You should start one with cones on a empty parking lot

what motor set up are you running? ^^^ i see a novak cyclone esc... looks like my previous set up... i was running a team orion revo w/ a novak racer esc... i tried drifting with this at the hobbie shop but it was a disaster... no reverse, embarrassing... failed....



i noe that Sheldons hobbies in san jose has a nice drift track but its a bit too far for me....
not planning on drifting in a parking lot unless it has a smooth surface... im thinking more of a basket ball court or tennis court....

where would the track be in sf?

They run anywhere from $100 used, to $300 READY TO DRIFT new OR $1000 CUSTOM BUILT..

I personally have invested close to $1000 on my rc, but i do enjoy every single cent of it..
