Nice looking shell Any chance of a chassis shot I don't know much about Yokomos yet (Can't afford one anyways, haha)

Ya I agree can't afford one of those

this was today!

Thanks Aries326. RWD drift is sure far from being impossible. I have been messing with the tires and setup constantly and have been making plenty progress. I should have another vid up soon.

How long did it take you to get the hang of the rwd drifting.

I have been working on RWD drifting more seriously for about a year now. Before that I was CS AWD drifting so getting into RWD wasn't that much different. My RWD is not much harder to drift then my CS AWD to be honest. Once you get the setup dialed or close to it, the two are very close in feeling. I have to say that if you don’t know exactly what every adjustment does on a chassis then don’t even bother.. But if you have a good understanding of it all then go for it!
I have learned allot in this last year in terms of setup.. For example the other day I put some wider offset front wheels on and that changed the behavior dramatically on my RWD when I did not expect any change at all. It would be hard to explain it here but I will say it has to do with the caster angle and a wider wheel base (like how a car with a good angle of caster will bank from side to side as you turn the wheels). If anyone is looking for a challenge then definitely try RWD. I hope more ppl try it out.

I had to drift with rwd drifting the other day when my cvd's broke in the front, it's like you said just like CS but harder

Here is a new body im working on. didnt turn out like i wanted it but still didnt do to bad. just waiting on my lights to arrive. not bad for my second rally/drift body. i think

Angel Eye for front light
and tail light is using backlight board to build a better lighting effect

Oh man, that is a sweet bimmer.
I've always had a sweet spot for those....
Congrats!
Great work on the lightbuckets too!

That looks awesome great job

nice work!

Not really true. Ive seen cars running very high power motors and exponential throttle. A simple tap of full throtle was like a clutch kick in a real car, immediate slide but still controlled.

Here is my newly finished Hpi Cup Racer. Can't wait to get it out and see what it can do!

Here is a pic of my two latest drifters.....Camaro and Mustang.....LP wheels and tires.....Custom Paint Jobs.

Pretty cool. I want both of those shells! I wanna do a Justin Pawlak Mustang and a Conrad Grunewald Camaro

this is my first drifter a redcat lighting epx i am going to chage the shocks, towers the hubs. the tires are raikou dxpe (love them) going to change the body to a benz

Looks good, I hear lots of good things about those Raikou tires, everyone who uses them can't praise them enough, guess I'll have to get some of them in the future

What Benz you going for? Don't see many Mercedes' in drift Lots of BMWs though.

@coach122845 - loving that mustang! I want to do one, I'm thinking about cutting out the grill area and insert a screen mesh and installing off road LED light assemblies in there.

@driftingdragon - my very first drift car was a redcat, like the color scheme on yours! I see you have the DXPE low profiles, yeah man those things last forever! I use those on polished concrete, and I use the D68's on asphalt - great tires.

woody_294 yea i am going to use the Mercedes-Benz AMG C32 Body. going to paint it as dark grean as i can, goin to put some mirros and intercool and a alloy spoiler and crome muffler. am going to make all my decales. hopefully it come out like i want. post some pics when its all done

kstmRYD yea i love the dxpe,i use them on ruff concrete, polished concrete, and asphalt.. i have'nt even tuched the d68's yet going to soone

Hi guys. Im new to the drift scene and i LOVE IT!. Im about 80% done with my first drifter, its a HPI Sprint 2 flux with a Skyline GTR body. I bought the Tamiya tuner kit, and with a little "creativeness" i got most of the parts to work ie. muffler,inter cooler ect. But the disk brakes they supplied would not play well with the sprint 2. Does anyone know any good "brakes" i could use that would fit? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

wow....ive been sitting here for about an hour, going through this trhead PAGE BY PAGE and there are some amazing cars in it, and some real hardcore bashers.....but....wow

Hey Chilly, a few people will tell you that the disc breaks are more for show then real use. They have a tendency to not allow the wheel to stay tight and you may find yourself chasing after your rims. I put them on my Civic body and thought this time I had a set that would stay tight on the chassis, but after 10 minutes or so, BAM there goes a rim. So more show than go buddy.

yea thats the same problem i was having, i just couldnt get the wheel on tight enough. well i guess its not ment to be if thats a common issue. thanks for the reply.

chillymostly,

I got some Genki brake discs last year, and they are on my VDF - Haven't had a problem with them, my wheels are still on tight. They are made of aluminum, and as joeyhatch11 says, they're for show and not much else.
As bling they look great, but don't do much beyond that. If you're still wanting discs, the Genki ones fit better than what youcurrently or are wanting, to use.
