I used to drift my HPI Nitro RS4 MT....I reanember cause I hit a tree and broke the front dog bone. So it left one front wheel still going and that would hold it in a drift. I could also smoke the tires on the turns...left some sikk marks on the ground....sold it a while back, some regrets, but must save for real car.

This cars not mine... just a tite supra RC

Yes i have. i'm just saying i'd rather spend that money on setting up a real drifter. for the price of a nice nitro R/C car you could buy.... i dunno....an intake, shifter, and exhaust for a real drift car.

Yes they are extremly fun...just like them a lot better when i was a kid and my parents would pay for the parts on them....now that i'm married and on my own and i pay for my own toys....i'd rather spend my hard earned money on my drift project.

I know they're a blast...i'm just saying. whatever floats ya boat though is fine by me.

note: when i'm outa' school and open my own practice and making good cash and have an extra 300 to 500 bucks....i'll spend it on a cool "drift" nitro r/c car....just now my drifter is the money pit. LOL.

lol, thanks for the replies currently I own 1 nitro powered r/c, and 5 electric r/c's and an OS motor, it's been 2 year's since I last raced them all. I’m sure I spent over 2,000 bucks on my hobby. I'm looking to sell them, not because I need the money. Just hate to see them lying around in the closet; collecting dust while some kid out there can be enjoying them. Now that I think about it, I have no regret's in buying them. I had fun. My favorite two are my GT SKYLINE in yellow, and CASTROL GT SUPRA.
