Tamiya RX-7 Drift Spec Radio Control

Hone your drifting skills with Tamiya's awesome RX-7 drift radio controlled car. This easy to assemble radio control car is based on Tamiya's regular radio four-wheel drive controlled car chassis, but with a few extra exclusive details to turn it into a serious drift machine. There's specially designed tyres to allow you to slide it around skilfully, while a sport tune motor gives it more power. It's possible to tweak the suspension settings too, with adjustable upper links, revised springs and oil-filled shock absorbers.

Drifting is as much about style as it is about sliding the car around and the RX-7 doesn't disappoint with its sleek body and operating LED head and taillights. Coming in kit form, this electric 1/10 scale model requires a two-channel radio set, servos and a 6-cell battery - most retailers offering these as a complete package deal. Part of the enjoyment is actually building it, but don't take too long, as driving it promises to be fantastic fun, too.
