exactly. im going to get an xmod evoloution. when i go to china sometime, ill buy a hobby grade elec 4WD shaft driven.

grunho

alright then if you already decided that you are going to 4wd at least change your name so people don´t get confused

driftdriftdrift

My Feedback: (1)

seriously dude dont buy an xmod. you'll want that money later on to get a 1/10th

Auslide

Agreed: 1:10th is a Far Better Size and At least You will be able to get a Wider Range of CHassis, Parts and be able to attend Drift meets..

We Look forward to seeing what you end up getting..

There is Nothing Wrong with Nitro, but for Drift they are not the Best.
They require more Matenience, More room and You cant attend late night Drift meets or most Indoor meets with a Nitro

Electric Shaft Drive is the Only way to go for Car park meets and Drift meets..
Just make Sure they have no Exposed Gears like a TB-02 or TT-01 or TL-01 less Chance of a Pebble Ruining a Days Sliding

ill still drift or tail out with 2wd so its not important to change my name. x mods also have aftermarket upgrades like stacked FET's carbon fiber chassis, lipolys, alum wings, aluminum diffs, aluminum parts for the wheel links and billet shocks, drift tires(not radioshak ones) motor upgrates(20t to 40t) turbos, aluminum steering links, better servos for steering, battery holders, AWD aluminum driveshafts, nylon gears, sheilded and unsheilded bearings, AWD "dogbones", stiffer springs, etc.

helloooooo , it was a joke ease up bro

2WDrifter, Xmods are still crap, unless you upgrade the electronics to something proper. Even an Iwaver board, or preferrably a Mini-Z board will do.

I'm still working on my MR02, the setup goes as follows now:

Front tires: drift, sanded down, adapted to Square inch-ups
Rear tires: GPM 55
Wheels: Square inch-up for MR02

Front spring: Atomic disk damper spring, red (medium)
Rear t-plate: 3racing medium
Rear damper: Atomic disk damper, duralube, green (soft) springs both sides

Differential: GPM 12 ball
Motor: hybrid, uses Hyper dash 2 armature

I'm taking short video clips each run, so that I might have a long, well-edited video to show you guys by the time school starts. I can keep the tail out at 40 degrees or more, for 10 feet or more, so I know I can do this. If I had more space to run, I'd bring out the mod car and go 20 feet each drift; but right now the mod car's useless.

2WDrifter

they make lots of aftermarket electronics packages for those things. just go to www.atomicmods.com

Which shows you've never had one... Xmods have 32 steering steps (vs. 512 in a proper system) and 5 functional throttle steps. Completely useless for good drifting. You need hobby-grade electronics from the get go to make an Xmod a decent RC. You probably should get a Mini-Z AWD if you're into 1/28 scale drifting.

2WDrifter

the board upgrades will make transitions on the steering and throttle smoother and anyway, i drive on full throttle and full steering(tapping the controls of course)

yo man ebay, i got my subaru impreza TT01 RTR for 90 bucks lol

2WDrifter, you just won't understand until you get one. That crap from Atomicmods is only good for hotter motors and power, and wasting cash on larger wires. It doesn't help throttle smoothness, nor steering smoothness.

And if you drive full throttle and full steering all the time, you're not going to get anywhere with drifting. Sorry if I came across harsh, but there are just certain things that won't work in RC'ing. And certain things (like Atomicmods) that you shouldn't waste your time and money with.

Listen to the guy above me and get the $90 TT01... by the time you get an Xmod capable of precise drifting, it'll cost you over $100.

Color0 I can drift at full throttle with my 1/10 scale tt-01d. Sorry if you meant a smaller scale than that. But it is possible bud. I have a vid to prove it.

Neon_guy

If you really wanted to sell it, you would've posted a link to it.

2WDrifter

i dont hold the throttle on full ALL the time. i constantly blip the throttle to full during a turn.

color0

emx6, I meant at 1/28 scale. It's near-impossible to get the line right with an Xmod (which I've been drifting for 2 years+) if you pull full-throttle 100% of the time. It's definitely not efficient, though that's not exactly what most people look for.

All I really needed to know was that you guys blip/modulate the throttle at some point during the turn; but I can guarantee (unfortunately) that it's nowhere compared to the work one has to do with an RWD drift.

Thats what I figured just wanted to make sure.

hey, ive been tryin to drift my buggy (schumacher cougar 2wd) for a while now, i ducktaped the back tyres added all sorts of weight and balance setups, locked the diff (that ended up in the snapping of a driveshaft lol) and i can make it POWERSLIDE beautifully but the front end wond drift so i reckon its pretty damn near impossible lol, brilliant fun tryin though

em x 6 racer

That was worth bringing up a 3 month old thread.

Spartan-Drifter

lol racer long time no see.

adam-69

yeh i know llf but i was bored so heyyy lol

tha_rockr

i think that it is posible to drift 2wd but i havnt tottaly masterd it.
i got a kyosho 2wd electric car and its got plenty of power.
i put a new motor on it i think fireball and i just tape the trottlle and it spins out
i dont think it will be posible to inter comps its just way to much .theres almost no way to keep the front wheels in front of the back wheels around a big coner.itll slide out right out from under neth you
but thats about all i kno so keep trying we will show them some day

grunho

Again ????Damm, give it up, I'm tired of debating in here... the ones that wanna drift with 2wd do it and then show us (i cant cause my broke the transmission []) the others just drift as they want and post as well, put apart of that please let this thread die (cause its very old and its suffering . just kidding.

KillerKiwi

I got a $600 1/8 scale 4wd Losi Muggy and I am 14 years old. If your serious about this hobby you should mow lawns and wash cars for a year or two until you can buy an RC car that is of high quality. I couldn't settle for anything but the best.

Spartan-Drifter

this post has nothin to do with the topic buddy. Try reading and then talk about it. BTW I THINK YOU GOT THE WRONG SECTION IF YOUS TALKIN BaT a MUGGY. This is the driftin section cuz. Go back where you belong.[8D][>:][8D]
