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.

the steering is so sloppy that its hard to get the precision control needed for drifting...also the turn radius sucks!

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
