Heeheehee!

I do have fun sometimes, just lurking some forums! The last chassis I was laughing at was the Traxxas X01. All these guys fawning over something that costs over $1,000, goes fast enough to slam into a curb or wall, and turn itself into a million little plastic bits in the blink of an eye, talking about how it can be made to "handle better."
RUH?

An RC car can't turn at anything over 40 MPH.......I wonder what they're *talking* about?

But on the flip side - I finished the Grid carbon conversion, and tested it last night - it requires only some different shock oil! Pretty good, considering how light it is now. I expected to be making far more adjustments, but it's all good!

Have you given thought to drift tires? I have a suggestion - try Yeah Racing 3 degrees. TQRC has them in the "drift tire" section, and they're pretty affordable, as drift tires go. I have been using them, with great results, so far. Another vendor is Raikou Drift Tires, online. their DXPE, EX and S45's and D70's are all good compounds, and one thing about tires.......

It's a good idea to have as many wheelsets for every compound you have. There is no such thing as an "all-around" drift tire, that will drift well on all surfaces. I, myself use six compounds, and no matter where I am, there is a compound that will work better than all the others, on any particular surface. I have stacks of wheelsets with tires mounted, but I can drift anywhere.
I would tell you to try as many as you can afford, and keep them in a box or something (I made a pit box out of a big fishing tackle box), so if one set doesn't work well, you can just swap them out for a set that does. After all, tires are the only contact with the ground a car has, and they will be the reason why a chassis drifts well or not.
