Most of the people who are interested in remote control drift cars think about the best car only when they decide to buy it. Car drifting is very popular in Japan. The focus is now on the remote control drift cars. Electric car is better for drifting purposes than nitro models. This is because of the throttle control that happens during drift in electric cars. Whereas the nitro cars will burn the clutch and overheat the car engine when drifting is done.

Tamiya TL – 01

Tamiya TL – 01 is the most popular choice among the remote control drift cars. It is considered to be the best drift car. It is a shaft drive remote control car. This type is better than the belt drive car.The design of the belt leads to backlash in the belt drive cars. The 4 WD is the best drift car which is easy to control. It can also run over the obstacles.

The motors used in drift cars require high torque. The Tamiya TL – 01 uses the mabuchi 540 which is a standard motor. It also provides good acceleration to achieve speeds above top speed. Next consideration is about the drift tires. The Talmiya uses drift tires which are made up of PVC pipes. These tires are 10 feet long and 2 inches in diameter.

This car was a huge success worldwide and most of the people are crazy to buy the Tamiya TL – 01 car. There was a huge turn over in the Ford Company when the Tamiya TL – 01 car was manufactured.
