Tape will rip VERY quikly on blacktop. In the garage it shud last longer being that its smooth concrete.
Thats mainly the reason y i stopd using it, I got tired of replacing it.

use pvc if you have a car that will work with it.. works alot better, and wont have to replace near as often.

actually, Abs hold's a longer, truer "drift". PVC likes to spin out, and wear faster.

Ask around for alternatives to ABS like PE or PPE

Yea i tried tape to but it just ripped off my yokomo hiper silvia s15 in minutes. Now i have invested in some yokomo drift tyres which are incredable.[img][/img]
