    Default RC drift

    Just curious if anyone here has caught on to this trend yet. I do it all the time but its only my bro, my cuzin, n me. My cuzin uses one of my cars too. We just want a ton people Like Cali and Fla have doin it. FYI this is aminly a 1/10 scale electric car thing. Nitro's are pimp but way to fast for the usual track setup

    My RC car is awd....depending on the surface, I can do fairly well, but nothing like the "real" drift RC cars...

    Those "real rc drift cars" are awd. I got maybe 400 in my SSG with a brushless system on it. Used cars are the way to go. The new yokomo DP's are 180-200 for the kit. Anyone interested in getting together for a meeting? We been going to the mayfield dairy parking lot on sundays or if wherever yama works would let us play maybe

    Fry's is at gwinnett place, that parking lot is huge but Im sure it'd have to be really late like when the store is closed right? That would be so pimp to drift up there though, isnt there a small closed parking lot in front of Fry's where a shoneys used to be? Yea Mayfield is in Braselton off the chateau elan exit. If its not raining maybe we can rock it this weekend

    Yama works at Fry's, I want to have a weekly drift there, lets make it happen this spring. Driftk1d we can rock it at mayfield whenever if you live in braselton. I work at Elan which is next to mayfield. Theres also a nice parking lot at homebanc at the MOG that we have gone to as well. I gotta order some more cones asap. Nitros are great, but messy and expensive, I have a 4tec and a NTC3 that I never even use anymore.

    Heres some video's cuz they rock; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4_KwRyvF90

    And theres the originators at sgdrifters.com too
