are these the D1 style drifters? at work and cant open the vids. If so, i bought Ken Nomuras ER34 Blitz D1 drift car from Japan recently. The Battery doesnt last long, but they are good fun otherwise. SO many aftermarket parts you can buy for these things.

New wheels, coilovers, bigger batteries, bigger motors, sticky tyres etc etc..

These have been around for a while. You actually modify a remote control car to drift by changing the tyres. Those look like battery operated cars you should try with petrol power heaps more power.

If you're interested, see my post in my sig! =-]

Yeah just get a RC car of ebay or somthing, i think most drifters are electric not the petrol ones, i find the elexctrics work heeps, better, you can jsut put PVC pipe on the back wheels and it works perfectly, my mate and me bought a Awd petrol one, put a 2speed in it, and put pvc pipe over the back wheels, the pipe most hardware storse will give for free as its only a tiny bit, needed.

normally they are 4wd cars with drift rings around the tyres or cheapest option is cut up pvc pipes and glue it on the wheels.

if you want cheap way go for the Tamiya TT01 or TB02 with PVC pipes.

if you want the good stuff go for the Yokomo Drift package, these will give better control and hold difts for a long time. (more info go to yokomousa.com)

If you guys are interested, I import these on special order.

every hobby shop that i've been into over the past 2 years has been selling these things.

[RyanN]

dont have any hobby shops where i live, only toy stores that stock crap. i might look at getting one in from japan.

Hi All,

A company in the USA called Yokomo specifically builds 1/10-scale electric RC drift cars. They work by placing hard plastic / rubber rings on the rear tyres which, combined with the torque of the 540 electric motor allows you to drift them.

They all come with clear Lexan plastic bodies which represent cars that are or have plied their trade on the D1 circuit in Japan.

This link should answer a few more questions. Tower Hobbies does ship to Australia and they are far cheaper than most of the Aussie hobby shops (sorry to say that, but buying in bulk has its advantages, so does a lack of GST )

This is my RC drift car its pretty fun to mess around with to pass the time.
