Hi,


Never heard of a xxx-s so no idea what it's like or if it's any good for drifting.

Usually a good start is to lock up the rear diff and fit HPI T-Drifts, the Sushi's are not as good as either the T-Drifts or Yokomo rings, and the T-Drifts last a little longer than the Yokomo's.


As the man says don't bother with a Gtro either.
Well, 12 Sushi drift rings are $9 shipped, and TWO T-Drifts are $9 without shipping...

Your money your choice.


If the budget is really very tight then i recon making your own wheels out of PVC piping is the best option.
Takes a bit of work to cut them the right size then file down the edges, but you'll get half decent tyres very very cheap.


Next option for me would be the T-Drifts, simply because there is no comparison between the Sushi's and T-Drifts.
T-drifts fit better, are made better, and drift better.

If your just having fun bashing with mates they also last for ages.


Not tried these personally yet, but read that they're very nearly as good as the T-Drifts just a little softer.

I'd prefer to try those over the Sushi's if i was on a tight budget.
