ur all wrong. I recently started an account on the site but i'v been drifing for 2 years. u put tape on the back so the back wheels spin and the front pull u along. but only if u have a 4 wheel drive. SO REMEMBER NOT ON ALL WHEELS LIKE THAT LUATIC UP THERE++++ just on da back=smoth driftin

cdhac,I have the same car and tried just the back tires only yesterday and that is trash...all it does is whip the back end right around fast as hell with no control.When you just start an account on a site,telling everybody they're all wrong just because something works on your car (which I doubt it does actually) isn't a good way to start off.If you've been drifting for 2 years at least learn how to spell it.

Just put PVC on all 4 wheels (assuming it's 4WD) and you will be able to drift forever. There's no need to make any comparison to "real" drifting. No one here is drifting full size cars (and if you are, this isn't the forum for it) so leave that out of your posts. Scale models react differently and therefore CANNOT be compared to the real thing.

One reason I don't frequent this board as much as I'd like is that everyone is a self-proclaimed expert. Just relax people. There's not always one right answer.
