HPI Mazda RX-7 RC Drift Car

HPI Mazda RX-7 Drift Car – Electric RC Drift Cars are lighter in weight and easier to drive making them ideal for drift car competition. With their tough engines and throttle control these sliding devils avoids burning out the clutch and engine overheating common with Nitro cars used for drifting.

RC cars with stock motors don’t have what it takes for drifting. Drifting requires the ability to get rear tires to slide more than front tires which means that you must power much faster through corners than stock cars can handle. RC electric drift cars will give you consistent torque and quicker throttle response which and make them a better choice. With an electric motor you can efficiently produce instant torque, nitro engines, require time for the engine to rev up and for the clutch to engage. High capacity compact batteries are used to drive a brushed or brushless motor through an electronic speed control. A shaft drive will give you better throttle response when compare to belt drives however, belt drives are often successful. If you are just starting out with drifting, I recommend the shaft drive and a 4WD vehicle for better control.

One of the all time favorite RC electric drift cars is the  HPI Mazda RX-7 Drift Car 1/10 scale car.  Its flexibility with adjustments and customization features and availability of parts to personalise is fantastic. Great for beginners and (RTR) ready to run out of the box, the HPI Mazda RX-7 Drift Car is a great looking drift car.
