You don't really need a DRIFT car, you can set up any car to drift, but if you don't already have a rc car... HPI is a good brand.

I believe even the drift rc cars are 4 wheel drive. HPI and Tamaiya are 2 of the best companies for on road cars. I'm really looking forward to HPI's new class called true cup racer, specifically the Datsun 510 version. I love 510's!!
