Countersteering in RC drifting refers to over driving the rear wheels so the car is fighting to stay straight no matter is the front wheels are turned or not.
It tends to look more realistic as it's comparable to having more power at the rear wheels than the front.
This is a good example

These are 2 HB TC-D's running the same except the car in front has been setup to countersteer.
You can see that it carries more angle, is sideways more often and is slightly slower than the non countersteer car.
It's also more difficult to control and not really for beginners.

first i apologize for bumping this
but there isnt really that much of a difference if youre driving both styles correctly.
true that you can pretty much only drive sideways in a counter steer chassis. but asfar as the speed and angle comment, not true at all.
its definitely not something for beginners though
