[stevepeanut]

that is so damn cool

 

whats the set up on a R/C drift car at the rear end, is it a fixed axle with no diff?

 

is it rwd or 4wd?

 

I've owned and raced dozens of R/C but never had a drift car, I want one now!

its mainly the same as normal 4 wheel drive with diffs just they have moved the motor to the front less weight on the rear and solid plastic drift tyres i think you could get away with just putting drift tyres on which are about £2-£3 on ebay
