Default Drifting 1/10 Stadium Trucks?

Is this possible..you've prob. need some on-road tires with very stiff suspension with like a 78 or 80 tooth spur gear..

try it out, just put some tape on the tires which will give u a good idea of the drifting potential of your truck.
Reasons it sux:
1) It is hard, all you do is 180.
2) It looks kinda goofy seeing a stadium truck trying to drift
3) stadium trucks are for off road purposes and tamiya on road cars are very inexpensive and work great for difting.

i got my tamiya tt01 off ebay for around a hundred. Then i bought an aluminium drive shaft cuz the one in the kit is plastic, and ball bearings all around. I spent 178 canadian so maybe 150 US should give u a decent ride. Tamiya TL 01 s work good too and apparently the best drifter is the tamiya ta03f, hard to find though. If u have radio gear and batteries laying around like i do then this is a cheap way to start drifting and having loads of fun!

i drift my tamiya stadium truck and its drifts very well.
I can do alot more than just 180. Though i just started a couple weeks ago. PVC is much better than just putting tape over the tires. Plus the tape leaves a sticky residue on them. I no from experience.[sm=thumbup.gif]
