There really isn't a best drift car...but best drifter! put a high end car in the hands of a mediocre drifter and put a low end car in the hands of a seasoned drifter...hands down the experienced "trigger finger" will be the best...had nothing to do with the car!

It's true some chassis outshine others...like the Yokomo DRB which is made with hands down high quality parts...awesome balance...no hop ups needed...but you are paying for it...easy seven bills. Put this chassis in my hands and put me up against some of my teammates with a TT01 and I still will get served! I'm no slouch but some guys could drift a brick perfectly!

Also you need to consider what you call "drifting" really is? fast paced parking lot...taking huge sweeps all by yourself? or slower paced technical drifting on polished concrete surface layout with a bunch of other cars going door to door with you?

The parking lot stuff is fun...no doubt about it...but staying controlled in a lane going sideways with another car or two within inches of you...well that's drifting in my book!

On nitro vs electric...once again...depends what you are aiming to do. You can never control the raw power of a nitro on a controlled layout with tight turns and other cars on it...that's why you never see one on those videos with those nice tracks with all the props like guard rails, garages, hills and so forth. But go gymkhana with it in a huge asphalt layout...nitro is the choice for big thrills.

When it comes to RC drifting to real world 1:1 drifting...the physics are totally different...we wish we could slide and switchback the 1:1 car on a dime like the RC car...that would be a hell of a ride!
