It may be short, but you cannot deny that this is a RWD drift.

Status: offline 		Gah... I'll list out all I can think of.

Front suspension:
- 0 degrees camber
- 0 degrees caster
- 0 degrees toe out
- 3racing stiff spring (I think it's 3racing...)
- 3racing kingpins
- lowered 1.5mm

Rear suspension:
- stiff t-plate
- gear diff (don't use that... try to use a ball diff)
- disk damper: furniture polish as lube, soft top spring, stiff bottom spring
- lowered 1.5mm

Motor/gearing:
- Hyper dash 2 armature, ball bearing can, carbon brushes, neodymium magnets
- 44:6 gear ratio

Tires:
- front: plastic
- rear: 55 degree (shore hardness, I think?)

Chassis overall:
- wheelbase: 98mm
- width: 70mm

Status: offline 		I have to Agree, It is Not Drifting but Tailing out, a Drift is where it Crab Walks in a Forward motion with the Tail at an Angle the Whole way.. Not Just Geting the tail out but actually Keeping it out the whole time..

It Does Show How ever , just how much fun a RWD Car is.. Good work...

Status: offline 		Valiant effort trying to get a RWD to drift. It's mostly fishtailing. I had a M04L before and that's about as much as I could do with it as well. Keep trying. Maybe you'll finally find that right setup that gets it to drift.

Status: offline 		Nah, my reaction times have shortened, so I'm going to try a grippier front tire. If they consider it tailing out, that's fine with me, I don't do this purely for show. It's excellent practice for the races, so I'm just going to step up the grip levels bit by bit.

Gotta revamp the setup though.
