Default 4WD Drifting??

So I'm new to this R/C drifting thing but I'm not as new to real life drifting and I thought RWD cars made the best real car drifters.

How come 4WD cars seem to be so common to R/C drifters?

Everyone keeps mentioning the TT-01D which Tamiya's website says is drift ready but its 4WD?

Do R/C cars cheat and just use super slippery tires in the back or do you guys disable/reduce the power to the front wheels?

Tamiya's website describes the process as slowing before a turn to transfer weight forward from the rear tires so they can lose traction, but when I drift my real car I turn the wheel a bit sharper then hit the gas to break the tires loose then turn the steering wheel back to control the car.

Just curious... I'm going to be buying my first R/C car soon and drifting is my goal so I just want to make sure I understand.

Thanks!
