Radio-controlled cars go drifting

Drifting radio controlled cars

Last week, we thought we'd seen an interweb video capable of dethroning the mighty Monkey Rides Dog; the most excellent drifty three-wheelers.

Well friends, this week we have found yet more sideways goodness, as a bunch of electric radio-controlled cars drift with the panache of a slidey hoonigan.

Watch it and waste a most excellent four-and-a-half minutes of your life, and then berate yourself for throwing out your classic Tamiya Grasshopper R/C car.
