About when I signed up I came in here and there was always a ton of people in the drifting section well lately I have not noticed anyone. Anyways my question is is rc drifting dying?
Yes maybe. Or maybe more people are drifting but don't talk about it. Drifting is really fun but also really simple. Maybe thats the problem. With my 1/5th gas car and race trucks I always check the forums for advice on upgrading, tuning, and fixing. But my Hot Bodies Tailwhip drift car has been simple, fun, and reliable. I have worn out my tires and was unable to buy new ones at my LHS. So I made my own by painfully cutting PVC pipe with a hacksaw and making my own. Problem solved. Also fitted the car with LED lights for night drifting. Now maybe I will search the forums later for advice on a servo upgrade. But otherwise it's good as is completely stock with brushed motor. It drifts fine, I don't need to tune it for racing, and I don't break it every time I bash like I do with my off road cars. So although I use my drift more then any of my RC cars (almost daily since its fun at night), I don't post here often. But I am looking for a better faster drifter so maybe I will post later for advice on a new car (thinking maybe Xray TT01).
