It's not just skill... it's limitations in the environments too. Notice they're on carpet, not concrete or asphalt. Carpet is WAY higher grip. I looked and couldn't find a single video of a drifting rwd car on concrete or asphalt. The cars also need a ton more steering lock to work as rwd only.

Not saying it can't be done, but I would bet that if you tried on pavement it would do nothing but spin. If I get my drift car up to about half speed and either floor it, or try to turn it just slides all over the place.
