Default Cant drift on a RWD?

Yes you can! Everybody told me that it is impossible to drift on a car with RWD. Today I got my thunder tiger Ts-2n wich has RWD and it was actually very easy to drift.
I`m still breaking in the engine so I know it has moe power to spare, but I really got surprised when I managed to drift nicely with it.
Anybody else who has sucses drifting a RWD?

Like magnat says try it on electric its a lot harder not impossible but very very hard as awd gives the front wheels forward momentuem to drift easier.</p>

I myself tried with a fair few differant Car's and such - Best at rwd drifting was possibly my 1/10th nitro truck ( Cen FF MT2 ) But the front dog bone's taken out . Far from impossible but like Previously stated .. Hell of alot trickier than drifting 4wd - but still possible , I had very little succses trying to drift my Tt-01 rwd , 6.5t Losi Excelorin on a highly hopped up chasis.

Hehe well I believe you guys! Today a friend of mine got his new drift car.. He mounted a brushless motor with li po battery.  It is rwd and it was impossible! I could not get it do drift at all. Lucky me, my LHS has a 4wd conversion kit for my nitro car. Think I`ll buy that. It drifts ok as a RWD but I wanna try it with 4WD.  But one question here... wont it hurt the engine when you are drifting with a nitro car? The tires are just spinning and that results in very little resistance for the engine?
