The Kyosho Optima cometh
So Kyosho basically confirmed on their FaceBook page that the next re-issue car is the Optima.

So i’m completely geekng out here. The Optima was my holy grail at the local track when I [...]

So by now you guys know that I love RC Drift. I get all loopy and excited when I see shifts in the segment or innovations in the established platforms. It’s easy to forget when you’re so wrapped up in something that some people are still on the outside looking in wondering what it is that us drifters are all [...]

HSP Flying Fish RTR Drift car review
What’s up Squidders? Evol here with a little bit of review action for you would-be drifters on a budget. Prior to being asked to take a look at this car I had never even heard of HSP.
