    Hi guys I'm new here, I've watched many video that they brake just front tire then drifting.
    So I'm interested.. Is it removed rear brake system?

    Easiest way would be to fit a line locker, then at the turn of a handle you can use the brake pedal for just the fronts. Then you could control the rear with a hydro

    It's usually just the brake bias, inside wheel is light so locks up easy.

    Usually this will be with a normal braking system. The driver will be braking with left foot at the same time as holding the power on the accelerator when coming into a corner. Because the rear wheels are powered they will just slow a little, but the front wheel with no power to it can stop if you are too aggressive on the brakes for the level of front grip from the tyres.
    So it's usually no trick, no special system, just a quirk of left foot braking when coming into a corner very fast.
