don't know if it's "really" possible, but anyone seen any trucks drift.

I tried it yesterday, but can't be called a real drift (I was on a dust running track). It looke like touring car drifts, but of course i can't do that on asphalt.

Any ways I might be able to drift a truck? I'm pretty new to this, but anything used on touring cars that might be applied to a truck? (maybe put tape on the tyres etc...) tips please.

Just thought it would be a fun topic [sm=wink.gif]

As long as it has All Wheel Drive then yes It can be done to a Truck

All Wheel drive is Essential for RC Drift...

There is nothing Stopping you from Whacking a Set of 1:10 Scale Touring Car Rims with PVC Tyres and hitting the Conrete for a Slide, other then it may look a little odd..

you might need to lower and stiffen the suspension to get a better slide also

ive seen people drifting rc18ts and mini-ts.

Suspension is already pretty stiff. Not sure how I would go about lowering it tho.

Most of the drift techiniques worked pretty well on the grit track.

Sadly I won't get to try it again for a while... http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4222669/tm.htm

i say lower it so it doesnt roll as much in the turns and also to keep the most abs tire contact because with abs u need uber traction or its uncontrollable. what tires will you be using?

I drift my 18T all the time. PVC tires and locked rear diff.

i drift my moms boyfriend buggy with abs lol it's fun

i use to drift my 'pede with all stock set-up, not as good as some of you guys though, but it was fun

How do you drift a pede? I find that hard to belive, fishtale a bunch but I dont know if it would really be a drift...

I mean I heard of 2wd drifting, but whats the dif between a fishtale or spin out and a drift?

I thought 4wd was needed for RC drifts to really be pulled off....

Tail Out = Tail Slides out
Spin Out.. The rear Wheels try to push past the fronts resulting in a Spin..
Fishtail : Geting the Tail out Slide way left and Right with minimal Sideways Action..

Fishtailing is not Drifting .. it is the connection of Left and Right tail outs.. To be considered a Drift the Tail must Slide Parralel to the corner taken then travel Sideways

So a Fish Tail Drift is the connection of the Left and Right parralel Sliding

Drift = The Art of Tailing out and Keeping the Tail out while negotaiating a Set Course of Left and Right curves..



In the real world, Yes Drift can be done with a RWD Car in the RC World.. Next to impossible to pull off convincing Drift..

Awd IS needed for Completion and connection of Drifts..

i didnt say it was a good one, i just said i got it drift once or twice, then i started jumping it.

lol thanks for the clarification.

Now im gonna have to turn my warhead into a drifter!

LMAO!
