Status: offline 		i found drifting difficult at first, but i found a good way to learn in my opinion is to try drift on an incline , i used my local school yard after hours as it has a very slight incline just to let rainwater be directed towards a drain at the bottom , its about the size of a football pitch in length so i had plenty of space , check out the listings on here as there are plenty of users with lots more drifting experience than me , as for the wheels , im still on my first set , there really good

stick with it drifting will just come to you

Been testing these wheels on a few materials but found ABS is about the best out of the lot.

Status: offline 		I understand that is not only monting drift-wheels and going in the street , but I have Abs ployetilen home made tires and compared with those once I prefer mines !
Sure , the killer looke that give the ones of this post is a lot better than mine !!!

what would be the better set-up for a TT-01 optioned with metal bearing , alu. shaft ?

Status: offline 		Hi Neozilla. Have you changed the standard shocks for oil filled? Have very soft springs and very thin oil. lock both diffs or better still have a one-way at front and a solid(spool) at rear. change standard 540 motor and esc for more powerful one?

And yes the tt-01 cannot adjust the camber but you can change the steering rod for adjustable one then give it 2to3 degrees toe out!
