RC Drift Bible


Welcome to the RE-Xtreme RC Drift Bible.

In an attempt to answer many of the regular questions I get asked, I'll pass on some knowledge, add something to think about as well as some tutorials and examples.

While Drift has evolved as well over the years. some articles need to be added to. or revisited. 
But at the time of writing all were pretty accurate.   

The following categories are covered.

What is Drift? Body Building tutorials, Chassis Options and Performance, Driving style.

As everyone has a different idea of RC drift style, Locations to drive, technology and focus, I sometimes pose questions rather than provide absolute answers.
