my RC Nitro Truck is Rear Wheel Drive, which works out well, because theres less parts to break when you jump the thing.
i do have a Tamiya TL-01 which is electric 4wd, which i chucked PVC wheels on and i use that for drift.
its near impossible to drift a RWD RC Car, with 4wd, all you have to do is either stick electricians tape on the wheels, or bung some PVC pipe on a set of old rims.
quite good fun.
off road trucks are still more fun though

RC Motors come in various sizes.
.12
.15
.21
.25
obviously the higher you go, the more power.
the OS .15 CV-R has approximately 1 horse power, and while that doesnt seem much, in a truck like mine, which doesnt weigh much, means not being careful with the throttle can lead to wheelies becoming a problem

obviously i gave a revised list because obviously no ones THAT interested, and .28 is the biggest i know of on a car, anything bigger is boat/plane
the T-Maxx, Monster GT, Savage etc. obviously have bigger motors because they're monster trucks, not to mention the Savage's three speed tranny and the T-Maxx's reverse function.
but thats getting into a little too much depth.

hmmmm so the recipe for RC car drifting is:
1x 4wd rc car, preferable nitro
4x pvc pipe for covering the wheel (has to fit)
1x big ass shiny concrete pavement or fine asphalt..
must try...

RC drifting doesnt need special PVC bits or anything, I used to drift my old Kyosho Nitro car about 10 years ago, only there was no such thing as drift, so we just called it "tarmac rally driving". Car had a .15 with a 2 speed, which gave it the extra torque to get things spinning, then it would change up so things wouldnt spin out of controll. Worked best on concrete, but was just as possible on tar with the right compound tires
(jeesh i must've been a geek back then.......Mabey i still am, just at a bigger scale )

easiest way to make a rc car slide out is to put electrical tape on the tyres. it works a treat

i got into this, its dam fun, i just jammed PVC pipe on my tires so after a bit of drifting they fall off. its fun when in 2 wheels drive though esp when you run real tires on the front you just spin out everywhere. but yeah my car is a bit crap and old, a nitro one would be hell fun.
