That Could be Why It works for me. I have Yokomo drift tires (without rings 'cause I snapped em all trying to put them on!, Damn fat fingers!!) and a Fireball 19 DT that I retarded the timing on. But it was definitely easier to get it sideways and keep it there while going at a good pace. before it'd either get too slow and straighten out or turn in too tight and go right around. I am not real good at drifting yet but this defently helped me.
