touring cars make fantastic touring cars, it is what it is. I'm not knocking the sprint 2, just comparing it to real drift chassis and hands down it's not a drift chassis. Will it drift, hell yea! but a good drifter could drift a brick, but why show up to a gun fight with a knife?

My point is in comparison to drift chassis it lacks, yes put slippery tires on it and you will spin. Control your drifts with precision to tag a flag with the quarter panel, or enter in and out of point box on an apex at a 45 degree, you need a tuned drift chassis for this. Can you do it with a sprint 2? Yes, but you have to work your butt off trying to do it, and the margin for error just increased a hundred fold. I must add also that there are some drift chassis out there that are horrible and you are better off with a sprint 2.

If you have not drifted competitively and own several other well known drift chassis you cannot possibly know the difference. Put yourself in a competition with a sprint 2 against a dozen other drift designed chassis and see how difficult it is chasing a yokomo in a synchronized tandem.

Like I said sprint 2 is a great car, I'm not knocking it our discouraging anyone from getting one or converting it to a drifter, I drift one myself, but if you ever want to take your drifting to competitive levels, you need equipment that will give you the edge and no one chassis holds that title, yet. That is why you need several cars tuned differently.

Oh yea, on the one way diff, It will not "act exactly the same as with a stock diff until you apply the brakes" no idea what cbr6fs is talking about - a one way gives equal power to both wheels under power at any rpm under any road condition or tire slippage, your diff in the sprint uses planetary gears which do not give equal power and the same holds true for a spool, these two designs are "limited slip" diffs - best suited for stability either coming out of a curve into a straight away under power and vise versa, this is what you want in touring, it promotes traction as wheel travel distance is different in a curve, inner wheel traveling less than outer wheel, so they are designed to give some slippage so as not to loose traction - not what you want in drifting, especially in a switchback.

So, can you drift it? probably Can you drift it under complete control? probably not, but that is what we aim for.

Here is my sprint 2 (supra right side) going head to head with a yokomo in a tandem, about two-three inches apart - notice the yellow car in the back who spun out, it was a nicely tuned tamiya chassis, the trigger finger was not
