if you are looking to get into drifting you should start with electric, then when you have mastered it go to nitro.[link]http://sirclegion.com[/link]

nitro is alot different than electric drifting. same concept with a awd car, but working with a heavier car and alot of power, gets tricky. like said above, start with electric. alot easier and affordable. i drift both and my gas car is a ntc3. i have drifted the rs4 3 drift and it does well also.

I agree with the electric comments above. However, if you insist on nitro drifting, the HPI RS4 Drift RTR is a great car. It also has one hell of an engine that comes with it. With some sticky tires and a little gearing (maybe a 2 speed), this car will smoke people!!! Mine's the blue one.
