Drifting

I think Andrew has a RC Mk5 that is RWD???

It's not so much whether the chassis is a rwd that matters, most RC drifters actually use 4wd chassis. The bodies are just a lexan cover which you can mount on basically any chassis, i.e. you can mount just about any body, no matter what its final drive location, body shape etc, on any chassis. Most RC drifters prefer to use car bodies that are modeled on real life rwd cars for authenticity, hence most are Japanese; Skylines, Chasers, Silvias, RX7s etc. I can't ever recall seeing any VW being involved in a drift event, not that I'm saying it's never happened but it certainly wouldn't be common given that VW haven't made a rwd for how long?

Maris,
All of these guys have VW shells on their drifting RC cars - don't you guys
Don't be a topic killer or get an admin to move it to the off-topic forum if you really have that much of a problem.

I'm keen on this - not that being 100km away from most of you helps...(i live on the central coast) now that I've got a steady cash flow I think I might buy my mates and head over to the old shopping centre rooftop. It's great fun for all types of RCs... especially tha driftorz!!!! lol

I'm in the midst of getting a new one together, just waiting on the chassis. Going for a brushless motor setup this time so will have the super fast option also
