Default RE: Drifter Survey (Car Setups & Performance)

1. How long have you been drifting/race: almost two years
2. How often do you drift? (times per week/month): twice a month at meets and every few days at home
3. Car: HPI RS4 rally
4. Battery: Emoli 2s2p pack
5. ESC: traxxas XL-5
6. Motor: prototype 23T T-Bang motor
7. Tires: PE rings
8. Pinion to Spur Ratio: 33T/90T
9. Servo: Futaba FP-s148
10. Radio: MX3
11. Upgrades: Bone stock
12. How much did you pay?: 75


Subjective Observations:

1. How does it drift? Like buttah
2. What is your runtime? (Range: race/bash) about an hour
3. Is there a specific surface it performs best? seems to be equal on carpet, asphalt and concrete
4. Is the car balanced drifting to the left and right equally, or does it drift to one side easier. Due to the battery layout, it drifts either way equally well
5. Describe the performance characteristics of your car, compare and contrast if possible to other setups you've had or seen first hand. Gobs of torque for grabbing the lead and can maintain pretty much any line I throw at it.
