ABS/PVC Vs. Tires
Now i Know there probably been I thread on whats what but I',m just explaining basicly for first time drifters what could be better.
PVC he same as ABS but a tacky white plastic that lats really long but has little to no traction at all
ABS is the same a sPVS but most drifters use this because it looks the realist, but there is no traction but has lots of longetivity neither PVC or ABS require high power motors, Do not even try to go below 19-20 turns lower and your motor and speed control will get way to hot, and plus you do not need that kind of speed any way for the kind of traction it provides
Tires. ARe very realistic, but dont provide alot of longetivity, they have more traction just like real cars for getting to the corners. But they require high power motors, and various suspension sets ups to get them going.
my opinion- I've been rc drifting for almost 2 years now and I just made the switch to ABS because I was not going to spend a ton of money for a high power motor system because 19-20 motors don't cut it with regualr drift tires
I will sooon post my car because I always read the forums and never post here just like rcdrift or rcdriftclub

Thanks for the post, and good info. It should be interesting on how my BL Mamba works with my new ABS tires.....should be funny.
I have heard that ABS is not a slick as PVC, but I can not comment yet.
