Default Buggy to Drifter

Iv Got a Single Speed, 4 wheel drive DuraTrax Axis its a buggy. I have a set of on-road tires with chrome wheels...im wondering if i could drift it? I mean to say how do you think it will handle. Also do they make ABS pipe that will be that round(Diameter i guess?)enough to fit the wheel.

techniacally i gues you could if you put nitro touring car wheels on there, get some HPi stage D Nitro drift tires. Put some thicker shock oil, and stiffer springs. dro the ride hegith as low as possible. It wont be ideal, bt for messing around im sure it can be done.

You would have some Issues with Weight Distribution.
a Buggy isn't set up like a Touring car, it could cause some problems..

So Technically just slaping on ABS wheels isnt going to be enough

Obviosuly it wont be a great drifter, but it should be fun to mess around with.
