stiffen the ride, lower it slightly being higher slightly on the front, no anti roll bars, taped tyres, 30wt shock oil, 2holes open on the piston, shorten your wheel base if you can, lock the front and rear diff for rear locking wheels and more on power steering to create over steer, harder on the back to get it sliding about

basics really all i ever do is use a set of knackered slicks and my race setup and it works just as well as anything else if not better

Plastic tires dont offer much traction try ABS pipes, tape or actual drift tires

?? electric or nitro? abd-pvc on electric and nitro yokomo frift tires or hpi stage d. well drifting is a driving technique created by japans mountain drivers. mostly created to keep there car alive while driving fast and lossing traction on the rear wheels. drifting is a controlled turn.

gothita i will agree with the abs for the electric but not to the yokomo rings for nitro ...they wore down WAY Too quick and its still uncontrolable so i would DRFINATLY go with the HPI'z for nitro'z

Gogita, I'm gonna have to call bull**** on your history of drifting. The technique wasn't invented by the Japanese. Auto racing history has traces drifting back to Italy and the USA when vehicle weights were negatively affecting steering response. Also, drifting is sometimes the fatest way through a corner.

I've been "drifting" for years but we didn't have a name for it then. That's just how we hot-dogged driving through snow.
