Ok I have done alot of driftin with my real car ( tell the cops caught me lol) but I have never really drifted with a rc. I have a Xmod for right now how could I get that to drift? I try and throw it sideways and then correct the steering but it never works. Is it even possible for a Xmod to drift?

I've got a Skyline with the Stage 2 motor (red gear set), and about all I can get it to do in the sliding department is over-steer. While this comes in handy for getting around a tight corner it is not exactly drifting. I've heard people say that if you put the four wheel drive upgrade on it helps for drifting ... I tried it and the car was underpowered, but that was before I got the Stage 2 motor, so it may be different if you have both. So it may take a higher power motor or more voltage (more cells) to get the car to drift without doing something drastic like taping your tires or using plastic tires/bare rims - in my opinion if you've got to mess with the traction that much, is it really drifting?

On that note however, at one point I did try to put 'Scotch' tape on the tires to decrease their traction. This showed some promise, but since I was only rear wheel drive all I could get were donuts. I like to drive circuits the 'normal' way too, so I am wary of doing anything major to play around with drifting ... I don't want to have to perform major surgery every time I want to switch between the two. That's just my thoughts on the subject.

PS - This forum (RC Universe as a whole) seems to be fairly down on X-Mods (that's just an observation, now don't go jumping all over me ... cause I know that'll spark some anger in some of you guys), you might try [link=http://www.xmodrc.com]www.xmodrc.com[/link] though it is a bit more informal (and seems to have a lower mean age) than RC Universe.

i have an xmod rsx with stage 2 motor, 4wd and a 5 cell mod. now, drifting is feasible, but not exactly too enjoyable because most of the time, its skidding and not drifting.

You get awd then tape the tires then you can drift.

ok I have stage 2 motor, 5th cell and for the AWD kit I did it special I put 2 stock diffs in instead of the 1's that come with the kit (SHHHH) to me it makes the car fast as a 2wd but the handlin of a 4wd, really cool. AND by the way I still cant get it to drift but ill keep tryin!

have any of you tried to buy the drifting kit, it comes with new bearings and tires, btw i only saw one of these, email me at [email protected]f u have any more questions

You asked about XMOD Drifting? I have been doing it for a while. The trick is Kyosho Mini Z componets. I have a Skyline with the AWD, steel ball bearings, Drift Spec. tires, Mini Z 1200 motor from F-1 car Mini Z, blue gear 2 stage and custom camber plates front and rear. That will get you hooked up! Twin turbo by Kyosho is the next step. SPOOL 'EM!

hey i driften nice with out tape but not that long so get 4wd hard springs all round and tape the bak tires . hopefully itll work
