So what do we do when we arn’t driving our life size cars? We drift RC cars. We use to have quite a few big RC nights where all the team / friends would get together and battle it out all night. We dont do it as much now days but every now and then we will pull them out for a quick spin around Hoshino’s track at his workshop.

My personal car, I’m not huge on looks but its got a tuned ECU, aftermarket engine, locked front and rear diffs, plastic / rubber mix tires for higher speed drifting and bad ass scando flicks, something you can’t do running normal hard plastic tires.

Just chucked some videos together that I had laying around on my computer.

My mate Aaron with Hoshino locking his front and rear diffs.

The RC dedicated area of Hoshino’s workshop.

Aarons slow junk RC car, even worse looking then mine haha. <3

Some of the Geki boys.

Our good friend Pants from Geki acting like a fool. He owns the orange bashed up S14 I posted on here not to long ago.

Hoshino being his normal self haha.

There will always be someone with an RC car at every local track day.

Heres some more serious ones which can usually be found at D1 events etc.

    Been thinking of getting one.

    Man it looks fun!

    Hoshino told me to use the Tamiya ones and I’m glad I listened. They are cheaper and stronger then the Yokomo ones, reason being they have less adjustable parts so less things to break. I have smashed mine into everything I can and its never broken! My brother had a Yokomo and one good crash left it in 2 very expensive bits. :(
