Default HPI Micro RS4 drifting

I am getting an HPI Micro RS4 and plan to drift it. Must I only lock the rear differential(Like 1/10th scales) or do I have to lock both front and back(like an XMod)? Thanks!

Electric tape for my wood floor and ABS or PVC outside.

what i did was .... I took my stock rim to home depot store and went over to the pipes and started sticking it in all the pipes till I found one that fit nice and tight. That hole pipe was like 4.00 bucks Then i cut the a peace to fit over the rims .... Note i did not use glue..
let me send you a pic of wht i did ....

Do you get some big angles like a 1/10th scale? And will I need a better motor than the stock one? Thx
