Drifting has become a mainstream pastime among model car fans, and RC drift kits let you master slides at a fraction of the cost. The Tamiya 58386 NISMO Coppermix Silvia on the TT-01D chassis offers authentic drift looks and a chassis geared for tunability.
Shown at the 2005 NISMO Festival at Fuji Speedway, the Coppermix Silvia adapted the S15 for road use while keeping its drift pedigree. The silver bodywork with red and black graphics reflects the car's performance roots and appeal to drifters and collectors.
Drift driving is focused on balance, throttle control and steering correction to keep the rear end sliding through corners. RC drift kits provide a low-cost way to explore setup changes and driver technique without the risks of full-size cars.
The TT-01D has drift-friendly design elements. It comes with drift tyres that offer a controlled slip and come pre-mounted for convenience. The chassis features adjustable suspension, full ball bearings, a sport-tuned motor and an aluminium heat sink for improved motor cooling. The 4WD shaft-driven bathtub chassis adds stability, and the independent double wishbone suspension with sealed differentials gives accurate handling response.
Whether you are refining your setup or starting out with drift practice, the Tamiya 58386 NISMO Coppermix Silvia provides a rewarding build and consistent on-track behaviour.
