Is there any hard-standing accessible during the day on Saturday where some like-minded fellows could run a few r/c cars around. Paddock area? Bottom of the hill?

Whats the best r/c drift car to get? I've had loads of 1/10 nitro and electric cars and buggies but I've always fancied a drift car.

I can see if I can borrow some yellow fencing rope from the DFV show stash tomorrow Dan, I'll let you know on FB if we can find it.

You don't need a fancy car for drifting, as long as it's 4wd and electric, & you stick drift tyres on it, and lock the diffs, it'll slide! My Tamiya TT01 is pretty entry level, there's a drift spec version available as well. Start looking through www.drccentral.com/forums/ |

I've had loads of 1/10 nitro and electric cars and buggies but I've always fancied a drift car. 4wd electric 1/10 scale is what most use, with solid plastic tyres. I have a very old Tamiya TL-01 chassis, its probably the most entry level you can use for drifting and there are much better (and of course expensive) chassis available, however with a locked rear diff, one-way front diff, and increased gearing/higher power motor, its drifts pretty well. |

Cheers for the advice, I used to race 1/10th scale electric touring cars, so by the sounds of it, it should be pretty easy to convert one of those.

Not going, unfortunately. However, the TT01 Tamiya chassis is GR8 4 driftin'. Not too expensive either. Here's mine with a Skyline shell fitted. It used to wear an E30 shell, but couldn't resist the J option:   |
