Having been into the rc drift scene for a few years now, I'll give my input. This will probably only work as a limited run if the price is right and the quality is high, for so many reasons.
Mostly, drifters fall into 1 of 2 categories though.
1. They build everything themselves by frankensteining and custom one-off builds because that's what they find fun. Experimenting themselves and unique builds.
2. Brand...well...to keep it clean...loyal. lol They stick exclusively to one brand. If they have a MST, everything is MST. If they've gone Overdose, everything is Overdose.
I like the idea you have, and I say go for it and give it a shot, don't let me put your fire out. But based on my experience, you'll be marketing to a small crowd of a sub-genre of the hobby. I wouldn't expect huge sales or much of a profit, if at all.
