RE: drifting tyres
Just put PVC on all 4 wheels (assuming it's 4WD) and you will be able to drift forever. There's no need to make any comparison to "real" drifting. No one here is drifting full size cars (and if you are, this isn't the forum for it) so leave that out of your posts. Scale models react differently and therefore CANNOT be compared to the real thing.
One reason I don't frequent this board as much as I'd like is that everyone is a self-proclaimed expert. Just relax people. There's not always one right answer.
