    So its getting hotter, and school will be out soon. Which means one of my fav spots to drift at is allen dale elementary.  They have a super smooth covered concrete patio, that makes perfect for technical tandom drifting. So im dusting off the Pro D getting her ready, and want to rally up a group this year. This year I want to shoot more videos I have alot more track stuff for more scale look. Alot of have trailers now and would like to incorporate our trucks and trailers droping off our drifters for a quick session. Im still barking up adams tree to let us have a small section of the concrete slap for drifting. So please post if your wanting to get sidways soon... looking foward to go all out this summer with every rig. So dont be discouraged. ..

    Also bigfoot if u deciede to get one nitrorcx.com has some good beginner drifters for about 100 bucks rtr there only brushed but driftings not about speed its about how good you control your drift! They work really well for a beginner and very inexpensive! They do drift very well for the price!!

    I know right. Mostly recycled. Im prob gonna use styrene for the engine bay and block but been saving misc. crap to add the detail. Just neeed to decide on a body so I can model the correct motor/ turbo/ other components.

    I'd be careful. There's nothing about the car no specs. Their basing the sell off the body. And if its a custom body yourlooking for , u should try find omi models. This guys goes nutz with being percise and scale.

    If you are going to get a new drift car you should get one that can do double duty as a touring car on-road racer this summer.

    The only real difference is tires and camber set up. Unless u go belt driven, then you'll be messing with tensioners.  That was one thing I loved about going brushless. Fast touring. And controlled drifting.

    Some of those dedicated drift cars like the front biased motors and perpendicular battery layouts are now well suited to touring car racing.
