Is it 4wd? like sircc says see if you can lock the diffs maybe not on a nikko ? If not try electrical tape over the tyres that always works a treat

Another thing is, slicks have the most grip of any tires on dry surfaces, try the electrical tape over the tires and see if that helps. Drifters use a very hard rubber rear tire.

If you are trying to drift on laminate, you need something that is soft and slick. Foams might work for a little while, but once they get warmed up, they will grip. I don't know of anything else you can try to make a car drift on laminate. If you want something that's not too expensive, yet you can still repair and upgrade, I'd check into Tamiya products. I don't know if they have a drifter, but it can't hurt to look.
EDIT- Thought of something else you could try. Wrap some sort of material around the tires, like an old sock. You might be able to use a baby sock. This would eliminate any grip you have on a laminate floor.

do a google or ebay search for TT-01 D. "D" stands for drift and it's a Tamiya product. It's not a great platform, but it's good for the price, and you can tune and upgrade to your liking.
