Default RE: Need help building a Drift Car. Please.

Thanks for the help. A setup sheet would be GREAT!!!

Coming into this I haven't got a clue how to set up a car.

Do you think the Brushless system I have is okay to use or should I go brushed?

Novak GTB with an SS3400 sensored motor.

As for the wheels to use with the ABS are they simply the wheels used for foam tires?

I have a set of rubber slick tires. They mount like a normal stadium truck tire in a slot on the edge of the rim.

Our club races on carpet. How does this change the scenario?

Also, right now the butt end of my car tries to pass the front end around a corner. Does this mean the front is too loose? The front doesn't seem to pull at all.

I have parts on order because I found some stripped bolts (what do you expect from buying used?) Should I lock the rear diff?

How do you lock the diff in a simple way when it is a friction type deal capturing the spool that the belt rides on? Do you remove the bearings and tighten it down?

Is there a thread on how to do this on this site or do you know of any sites that explain in great detail?

I know. All kinds of questions. Like I said I know nothing about touring cars or drifting cars. [sm=confused.gif]

My time has been spent in the dirt and on the rocks.
