ABS has more a bit more grip than PVC, and it looks more realistic...

NONE! [:@]

With nitro, and ABS, your going to rev your engine to much. (Overheating Issues) Plastic tires dont cut if for nitro. It will feel if you where sliding on ICE which isnt really drifting.

HardCompound tires should do the trick. HPI sell D-stage tires that work really well.

Stay away from ABS and PVC for Nitro cars.

Huh!, your engine will only rev as much as your throttle finger/thumb will allow dude (if you're doing it right)

True, but the track type plays a role in it too. Longer conners take more trottle.
