if you just want to try drifting with your traxx to see how it drifts i suggest wraping your tyres in
electrical tape and if you like it, make some tyres from abs or 2 inch inner diameter pvc pipe which you can get from your local hardware store. there are other threads explaning in detail how to do this.
happy drifting.

make your self some tires using ABS (plumbing pipe) Theres a thread still on the first page, where the guy explains how to do it, and even made a video.
