You don’t even have to love drifting to appreciate the artistry of four cars dancing around city streets at night. You should especially love it because while it may look like the real deal, no Falken tires were shredded during filming. That’s because the cars are 1/10 scale R/C racers and the super-skilled drivers proved their mastery via remote control.
For the whole story behind the shoot, check out the photos and more info on Falken’s blog.
YouTube Description: Falken Tire, HPI Racing, My Trick RC and Super G Drift Arena teamed up to create an epic 1:10 scale, four car tandem RC Drift video. Driving by: Akihito Watamase, Katsumi Kuwakino, Gavin Roberts and Ko Aihara.
