ya. Personally, i'm waiting for someone to get one of those miniature wireless survelliance cameras and put it on one of the cars. That'd make for an interesting clip.

i was thinkin the exact same thing....ive been playin with mine this arvo, but it doesnt have the right tyres....drift wheels are basically just plastic rings...mine are slicks, but still fair grippy...still slides on smooth concrete tho lol

been there, done that on an RC car (when working at DickSmith)
also had some guy wire up a wireless cam to his tie, and just kept serving customers while the images were being beamed to the TV's at the back of the store

These're battery operated, u can go alot faster if u have nitro car.

we've got 3 in the family, race on st, carpark lots, and quiet.
if want to buy one, buy a proper one.

harder to drift with nitro i reckon...i sold my older rc car that i used to drift with...came 3rd in a comp though! spent over $600 on it...that wasnt even a brushless motor...

Ugh, the only RC worth owning is a monster truck, and a crawler class monster at that. I poured $1500 into my Clod crawler, it'd pull 35+kg and climb a 16" high verticle step.. the truck was only 15" wide and 18" long on 6" rubber.. it had some serious climbing abilities.

well my car will go from 0-60 in about 2secs (not bad for a .12 engine!)
front one way diff means it turns on a pin head... and gets very un easy/side ways under brakes
lotsa CF goodies, a nice gunmetal grey machined chassis (everyone else seems to have a regular silver one)
aluminium parts here, there, everywhere!
pics eh?
prior to my new tuned pipe, aluminium supports, and new radio gear arriving. lol, drift rims are a bit dirty too

My crappy nitro(stock .15 motor) car will do 4WD drifts when running on slicks and asphault

As soon as you make it RWD it's near impossible to drive, so no chance of drifting it.

I used to run locked rear diff for drifting, was mental!
then locked front as well for "warming tyres"
doesnt drift very well at all with its front one way though

LOL @ the idea of a RC car spooling up as it drifts past you. Damn.

I didnt think it was possible to have a turbo or supercharger on a R/C engine
