Status: offline 		oh yeah i forgot. you know its hard to drift rear wheel drive cars. but they power slide on those types ofr floors like crazy. sorry i guess that if you dont have a floor like that the "fake tires" will do.

Status: offline 		with pvc/abs you can drift on any surface....unless you own a mega fast brushless, then you could use some slicks

Status: offline 		sweeeet. But the reason you can drift with slicks is because you car is nitro and has much more power. And to finish off that body (i'm guessing it's supposed to be the one from 2fast 2furious) you should tint the windows with a light layer of black and get some underglow from www.rcneon.com, or just make it yourself

Making it yourself is WAY cheaper.
