hey foxy i know they got more power then other cars but i also drift my 3.3 4 tec and trust me its faster then any large scale and i use pvc its about control and skill too i bet you could drift a large scale car with pvc ill try it on my buddies baja and let you know how it goes i also use my hpi rs4 3 evo that i converted to rwd and its not to much hard you just cant take such sharp angles im not trying to sound like a dick but anything is possible if you put effort you know
Yeh, no, with the greatest of respect, I'm afraid you are mistaken. You'll see for yourself if you really do plan to try it on a 5b. It won't go ANYWHERE, trust me. Also the baja is a rear heavy RWD car, it won't drift even if you put the perfect tires on it, the chassis balance is all wrong. Actually, the best way to drift a 5b is to leave stock tires on it and put it in the dirt. Good luck with that though, it's a biatch to drift because there is no weight on the front wheels, I had a 5b for a couple years, sold now. I drift in real life by the way, every day. I drive a Honda S2000 for my daily, a notoriously difficult car to drift, so I know a little about RWD drifting dynamics.
As for your 4tec, I don't see how that's relevant. A 1/10th $300 budget car park basher compared to a $4000 1/5th scale race car...The gasser is 7 times heavier, and the engine generates 10 times as much torque. Do you see why this is not gonna do it? Imagine putting pvc tires on a 300hp real car. It would just spin on the spot. My vid above is of a 4wd gasser drifting on rubber race tires, as you can see, just like the smaller scales it is much more controllable. I never said you can't drift rwd, of course you can if you have an unbelievably skilled controller hand, but 4wd is much easier, and pvc tires are a total waste of time.
