Default RE: Front Wheel Drive Drifting?

Every now and again a fwd civic kid will come try to drift with us, they put serving trays from fast food places under the rear tires and lock the handbrake, but its all nonsense, you can't control the drift with the throttle, so you really have no control. But hey, if you only have a fwd car, I guess its better than drag racing your honda (equally lame).

As for r/c fwd drifting, it seems like it would be even harder than 1:1 drifting fwd. But if you want to give it a try, please do, I'd be curious to see it.

Hmm, a fwd r/c car could be made into a rwd, front engine (FR) r/c, THAT might be a good candidate for rwd drifting (better weight balance, a lot less like trying to drift an MR2 or porsche, which is what drifting an rc10 is like)
