there seem to be alot of dout about wither nitro drift or not the answer is yes they do drift. and from experiance i can say they drift even better then my electric (nitro on road) . i used foam tires with electric tape, the trick is not to cover the tire fulling with tape just the middle the sides should remain without tape. second dont just go out and drift right way. what you want is to wear down the cut you made to the tape so that ill not robe off. the tape should be facing clockwise. if you but the tape wrong ill just beal off. happy dirfting if any question ask. and ill do what i can to best answer them.
