A guy from another forum i'm on is responsible for the Mischeif and Destroy movie series and they modeled one or more of those tyco r/cs after the movie series..

But those TYCO r/cs can't do shit like that.

Lookit the movie credits all of those r/cs are extremely high end cars.. yer lookin at $300+ for just the kit with no motor or electronics to control it... I'm sure you can buy a ready to run car for $400 and dial it in todo the same tricks..

definately 4 wheel drive..

my modded XMod can drift very easily...

Traxxas is extremely low end but im sure with the right tires and motor you can do the same tricks with a 4 wheel drive one.

You don't just "get" one of them. Trust me on this one as I've run on-road, off road, track and oval cars from most of the names out there (associated, traxxas, hpi, ofna, kyosho and losi just to name a few). The key to an RC drifter is you are going to want it to be electric, as nitro has an actual powerband and you cannot sustain a fluid increase in throttle to control the angle. You'll want to have ABS or PVC tires (abs is better, has more grip), hard springs in the rear and soft in the front. 4WD touring cars are best, my electric TC3 was set up for drift until I sold it a few months ago. Your motor should be neutral on the turns, as lower turns won't allow you to apply quick bursts of throttle like you need to alter your angle, and higher turn motors are usually shitty. Beyond that, it just takes forever to get it done properly, and even longer to master the technique.
