RE: The Official Car Gallery

RE: The Official Car Gallery
motopro, difting is a very hard skill which I cannot do if you are talking about PROPER drifting, what you where describing is powersliding, which is something I do alot and is great fun but hell on tyres, if you like fast cars then I would advise powersliding and just keep an old set of tyres. But drifting is about precisenous (spelling?) and never about speed. Speed is bad for drifting because speed = spin. Drifters often take their gearing down so that they get tons of instant torque.
ThunderbirdJunkie, "...so you're basically saying you can't drive?" WHAT THE HELL!? You obviously know nothing about drifting, drifting is about low speed, precision driving. Experienced drifters are often a hell of alot more talented then circuit drivers. In the case of HPI RS4 2, I have never seem him drift but proper drifting involves very precise throttle and steering control. Unless you do powersliding (see above).
HPI RS4 2, What is the full name of that bodyshell? Might have to get one for my hotrod style 2WD...

OUCH! Thats a sweet car! One question: why have you wrapped what looks like a power wire around the carry handle on the base? Is it that you just had a long wire or is there a proper reason

B: experianced drifters are a hell of a lot more talented than circuit drivers??? are you INSANE? dude, for drifting all you need is a cheap RWD car (in 1:1 cars) and some bald crappy tires out back. I can do what anybody calls "drifting" in my old Thunderbird. and if experianced drifters are mor talented than circuit drivers, why the hell are the biggest names in drifting (i.e. Rhys Millen) people who made their names in CIRCUIT RACING?
I like powerslides as much as anybody else because they're fun (WOT on an open-headered 5.0L Ford around a corner sideways=fun)
BTW, HPI, is that the Yokomo gen2 RX7 body? I didn't know they made a 200mm version, and I need to get one

errr bling is the phrase used as something that shines......hence the late 90s song "bling bling" talking about jewelery, rims THAT SHINE, and a whole bunch of other chrome things [:'(] ...i dont know what you define bling as........ any way... the body is a NorthCraft RX-7 around 195 MM..... its a really odd width
NorthCraft RX7 (FC3S) with the RE AMEMIYA KIT -guy with mastershake avatar & cummins
about the whole bling.....im just not going to post about it anymore.....MY WHEELS BLING[:'(]
