My skyline with it's stock setup (the 3 times I played with it stock) didn't spin out on me once, this was on hardwood floors. I added the awd kit and soft suspension up front + a stage 2 (red motor which ever that is, I think 9 tooth) and I got a couple of nice drifts. Most times I would just slide the rear out (aka no control), but I'm still trying to get a hang of the steering. Wish I could get in some more play time with this car.

Somewhat.
Also I'ld like to say I know the difference between a drift and a doughnut. I can honestly say I pulled off 2 nice drifts around an imaginary corner. The steering slop isn't hindering my drifting at all. Ofcourse catching it more easier is gonna need my practicing a bit more.

Once again all that King Cobra can do is complain about things like..."it doesn't go a 140mph...its stupid" and " That's not a drift thats a donut" You do remember thins is a toy and won't drift like a freaking porsche
