Back on Topic

The Smartech cars do Break alot their nitro motors burn out and whilst they will drift, they wont drift for very long before you smash it into a guetter as the Brakes are not that good..


You should have visited this forum prior to your purchase as it would have saved you a lot of tears..

Status: offline 		do you guys think that a hpi rtr3 evo is a good choice for a nitro drifter>? it seems to work a treat atm i highly reccomend them they just came onto the australian market aas far as i know i got one 2 days ago, and even with the stock tyres on it(hpi race tyresZ) it drifts fairly easily untill the tyres warm up, but i have a set of stage d drift tyres here w8in to be put on sum rims. duz any one have any suggestions on a good technique

Status: offline 		They Slide But I dont Recommend Nitro For Drift, Unless You got an Uber Leet Skills and a Bloody Good Tuned Engine with the Gears Set Really Low then Technical Slides are outta The Question..

An Electric will pwn you in the slide every time...

Status: offline 		but do u have any idea on a good technique, i found today that if i got off the accelerator b4 i turn then nail it wen i start turnin i tended to get it sideways more often than not but im looking for a more effective manouvre. are there any suggestions out there on how to drift these tyres, they came standard on the car, i can get it sideways so dont tell me its impossible lol. and another thing, is it better to set my suspension stiffer or softer?
