RC Drifting at Uras in Fukuoka
Mar 5th
Remote Control Drift Cars are really big in Japan at the moment and it looks to be growing bigger and bigger. People of all ages, genders, and walks of life are doing it. RC Drift Otaku’s are spending $1000 of dollars on gear to make their cars faster, slide better, and on of course rechargeable battery packs. It’s not a cheap hobby but it’s A LOT cheaper than drifting in real life!!
Here is a little unedited video I took with my Casio point-and-shoot camera the other day.
Here is a link to their RC Drifting Blog (in Japanese but with lots of pictures)
