for razzing around the garden, RWD or 4WD?
Can you get proper oversteer drifts with RC RWD or does the front not have enough bite?

Not really, you'd need 4WD, RWD just loops out and spins.

Sons doing fine around the garden with the rwd lunchbox.

We tried it down at some playing fields yesterday - it coped easily with the slightly muddy/grassy incline (45 degrees, about 10' long). I just kept going and going, and my son discovered the wonders of going from full speed reverse to forward, and finding that it would actually do a 360 degree flip and keep on going.

From the upper section of the fields we tried it for range - my lad gave up when he couldn't make out the car from the grass at a distance of about 2 football fields away.

Awesome, truly awesome!
