Electric drifting is the way to go, less noise, less mess on your body and the floor around you and kid safe.

Electric is definitely more easy and practical, but nitro cars are still very fun. If you already have a nitro car, go ahead and do it. But if you need to start from scratch, electric would be the ideal route to take.
