Nitro cars are a lot more difficult to drift, they're also far fewer competitions for drifting with Nitro.


By far the most popular RC drifting cars are battery powered.



Pretty much any 1/10th scale RC touring car chassis can be used for drifting, the 2 i mentioned earlier are top of the line touring car chassis's that would make excellent drifters.

Buying a new ready to run (RTR) RC car may seem like a easy alternative.
Thing is though RC cars will break, they'll also require maintenance and cleaning, a lot of this requires stripping the car down.

So buying a car in a kit or used form will mean that because you've assembled the car yourself you'll have a good idea of what goes where.
