[MarcoGTS]

yep for the serious and i mean SERIOUS so.cal 6gc guys that have some free time, i was thinking of making a 6gc.net RC drift club just for fun and hang out and have little RC drift sessions at my house (well at a park that is right next to my house). We can set up a track there. There is a good place where i know that we can set the track in the parking lot, because no cars park there! IF you havent bought an RC Drift Car i know a place where they sell a basic starter kit for a very good price and they only live 5 minutes away from my house! like i said, we will all schedule day when people are less busy with work and such because the more RC drift cars the better! and i think we should hold a session like once a month. And then when we think were good we can go as a team to the real competetions in San Gabriel, CA where we can win prizes like RC drift car upgrades to NEW RC Drift Cars! For more inside look on RC drifting check it out on youtube and type in RC drifting.......THANKS! For Questions and more info just PM me!~Marco

One Rule:
all RC Drift Cars at least have to be 1/10th scale (normal RC size) none smaller than 1/10th scale

trust me after watching my roommates drift them babies there are 2 conclusions.
#1 Nitro cars are more realistic but less economical and more mechanical problems. They are also about 2-3 times as fast. We clocked my buddies toyota supra rc at 88 mph and he said that if he spent another 200 bucks on it it would probably be just under 100.

#2 Electric is certainly more practical and easier to use, however you need like 20 battery packs to last you an evening worth of drifting. And Im talking about 5 hours or so of drifting. Also top speeds for these is under 45 mph with average of about 20.

Either way seeing those cars drift is a sight to see. They are (when well done) are exact replicas of their real life counterparts.
