I have some more videos but they are pretty big files.

RC drifting is, as they say, big in Japan!!!

Very its pretty easy to set the cars up for drifting, basically lock the rear diff and play around with the cambers used to be able to do it a bit on indoor tracks with my offroad buggy, never tried it with a touring car though, to get the cars to drift like that in the clip takes a huge amount of skill. You can actually buy the "Drift Spec" kits now from one or two of the manufacturers, IIRC Yokomo do one with a choice of bodies.

Willie and myself used to do that up the lorry park a few year ago with a couple of Kyosho Gas Powered cars. Fitted with slicks and a smooth surface it was a doddle to drift and donut the poor wee things.

Old hat but i fancy another one. Maybe a 35cc Viper for £800 with a top speed of 130 mph would do the trick

The weapon of choice seems to be the relatively cheap Tamiya TT-01 and then upgrade it with different parts.

I have seen the 100+mph cars you mention Grant!!! MENTAL.

There is a place in the centre of Ayr next to the BP garage thats sells the drift kits from Japan for Kyosho
