    That's so cool!

    I run a 1:10 RC drift car (because real drifting is lots of money )











    And I did start racing this, but the drifting is a lot more fun.

    If I had one of them I'd smash it to bits the first time I used it!

    It is pretty hard to learn. The way you set them up is a bit strange... you find the tyres that give the least traction for the surface. Then dial in grip where you need it. They slide around all over the place at first.
    It's more adjustable than my real life cars. It's crazy!

    Really, that's crazy. My best mate races RC cars (child!) and he's amazingly good at it. I've had a little dabble with his car but I think i might be banned now! I'd kind of like a RC GTT if only to have on display and fiddle with!

    I'm trying to convince the wife that I need the red phase 2 model but apparantly it's "just a toy"

    Currently in the collection are the 1:18 'norev' phase 1 in pearl and the silver phase 2 rally car which I believe was the Alain oreielle

    No pics as they're up in the loft, out of the way of my 2 year old boy
