They look great. I tried driving one last week, electric version and basically I suck at drifting. I dont think I have the patience for it. Nice to see people that are good at it though.

Next week we will have some more shots. People are really getting into it and made up some new bodies. Were no pro's either but fun as heck. We set up a track with blinds, (from a sliding glass door) so this way if you go off course, you just slide over it.

Hard rubber for nitro, plastic for electric, our rubber/plastic combo for electric.


Cool collection,

I have 4 cars that i dedicate for drift only all redcats.

One of them with the redcat brushless setup, the other with a 19t motor and upgrade esc, and one bone stock car, the other for parts etc backup.

The redcats are really good out the box at drifting just need to lock the diff and she goes sideways . There made pretty strong, and you hardly bang stuff as hard drifting compared to road racing.
I dont have a nitro drift car yet, but i would like to get into drifting those as well very soon must be awesome.

I want some drift tires that throw up smoke, that would be very cool haha.

we only drift nitro's and use abs. Its a slower drift . With the hard rubber tires its a much faster pace..

You could remove the front dogbone, but the car would only be RWD and only one tire would fire when drifting in the rear, thats why you lock it so both tires, can spin at the same time.


I personaly like to lock the rear and leave the front open diff, so that the rear will try to kick out and the front will compensate
