The magazine of scale drift

RC Drift is an independent UK magazine covering 1:10 scale drift — the discipline, the kit, the scene, and the people who spend their weekends arguing about tyre compound. We publish reviews, how-to guides, beginner primers and scene reports.

Why we exist

Drift coverage in the RC press is thin and largely left to forums. We wanted a publication that treats the discipline with the same care that print magazines once gave to real motorsport — edited writing, photographed well, and connected to gear you can actually buy.

How we make money

RC Drift is a magazine and a shop under one roof. Revenue from the shop funds the magazine, which means we only stock kit we would run ourselves and we keep prices honest — no inventory padding, no upsells, no fake discounts.

Editorial independence

We recommend products we would buy, even when they are not our highest margin. When a chassis is flawed, we say so. When a cheaper kit is better, we recommend it. The magazine serves the reader first; the shop pays the bills.

Who writes this

Olly Paton edits RC Drift and writes most of what you read here. He drives RWD on carpet, owns too many body shells, and has opinions about tyre compound that he will share without being asked.
