Default Drift RC Cars

One of my Brothers asked for one for Christmas. I guess they make remote controlled drift cars. Can anyone recomend a web-site or store where they sell these? I guess they run up to $250 for the good ones. HELP

Most RC cars can drift. You jsut need the correct set up. Try finding a nearby hobby shop and get them to build and tune it for you.

You can make any crappy r/c car drift, just wrap the rear tires in scotch tape.

like someone already said
the most rc cars can drift with
proper modification/ set- ups,
but you can buy ones that's sold as "drift kit" also.

I have a huge Batman Begins Tumbler. I definitely wrapped tape around the rear wheels. It drifts like no other!

The real drift ones have gyroscopic sensors to maintain balance.
