All your questions about RC drifting should be answered here. Look around, find what chassis you use and learn the best setup for your car.

Many people new to RCs wonder what chassis they should be using. Is there a special rc drift chassis? How much does it cost? Can I drift a rear wheel drive chassis? All someone really needs to get started is ANY 4 wheel drive touring car chassis. Rear wheel drive chassis need not apply. You can be stubborn and insist that since in 1:1 scale drift cars are RWD then 1:10 RWD cars should also drift. But this will get you nowhere no matter what kind of setup you do. Trust me. Don't waste your time.
You can spend anywhere from $79 to $499 for a 4WD chassis only. The choice is really yours. Many people can drift fine with a less expensive chassis. Others, such as myself, feel the need of having a better chassis thinking it gives me them an advantage. But for the most part it really doesn't. The one who knows their chassis in and out, how it drifts, and maintains their equiptment well is the one who will be winning rc drift competitions.
There are companies now that make "Drift Specific" chassis such as the Sprint2 from HPI, MR4TC Drift Package from Yokomo, TT-01 Drift from Tamiya, a recently released drift car from Losi. But in reality, these chassis are based on already existing 1:10 Scale RC Touring Chassis and very little has been done to make them Drift Spec. Check out the section to the left for link to the chassis FAQs and reviews.
