hmm, now you're older you should try it.
You can initiate drifts in SCX by appropriate analog adjustment of the "button".
Just don't get the magnetic ones - they ARE boring.
Haven't yet tried the new digital ones that allow up to six cars to run in the same track and can be "steered" to switch tracks.
Still not as much fun as tarmac track and 1/12 - 1/5 scale r/c
