Default RE: Why R/C drifting isn't the same as 1:1 drifting

anyone that says all wheel drive drifting is drifting is a moron record holder for longest drift is a wrx ALL WHEEL DRIVE. just thought id add that cuz it pisses me off when people think all wheel drive is cheating or something.... even in real car drifintg holding a drift is easier in AWD also!!!

everythign you said is correct... just adding my .02 for everyone reading this and to express myself

you can not compare abs/pvc rc drifting to to real car drifting. the ONLY THING SIMILAR is that your going side ways and you can control angle and speed with throttle. NON of the physics of real drifting apply at all.

people with powerfull enough rc's that are drifting on regular rc tires can be considered slightly closer to real drifintg... but still ABSOLUTELY none of the physics apply.

why people take the word "drifitng" so literal boggles my mind.

there are many ways to interperate the meaning and definition of the word DRIFTING and it really doesnt even matter. isnt the only thing that people care about is going sideways right??? so who cares!!!! your going through a turn sideways... thats all that matters. have fun!!!
