New Drift Tire Idea (Idea?)
Ok , I was rooting in me dad's garage and found this silver metal tape , here it's called "thermal tape" used for covering up spaces in HVAC ducting, anyways, just for hoots and hollers sake, I wrapped this here tape around the tires and took it for a couple runs, wowsers this stuff is awesome. This is great for people just getting into the R/C drift scene and just want to learn how-to steer the car while it's under drift. The downside is it only lasts for maybe 2 or 3 tanks of gas, but its perfect for those kids who always talk about how their cars are going nuts , well use this and it'll teach you how to control it and plus it also gives you ideas for throttle response. I will put pics up when I'm back from virginia (saturday) :-\ since it's 2:30 in the morn I think I might just go to bed, Home Depot has this stuff for $6.45/roll. The exact description is :
2in x 50yd Aluminum 322 Foil Tape
Internet/Catalog # 105879
Store SKU # 915245
$6.45

Intresting. Will pick this up at my local hardware store and give it a try. Do you think there's still too much traction for 1/10th electric 4WD's though?

What crawled up your ***** and died? It was dead for weeks, not like it was a hot topic or anything... Enlighten me though with the meaning of 'cotton headed ninny muggings', it's new to me.

another thing that works fairly well for beggining drifters is p.v.c pipe, this stuff is cheap and all you need to do is find the right diamitere and cut it to the right width and put it on your rims. you will slid around like you never thoguht was possible.
