Recently we posted information about the Team Associated Lexus RC F, and today we see a video collaboration between Lexus and drift guru Drift44. It’s a nice video with serious drift precision shots. I’m sure the outtake video will probably follow shortly showing the dozens of attempts to get it all right, but it’s still cool. Check it out below.
Hey gang, Evol here, you may (or more likely not) know me from my YouTube channel “Evol Villain RC” or from the podcast I co-host “RC Car Cast”. “Blah blah” you say, I know, anyway what I’m getting at is my life pretty well revolves around RC. I have been in the hobby for decades and now I’ve teamed up [...]
Street Jam has released a new OTA-R31 variant for RC drifters, the OTA-R31RS! This is the version to get if you’re new to RC drift or looking for a high CS (countersteer) capable chassis. Full disclosure, I’ve run a highly modified OTA-R31 for the last 3 years. I love this chassis for it’s easily tuned CS, front mid-motor design, capable [...]
In the latest LV Home Insurance Commercial from our friends across the pond, a young boy has set up quite the RC drift track in hit house. Around furniture, the family dog, and even up onto the dinning room table. (I still can’t get away with that!) We love any time a company uses an RC vehicle in their commercials as [...]
For added realism HPI’s new Discount Tire Nitro RS4 Nissan S13 RTR uses a nitro power plant, giving you the sound and smell of a tire burning drift car. The Nissan sports a fully licensed body and Falken tires for a sharp scale look, and the Nitro Star 3.0 engine provides more than enough power for serious sideways action. Putting [...]
Just this past week HPI Racing released another Micro RS4, this time the black Mustang of Vaughn Gittin, Jr. This kit, like its Sprint2 brother, has both soft and drift tires in the box, and I cannot wait to test my hand in drifting! I hope to have some video up soon, but for now here are some nice unboxing images! More information on the Micro [...]
The crew over at TheToyz have a cool new Tuner Kit to take your drift car from bland to show worthy. Each kit includes rear view mirrors, an inner-cooler, chrome mufflers, brake discs, two different styles of windshield wipers, and all the necessary mounting hardware. While the tuner kit is aimed at the drifting crowd, several of the parts can [...]
We have mentioned the first 2 episodes before because there is always some sort of cool RC shots happening, from cars to quad’s and heli’s, and the Monster Energy Motorcycles vs Car Drift Battle 3 is more of the same goodness! Some intense large heli 3D action around the 8:50 minute mark also. There are some pretty interesting full scale [...]
The original HPI Micro RS4 was the car that set off the whole “18th scale/micro/mini” scene a decade ago and now it’s back! At the German Toy Fair HPI showed the latest version of the Micro RS4, the JTP Falken Tire Mustang edition. More details coming on this one soon, until then have a look at the HPI Racing Website, [...]
RCX isn’t just a bunch of booths with static displays of new products. There’s a ton of dynamic demonstrations going on all over the show. This is the drift track where some of the best RC drifters are putting on a great show. Better yet even, there’s a Try-Me section so all you noobs can give drifting a run.
If your into the RC Drifting scene, I’m guessing you aren’t even reading this anymore, but over on Tower or something pre-ordering this new HPI drift kit.

It is a well known fact around the office that I’m fighting a serious craving to get into RC drifting. HPI Racing is making it nearly impossible for me to hold off much longer. In April they showed off their new officially licensed E10 drift cars and now they have released a new and improved Sprint 2 [...]
We have been hearing rumors of some new Drift cars coming from HPI but have not seen anything official, or any press releases yet. A ‘friend’ in the industry just drop these two low res pictures in my email box. It’s good to be connected! He said it looks like these vehicles are going to be called the E10 [...]
