Status: offline 		Thought I would share this one. I shot this video. It was a test we were doing with some tricked drifting tires. We never even glued the tires to the wheels, didn't figure it would even need it. You should always consider the un-level surfaces of a parking lot !! Just a word of advise ... It was a ton of fun while it lasted though

Bob, yeh, I've seen that vid, cool stuff. I laughed when the tire rolled off! I'll be sticking with white spots for now, as the drifting action is very aggressive and very realistic to the 1:1s, where your vid is almost the same slippage as those 1/10th cars you see drifting, also very cool.

I'll get onto them about your sig again. Sorry for the delay, I thought it had been sorted.

Status: offline 		Foxy, are you using the slick or asphalt/tarmac rally tires?

Have you run the car(s) with locked diffs or a heavy weight silicon oil or grease in them?

I spent many hours on the set-up of my rally car trying to stop it from drifting....whilst it was great fun and generated alot of interest at race meetings, drifting round the corners/turns did not produce competitive lap times!!!

Status: offline 		I'm sorry Clive, at the moment, my only goal IS drifting. I don't mean to brag but I was racing 1/10th nitro for many years, and I'm pretty hot on setting up cars (I also dabble in 1:1 racing and modifying), so when the time does come to turn some good lap times, I'll let you know how I go.

I'm guessing you've tried the soft tarmac tires, a front anti-roll bar, and heavy weight diff oil front, open rear? As for damping, again you usually want softer rear, but that's just a guess, I really need to experiment, all cars behave differently.
