You can drift with any 4wd rc,

Nitro technique is just a bit different!

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.

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

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

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.
