Remote controlled cars for drift
The drift, which can be translated as “slippage”, is first and foremost a discipline of sport automobile. Adapted to model making, she gave birth to R.C. drift, practiced with remote controlled cars.
For amateurs, it’s about performing the most beautiful tricks with their radio controlled car. They rush on a car circuit with sinuous turns, offering infinite possibilities of trajectories.
Model shop specialized, the online store of RC Team selected the best electric RC cars to indulge in skidding. RC car drift in kit or rtr : it’s up to you to choose according to your mechanical expertise! The biggest brands of R.C. drift are gathered here: Tamiya, Yokomo, Max Speed Technology, HPI Racing, FTX, 3 Racing…
The RC drift : a passion for model making
The universe of model making is particularly diverse. Some people seek the extreme sensations of speed. Others prefer the challenges of crossing off-road terrain. Passionate about R.C. drift focus on mastery of trajectories and piloting skill.
On the engine side, these radio controlled cars are mainly electric. They are developed on specific chassis, designed to promote skidding and control. Finally, essential element: the tires have minimal adhesion in drift. However, you must take care to adapt the plastic of your tires to the racing surface: tar, concrete, tiles, etc.
The qualities required to lead a remote control car drift are skill… and patience! You actually have to practice for a long time behind the wheel of your remote control car to achieve the most beautiful figures.
Indeed, during meetings and championships of R.C. drift, the selection criterion is not speed. The jurors focus on aesthetics, control of trajectories and slip angle.
Choosing your remote-controlled car
Ready to take on controlled drifts? To achieve this, choose a remote control car mounted on a typical chassis drift. These chassis are mainly 4 wheel drive. Rear-wheel drive transmissions are also available, but much more difficult to control.
Among the essential models of the drift, we find the TT-02 chassis Tamiya on a scale of 1/10. Heir to the famous Tamiya TT-01, this is available as a kit to assemble. Easy to maintain, it can be dressed with bodywork with worked finishes. This is the opportunity to present your favorite car model on the car circuit: Nissan GT-R, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra…
Another big name in model making, the Yokomo YD-2 is a high-end chassis for RC drift. Delivered in kit, without electronics, this chassis with a rear transmission (propulsion) offers astonishing acceleration. Everyone is free to customize to stand out during a meeting. drift !
