Default Why you shouldnt drift with 2wd

Well there is a lot of people asking about 2wd drifting one once being me trying to 2wd drift. For everyone out there just to get this clear, yes you can "sort of" drift 2wd but its not fun at all and very hard. RC drifting is suppose to be fun, when you drift 2wd 9 times out of ten your going to fail. It gets very boring very quickly so why do it? If you want to do it go ahead but why buy a $80 ( AUS ) toy when you can buy a hbx lancer or skyline for the same price?

4wd rc cars on the other hand are a lot easier and a hell of a lot more fun. You can control the drift, no practice needed ( well not much ) and well all around better. 2wd drifting isnt really drifting, more tailing out, you cant get it fully sideways is what im trying to say. Its kind of on the border of spinning out but still got grip, only the back is sliding not the front 2 so your just whipping out the tail not sliding sideways.

2WD Drifting:

Not Controllable

Hard

Boring

Cant do consecutive drifts ( one after another )



4WD/AWD Drifting:

Controllable

Easy

Fun

Can do consecutive drifts




See the difference?

I just made this to clarify that yes you can sort of drift 2wd but its not fun, it's hard, and boring.

Thnx for reading!

I hope this gets stickied so it can help people and stop people asking questions and making threads asking about 2wd drifting lol.

cya later everyone!
