Dan, drift cars are all about body and looks. I had a project to turn one of my MCDs into a drifter, but got side tracked with other things, I may get back to it eventually. 4wd is much better than rwd for drifting, much more controllable. It was going to be a police viper. You can see it in this video, running on race tires, not even worn down and it still wanted to drift. lol.
