RC Drift Racing

RC drift cars are one of the fastest-growing areas of the RC car and truck hobby. In both full-scale racing and speed RC cars, “drifting” refers to the practice of oversteering when approaching a curve and intentionally causing the RC vehicle’s tires to lose their grip on the track. The car then “drifts” sideways until reaching the correct angle to resume the turn. Professional drivers configure their cars’ suspension, steering, and power to match each circuit so their RC cars drift effectively. Drifting with remote-control cars and trucks is just as fun and challenging. RC car and truck drivers who practice drifting gain expert understanding of counter-steering, weight shift, and braking under load. RC drift cars engineered to accommodate drifting are available from The Hobbies Shop in Ready-to-Run (RTR) and kit completion levels.

The RC drift kits provide a perfect opportunity for aspiring mechanics to learn how different components of the RC auto influence its drifting performance and to build custom RC drift cars.
