Any hard surface will do. Although the mortar between the tiles may interfere. . .

I drift on tile but the only way I can really do it is with tape. Even with my tie rod, suspension, and tires it still cathces the cracks and pops my car up. Yet with tape there is more wheel spinning going on so it kinda floats over tiles............sometimes...lol

i drift mine over some pretty deep grout grooves. most of the time the back tires will catch the grooves and the whole rear of the car will chatter during the drift. it's not impossible just keep working on it. the main thing that helped mine was of course the awd kit/s2 drift motor combo, but i think what helped the control the most was moving the batteries all the way forward. good luck

I drift mine over some huge cracks in my tile with no problems. Get some foam tires on there.
