bah…  
basiclly u just get ne 1/10 touring RC from ne RC model maker, and slap on a set of “drift tires” or if u a cheap and does handy work, PCV pipes on RC rims work well too  
those kits from yokomo are too $$$ and there ain’t too much part from yokomo availible in T.O…  
but if u really want, i highly recommand on getting a yokomo drift series body… imo they are teh most realitic(?) body made in the market(but cost alot, avg 1/10 body cost ~$30 in T.O. and the yokomo ones cost like $70+)

and ne of u guys wanna start out cheap  
i would suggest the TT-01 Drift spec from tamiya  
[http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58349](http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58349)

as for places to get them…  
top of my head(places that i went to b4)  
there are 2 in pmall, one called [ZZhobby](http://www.zzhobby.com/) in markham(Commerce Gate)  
and [advance hobby](http://www.advancehobbies.com/) at midland and shepard(but they are $$$)  
and [AJ hobby](http://www.ajhobby.com/) around hwy7 and kennedy

and heres my TL-01(my tank car) that i just drifts/basher EP…  
along w/ my(used to) hpi nitro

yeah, i spent tonnes of money on rcs back in the day. i still have my modded tamiya tg10. personally i like the nitro rcs but battery powered so much better for drifting. and the pcv is the way to go lol when i first wanted to try and drift mine tires werent really available. pcv works but has to go over old tires and the one from central vacum systems works well

That camera is insane, the video is soooo smooth!

that rc heli is CRAZY!!  
but ya rc drift cars would be fun too. and probably alot easier to control.  
ive been wanting a rc car for awhile now but would only have enough money for a cheap crappy one, so ive been holding it off.
