YES! Lots of fun! I had 2 a TT-01 and tc4. I used tamiya drift tires wich worked great. I drifted in my garage in winter with the cars pulled out and in a couple of stalls in the huge garage where I work. It was tricky to learn. Try to stay with under a 5000kv cause the motors get hot quick over that. I used a 7cell nimh (liked the extra weight over lipo). I did not use a d box. I found the best way for me to drift was to blip the throttle constantly like you would a nitro buggy on a track. If you hold the throttle at one point you don't have control it slides with inertia, but if you blip it during a drift you are constantly initiating it and it keeps the rpm from getting out of control. I tried locking the front and rear diff and liked the front diff locked best on both cars which is contrary to what everyone recommends. I had more control with the front diff only locked. I came up with cheap flashers if you want to make cheap flasher LEDs look at bicycle lights, they are cheaply adapted. I loved my TC4 drifter the most but ended up selling both because the places I could drive them was limited and NO ONE I know in wichita ks is into drifting.
 
I am pretty much alone except for my daughter. She likes the drift cars and I also like the idea. I run my TT at home and now and then at my friends house. I love the hobby with or with out a crowd. Thank you for your input. I am looking at the Tamiya TA05 v2 for my platform.
 
hit the hardware store and buy some pvc pipe the size of the rims. you'll have to clean any ridges off. cut some tires from the pvc and slide them on and shoe goo. you have drift spec tires at a super discount.


I did a lot of drifting too. pvc tires are cheap and work the best. it's like driving or flying any rc, it takes practice. one10drift.com is a dedicated drift site to check out.
