See it in Action: Traxxas 4-Tec Drift RWD R/C Car [Video]
Who's getting the itch to drift? This is one of the few areas of the hobby that I've never experienced, but my interest has been piqued from time to time. With the release of the Traxxas 4-Tec Drift, the urge to go slideways is at an all-time high.
This ready-to-run (RTR) 1/0-scale drift car features an eye-catching and officially licensed Ford Mustang body. It also has several features and tech elements to help first-time drifters get started and gradually work on their craft.
