Much better drifting that electrics IMO. I think drifting is drifting when performing high-speed slides. I drifted a nitro, and found it more fun than electric. This is just my opinion, some may thing otherwise. But I will tell you this - there is no such thing as 'none' when it comes to the overall best nitro drifting car.. If nitros can drift nicely, there is obviously a 'best' one that drifts overall the best vs all the other nitros..
