What Parts Do You Need for an RC Drift Car?

RC drift cars are becoming increasingly popular, as they offer a great way to enjoy the thrill of drifting without having to leave the comfort of your own home. But what parts do you need for an RC drift car?

The first thing you need is an RC car chassis. You can find drift-specific chassis or a regular touring car chassis.

Most RC drift car setups will use a 4WD touring car that has been converted to rear wheel drive only. The next thing you will need is an electric motor and speed controller, which provide the power for the vehicle. You will also need a battery, steering servo, suspension components, wheels and tires.

In addition to these essential components, there are also some optional parts that can be added for better performance and better drifting capabilities. These include sway bars, camber links, traction control systems and aftermarket body kits. It’s also important to choose the right type of tires for your setup; soft compound tires are usually recommended for drifting due to their superior grip when cornering at speed.

Conclusion: An RC drift car is composed of many different components including an RC chassis, electric motor and speed controller, battery, steering servo, suspension components, wheels and tires as well as optional parts such as sway bars and camber links for improved performance. The type of tires chosen for your setup can have a big impact on its overall handling characteristics; soft compound tires are generally recommended for drifting due to their superior grip when cornering at speed.
