Electric RC cars prove better than Nitro radio controlled cars for drifting. It is much easier to handle the throttle of an electric car while drifting. And due to its immense power and fuel oriented technology, nitro RC cars can burn the clutch and heat up the engines if used for drifting. Drifting using belt drive cars is easy and safe. However, if you are a novice and would like to learn the nuances of drifting then shaft drive cars are best drifters as it gives good throttle response.
Changing and modifying the tires can turn your RC touring cars to into RC drift cars. In most cases, RC drift car tires are made out of Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) pipes.
