Status: offline 		For drifting I just wrap one wrap of electric tape on ols set of rubber tires. They get enough bite so I can still accelerate ok and still go relatively fast, but slippery enough to easily overpower them and drift at any speed. It might work on pvc for more grip, but I think cheapo rubber tires with tape would be better, but my drift skills are not that great so take it for what it's worth .

Status: offline 		You can use rough sandpaper to rub down to add a bit more traction on PVC wheels but it wont add much m8 there not made for speed better off swopping to rubber for speed runs etc
If you mean a bit more speed for drifting ive found you need perfectly flat surfaces to drift fast on PVCs any bumps and the pvc lose any traction it has...
