RC Drifting or Remote Control drifting is a new concept altogether. This was born in Japan, the mother land for all kinds of funky electronic stuff that you can think of. Now to tell you briefly about what this RC Drifting works, I would say imagine a racing track, with a whole bunch of enthusiasts, and some great looking cars in the track. Please mark the word cars. Buy this word am referring not to the racing cars that you can’t even think of buying like a Ferrari, Porsche or a Renault. Rather these are miniature cars with remote controls. They look just like the racing cars. And you would have to be part of a real event to see them perform.

Once the race has started then the scoring depends on more things that you can probably think of. The first thing is that the scoring parameters may differ according to the local tracks but mostly the common parameters that are used are as follows, The judges would be scoring you on a one to ten point system. And the parameters primarily would consist of angle of attack, smoothness of your lines, crowd reaction and of course speed, would be an important factor. And surprisingly the looks of your car could also be one of the parameters that you would be pointed upon. Then the way it goes as say for example if there are total twenty people competing against one another then all of then compete against one another till there are ten left (only the toppers of course). After that they would look for the top five and so on.

To elaborate on the maneuvers I would say:

Angle – This may be considered as the most important aspect in RC Drifting. When the corner is approached, then the opposite should be fully locked while having moved slightly away from the corner. Remember you need to be steady on the gas. This move is advanced and perfection is likely to come with practice.

While you are in practice before you really get into a real RC Drifting event, you can practice the digit eight with some track dots placed on the ground. This would help you understand better how your RC Drifting car can be maneuvered easily from the right to the left or otherwise. Please ensure the distance should not be more than five o six feet. As you get doing better with your maneuvers start doing this eight formations more than once continuously.
