I can only imagine drifting an RC car would be exponentially more difficult!

Those appear to be 4WD and gas powered. That's totally different that what I was expecting. If they were RWD that'd be absolutely staggering. In this case it's just pretty amazing.

I've seen airplane pilots with thousands upon thousands of flight hours struggle to keep even the most docile model airplane from succumbing to gravity's seduction. Most models are considerably more challenging to operate than a full-scale version. ...but how many totaled cars and nights in jail do you suppose those guys spent learning how to drift like that?

Count me in on that one. My model J3 Cub has been through some horrific crashes. What can I say? It's a lot tougher trying to control something that you're not sitting in
