Sweet.

I want to get into RC hobby. Don't know where to start though. Plus, it's kinda pricey.

R..
any rc car can drift, you just need drift tires or black tape in the rear tires.

i usually see people using cut up film holders or even better, PVC. You can PVC in so many different sizes, im sure theres a few out there to fit the rims perfectly. Or you could probably just melt together something of your own if you wanted to be really ghetto about it.

Video works.. Just Right click and save as... Also for your RCs.. When drifting if using tape start from the outside (lip area) then go to the inside then back to the outside. Put the tape on in the direction of the car(which way it rolls)... Also I'd rather use PVC piping just make sure the ID(inner diameter) fits the tire.. ABS plastic does work better than PVC though...

Actually I'd insert the tape on the front too. Since most on road cars have solid front axles without differentials (POSI style)

I used electrical tape and i must say it came out really nicely. I let the tires spin to get them hot. After 10 minutes of trying my best to heat up the tires the electrical tape molded to the tire nicely. Electrical tape worked wonders and the cars drifting like crazy. Thanks guys.

Not quite true... Nitro R/C's are too powerful and the weight transfer is terrible. I tried on mine and it didnt' work... You'll spin the tires but have no control. Just my input

Not really. A good clutch that engages good with the slipper and the gear differentials with pretty pretty light or medium weight. Soft suspension will make any nitro car drift well and the most important rule= NO LEAD FINGERS
