For those not signed up on image station, it's a replica of Inamura's FD3S.
i like those. How much does it cost to get one set up like that?
these arent regular rc cars are they? cause my friend has one and it seems wayyy too fast and grippy to do that. Those cars looked like they were going pretty slow and had no traction. His get's up to 60mph in about 2 seconds.

300 bucks at the cheapest...easily.
While those guys looked pretty good doing it, there was no counter steering which looks a little weird.
Racing RC is about as much fun as driving at the track. If they didn't have races only once a month I think I'd be into RC more than I was.
umm...there was countersteering. wacth closer...one guy in the beginning did feint.
erik..can you point me where to buy one of these drifter rc's and if you know, tell me the difference between these and the regular rc cars.

You can easily get a 4wd ready to run electric car for around $200. There is no real difference tween a regular 4wd "touring car" and a drift car it is only the tyres. Of course adjusting the suspension helps too. Yokomo drift kits have grooved tyres and plastic inserts so the they slide more than grip. A cheap way to go is pick yer favorite rim and use PVC or ABS pipe for the tyers. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/upfiles/62916/Yw67009.jpg...blingin!

PVC and electrical tape work well if you have a car already.
Don't use a gas car cause you'll burn up your clutch and diffs in no time.
Dood I drift my RC's..Lol It's the closest thing to drifting as I can get since I'm still too young..lol Can someone tell me how to make my front camber thingys point in for my micro rs4? Cause when I try it..they just pop back out
