your brain would have to proccess visual info faster than the speed of light to consistently drift a rwd xmod.

4wd. only way with an xmod since the electronics aren't very consistent to start with.

and in real cars, of course rwd is better. but keep in mind they have much higher mass and longer wheelbase, and rc's have too much power and so little weight, that to apply the same technique would not work very well. granted, you could make it work if you go with more precise and consistent electronics like a mini-z board, but it would be very hard. it's like rwd drifting a 2500 hp 1:1, keeping that power to weight ratio. and electric rc's have much different torque curves than gas powered cars, where we have most of our torque throughout the whole rpm range, gas cars only have that torque at the higher regions of their rpm range. the differences may not seem like much, but they make it next to impossible to be consistent when trying to drift rwd.
