FireStriker

You can drift with any 4wd rc,

Nitro technique is just a bit different!

HPIracer4

ya i plan on drifting with my rs4 3 this year. u can either buy drift tires, or make your own out of pvc/abs. im actually in the process of making pvc tires for my micro rs4.

sweet any hop ups what are good

HPIracer4

for the rs4 -3 , hop ups are more or less what you want. some like the carbon fiber upper deck, some dont. i have the carbon fiber deck, and the rechargeable receiver battery (instead of AA). thats pretty much all i have done at the moment i think. but if you switch anything to aluminum, just remember its going to add weight and is going to bend, unlike the stock plastic that will give. carbon fiber i personally think is the way to go, but on some parts you just are stuck with aluminum.

FireStriker

^^^^^I agree![8D]

ok thanx again but can a savage drift

itsnotskidding

haha.. i attempted that when i first got my x... yes it can, but not very well, far to much torque... was running an o.s30vg max at the tme..lol

but the ride hight stops the bigger drifts, you need 1000w diff oil, poll pipe savage wheels grip to much...

the trouble with trucks drifting is its more of a skid..lol, the a drift, and it looks rubbish...lol

carmatic1

to make a monster truck like the savage drift, you'll have to set it up as offroad-unworthily as you possibly can but still keep enough power going thru it to break traction

FireStriker

Wont the less diameter of the wheels cause overheatin!

Does drifting generally overheat nitros? I mean your cooling head wont be getting nearly as much airflow drifing as it would if you were getting some real speed.

FireStriker

Most of the Time!,

People mostely try to lean out there engine for air flow, It can be dangerous!

nitro_man

were do i fined drift tires,the carbon fiber upper deck and battery pack guys

4-tec

I have a Jato 3.3 and a 4-tec 3.3.. I ll tell u what the 4-tec will eat it from the start and at the finish with ease... Only if u can get it to hook!!!

Yeah I run my engine a bit rich for drifting.
But watch your clutch..

FireStriker

Also lower percent of nitro will help,

I think!

magnat

15% Should be fine..

FireStriker

^^^YUP,

even at 20 should be good!
