R/C cars a re a great hobby. I myself have about 5 cars, a helicopter, and a Miss Budweiser hydroplane that runs off of a chain saw motor.
I have never run any of the R/C drift cars. I have spent my time in the touring cars.

You know if you are not sure about getting in to it. Myabe you should buy an a Tamiya Mini Cooper, and see if you get the bug to play with R/C cars. It will not break the bank, and they are almost indestructible. Loud transmissions. Put amod motor in there and give er. Hilarious stuff. I will take some pics of some of the stuff I have. I have been thinking of selling some of it. The older stuff anyway.
I did a lot of racing in R/C. Scott Ernst is one of my great friends. He is the guy you will see announcing almost every major race across the globe. ( Tamiya races included. ) He is the one that helped me get started in R/C. He and his wife Nancy run S&N's Trackside. Great people.
I actually won the 1999 Novak race. LOL d**n that's a long time ago. But I just wanted to say that I won that somewhere. I received the trophy from Bob Novak himself.
