How to Drift a RC Drift Car

How To Drift a RC Drift Car


  1. Buy an RC car. Preferably electric ((battery powered)most people start drifting with a tamiya TT-01 cheap because you will crash and reliable ) but nitros can work too just cut extra holes to make sure the engine gets cooled sufficiently. 4WD on-road car is a must.(No buggies, truggies or trucks)
  2. Choose tires. You can get special tires (Yokomo, Hpi, Tamiya, ect., ect.) make your own or wrap your tires in electrical tape.
  3. Make homemade tires. To make your own get PVC or ABS 2 inch inner diameter, ABS gives a better "grip to slip" ratio. Cut them to the size of your rim and fit them on. By freezing your rims and boiling the tires (PVC pipes) and take it out and slip it on and it should provide a tight fit.
  4. Go out in an open space.
  5. Drive forwards and build up speed.
  6. Turn sharply and floor the throttle.
  7. Follow through. The car should now be sliding, steer into the slide and use the throttle progressively to control the slide
  8. Power out of the slide.
  9. Practice, Practice, Practice
