Yokomo makes electric ones. HPI makes gas powered ones. There are probably more as well. I have kind of gotten out of RC in the past few years

I've seen those ads in Super Street too, those appear to be the Yokomo cars.. There's also some Yokomo cars in that video as well, you can tell by the bodies that they're running(White RX-7 D1 Grand Prix APEX FD, and the blue AE) but those could be a different chassis underneath.. The Yokomo cars have a good amount of detail on them, and they come w/actual exhaust mufflers, and posable headlight buckets(raised up or down), that some others don't offer... Tamiya also makes an extensive line of RC cars, but I don't think they offer a drift/specific lineup like Yokomo does.. The Yokomo kits run around 200-250 for the kit, but you can get upgrades for them to improve the performance(like almost all RC cars).. A lot of people run PVC on the rims instead of actual tires for less grip to get better drifts/powerslides... If your'e interested in getting an electric one, get a good heatsink for the motor, preferably w/a fan on it. When drifting R/C the motor gets hot from flooring it all the time to break the wheels loose, especially during the summer.. This can fry the electric motor relatively quick... Hope this helps you out

Those are Yokomo wheels on you're car, they're 1/10 scale reproductions of Advan kruzer 10's I believe. The tires should be hard plastic.. They also have Yokomo tires that are made of hard rubber w/plastic rings that you slide on over the tire to adjust the amount of grip you get....
