Default RE: Why 4WD is important.

Been a while since I posted this thread; nice to see so much interest.

I like the challenges; many have responded that this is not impossible; whereas I proved to myself that it was.

Before I disagree with you completley, I urge you to show me it can be done; which shouldn't be hard as many of you know oh so much. Put it into practice; and it doesn't work. I urge you to TRY it. Not type about it.

Remmember what drifting is. All the wheels must loose traction; not just the rear. Anything else is a powerslide.

Drifting is parallel loss of traction; at each corner. That is why in 1:1 there is so much smoke. Whatch the wheels; the car never travels in the direction of the turn applied to the front wheels. I tried this last week with a Nikko RC car, as much power as a TT01; but it cannot drift. Not today or tomorrow.

I maintain my point; lets see you do the same

Chris.
