind of surprized, It did take for ever to get it to start. but it sure is fun. Doing dounts on three wheels is sweet.

    later,
