good find :D

[apples]

that is so wicked :thumbsup:

[Lo)2enz0]

there have been rc drifting video's posted before but its been like a year since than. good find and always funny to watch.

[Phy]

Not bad! I wouldn't have thought RC cars would have the mass for drifting.

Edit: And they don't, unless you use patented no-grip ABS plastic tires.:rofl:

[Moonracer]

sweet, I just picked up a cheap rc drift car and man is it fun as hell.

[97IntegraRS]

how much are they?

[Moonracer]

80 bucks. They're not the same as the ones in the video. This one is alot cheaper but still good bang for the buck. Got it at toys R us, they are called "Drift Kings" one is a sylvia and the other is an rx-7.

"Mommy.... can i burrow $80?":rofl:

[Moonracer]

:rofl: beg borrow or steal the money just get one. hehe

[Lo)2enz0]

time to hit up toys r us on the way home. I hate going in there and looking at toys, ha ha ha, I just say i am buying a present for my little cousin.

[duffspec]

i just got a s15 tyco one from toy's r us and it is fun but, I think you should save up some extra dollars and get the gas powered drift cars instead. The electric one's give you about 35min use time and need 4-5 hour charge time. The drift cars in the video are the gas powered type which can totally drift from one bend to the other no problem.

[Moonracer]

ya but they are also a lot more expensive. Besides I am just going to get another battery or two then I'm good for an hour of fun at a time.

Probably so. I got the S15 as well though, and took out the front driveshaft so it's strictly RWD :D For $80, not too bad at all.

I have one of those Xmod racer cars i got for xmas then i went out and bought the motors. I slapped the drift motor in but after like 30 mins of constant drifting i think we might of fucked something up. It was on my buddies garage floor :S Oh well i didnt have to pay for it

Do the ones from ToysR Us really drift? or is it more of a "powerslide"? Can it make it through the whole turn like the runs in the vid? $80 seems a bit too much, but if I'm sure it can drift then why not :D

Oh ya they most certainly drift. It does take some practice and skill just like the real thing though. I'm getting better and better each time I run it. Today I had it drifting in one big circle steadily and in a straight line I can toss it back and forth half decently now. Also it's AWD and comes with not just rubber tires but plastic tires as well which allows it to break loose really easily.

[Zephyr]

NOOBS! those are yokomo rc cars on the video, the REAL drift cars, not your cheap toys r us cars, these things run for over 300 bucks and then with acessories, tires and tuning (yes tuning) it's gonna end up costing over 500.

I'm planning to get one myself, maybe Miki Ryuji's Top Secret car or Kazama Yasuki Kei-Office car.

I think everyone was pretty clear on that already :rolleyes:

[infected]

Yea... not everyone wants to cough up $500 to drift a toy.
I think I'll get the noob drifters from toys r us tmr. :D

[Payner]

Damn, I might have to go get one

[IncredibleToad]

i rather blow the $500 on my real car than a drift RC car..lol

wicked video n RC's tho :thumbsup:

[Moonracer]

haha sweet, you went gold with the rims. :thumbsup: I'm still deciding on the color for the second set. hmmmm
How do you like it?

[infected]

haha thanks. I'm loving the gold, but I went over a rock and it flipped so I've got some extreme curbage happening on the left :cry:

[Moonracer]

ya don't worry frosty and I also have some curbage on the rims and some scuff marks on the body. Yup soon be time for a paint job. :rofl: I have some left over paint just beggin for a body to cover.

[infected]

Sounds good, probably gonna cut out the fake muffler and make a 3D onetoo . I'm thinking yellow with carbon fiber hood and spoiler with tinted lights. How about you?

[schurchill39]

You guys should get a quick video of the "Drift kings" in action so we can see how they work.. Hopefully better then my X mod

[infected]

ok I'll try tomorrow, I sorta fucked up my body right now...
The 4 holes where u screw the chasis in sorta broke, and I took the stickers off and need to get some goo gone tomorrow morning at crappy tire. Then video time =)

[Ekliptix]

I am suprised at the control and smoothness those guys showed.

Those Canadian Tire cars look pimp!

funny you should mention that, we already have a video production of our cars...lol I did up a quick hack job of a bunch of clips and added some tunes to it as well. Have to host it somewhere though and it's 10megs. Or you could hit me up on msn?

[schurchill39]

Yea sure my addy is in my profile feel free to add me

[Moonracer]

OK gotta wait til I get home though

[bonnieclyde240]

I saw one of those drift rc's at a hobby shop, it was around 500 dollars for one. Damn pricey, but looks fun as hell.

[crazydave]

^^i want to see a video too, i may be interested!

[infected]

Sorry guys, spent most of the day fixing the body and preparing the chasis for wet conditions. I need to find someone to hold the camera while I run, proabably get a vid up tmr.

[DannyO]

God damn street racers.:D

Looks pretty sweet, my bros got one that I might have to steal from him now.

This reminded me of one of my buddies cars in england, he had a gas (I think) M3, it was abit bigger than these drift cars and he had sank about 1500 bux into it, the damn thing could do 80MPH, was pretty damn crazy.

[Moonracer]

Ok instead of trying to host a 10 meg vid I just uploaded a short clip, i'm sure you'll get the drift...lol
clicky for drift king (http://mountainrosekennel.tripod.com/Misc/mvi_driftvid.avi)

[schurchill39]

Those things are damn squeeky, you need to get a camera man so we can actualyl see the drift. That still looks sweet though

[infected]

Sorry for the delay, I'll try to get one up for those who want one ASAP. Sry sry :(

lol i have the same one and took off the exact same stickers too
think i'll go paint mine white now
me and my friend picked up both cars yesterday, fun shit for 80 bucks
went drifting at the tennis court today :burnout:

i was reading on a rc forum that u can put a more powerful motor in it too
the trinity p2k pro motor
although im not sure if it's safe, the guy at pms hobby said it might fry the electrical stuff because it'll draw too much current
