RE: **OFFICIAL** Himoto Drifting Thread
you going to make tires out of PVC pipe? That thing is not going to go anywhere, it is just going to sit in one spot spinning the tires.

Here is a little video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95ndeL0QhJE
PS: The black stuff is ABS pipe not PVC.

Nice video Derek, too bad its not a himoto though, would have been a much better video since our 1/10 onroads come with an infinity/sh.18 and a pivot ball suspension standard [8D]

RE: **OFFICIAL** Himoto Drifting Thread
I think the Infinity/SH would actually be harder to drift with. There is no need for that much power in a drift car, the power starts to work against you. I honestly think a bone stock electric would make for a great drift car.
PS: My video kinda sucks to be honest. I need to make another one when I have someone to help film.

RE: **OFFICIAL** Himoto Drifting Thread
actually the extra power will spin the wheels faster and make it drift easier once you learn how to control it. You also need to lock it into first gear or make it a single speed.
