one of the reasons its easier is cuz only the people who say they have mini t's, actually own mini t's , and im not one of them.... but just because its easier to sit around and say it cant be done , doesnt mean that we have to, im just either sitting around or trying to drift my mlst (my tyres are wearing out real bad i must be doing something wrong)

There's very little propulsion when using RWD, which is the main challenge, along with quick, precise throttle control. I've already shown you guys that I can keep the tail out with a Mini-Z MR02... drifting is just one long tail out, with more room (check), more power (check) and more angle (check). I'll find the time to make a video by the end of August.

That was very cool... I love the Dukes of Hazard...

hey, this gives me an idea, with the amount of time the mini t spends on-road, and the amount of time the general lee spends off road (on mini-t type terrain [>:]) , maybe they have something in common... like, a 1/18 dodge charger 1968 body would be nice but i dont think any such thing exists

TrikeKid

I suppose I'm the only one that believes this kid? I've drifted my BL pede (ok, it was on dirt, but it was long slides, linking corners around things, not donuts), and driven mini-t's, I see no reason why a mini couldn't do the same as my truck.

how are those servo savers coming along

I believe you can drift a Mini-T -- Just not easy to do. Lots of practice.

hes given up i think.....realized he cant do it.

i want video nowwww

i dont see why people think that you caint drif 2WD rc the physics and mechanics of it are the same as real it is just scaled down...i yousd to drift my 12l all the time, it wasnt absolutly butiful because it was sooo hard. going the other way now, i am sure you could get a AWD car to drift gracefully like a RC TC if you put hard compound plastic tires on it(the 1:1 car).

anythings possible, if you got the brains and the skills to do it.

aight you know what, im gonna be on rcdrifters side and gonna jump in the bandwagon...i got my mini-t wid 2 cell lipo and mamba 8000kv motor. only problem is that the car wont turn on properly...gonna make a seperate post about this problem....neways... ill put some electrical tape or something on the tires and go drifting outside...ill practice a couple times, then when im ready ill post a vid....you guys have low hopes.....

Jrgunn5150

I wonder if my crappy celled, Baja motoered Mini-t with Trinity onroads will hold a drift at all? I think I may find out. First I gotta find the little turd...

I'm back, still no mini-t drift vid.[&o]

i think the 8k is a lil' to much power if you put tape on the tires.

carmatic1

well you could always use your epa to turn it down to 50% or something if that helps, otherwise normal tires and actual screeching always beat 'drift tyres' , if you got the reflexes to handle the speed and you dont mind shelling out for new tyres here and there

Dannn

i will try to drift my vulcan nitro 4wd car after the tires wear down... (should be done by about noon today) and ill try with that because i can get it to do about a 6 inch drift then hook up again. I may try my mlst when i get it working again.

carmatic1

want to see just what a drifting mini t could look like? [link=http://www.one18th.com/GetGallery11384.htm]skip to 0:17 [/link]

Wheres the vid??????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????

It ain't happening.

Here's a clip in slo-mo... I think it can be done, but it takes much more practice and fine motor skills than a comparative AWD drift. Linking drifts is much harder too.

strange, another new reply notification, with no new reply? rc18t145 was supposed to have posted here like, half an hour after i posted my reply...

Seek and Destroy

I think mine got deleted.

hands without shadows

Thats a powerslide, powerslides are easy enough but its not a true drift.

Gex_61

Can someone give me the definition of drifting? I think i'm having trouble understanding. Why do you say it isn't a true drift? Is he drifting or not?
