That'll be my retirement job one day, buy some land and make a drifting track, offroad track and racetrack for RC.
A lot safer and cheaper.

awesome vid, those are great, I love r/c. too bad I cant afford one in addition to my car and college (hell, I can hardly afford just college and not really even my car the R/C would just put me over the edge)

about halfway down the front page you will see the cars. The ones in that video were made from actual 1/10 scale sedans. The yokomo kit is made just for drifting. If you notice, they have plastic rings to put on the tires to get the drifting action unlike the one in the video that they use the PVC around the old rims.
Ill be getting one

oh one more thing before i purchase the kit, if anyone has answers to these questions :
1. Can I still use my 3-channel radio controller? there is nothing special about the setup is there for the controller, just throttle and steering right? the kit is setup for drift which makes it different from the regular rc's? I dont understand japanese so i couldnt understand what they were saying lol..
2. Do you think the kit comes with a receiver or servo or will i need to buy them (i think i do, since it says kit no include electronics)
thanks
Daniel

Yeah i'm going to look around my house for some pvc and try in on my car to see if it'll work, It's only rwd unlike the 4wd ones they had in the clip. so it might be alittle hard to control.
