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..

i cant seem to find anyone in australia that sells though rc drifters, looks like a lot of fun!

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.

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.

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 :( )

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
