tc4 drifting

A stock motor is good for drifting because of the torque. If you want more speed get a 19t maybe. I think drifting with a 12t coming from a stock will be very difficult.

If you want fast drifting and u have large space to run it in(no to mention smooth) u can probally get a 16t double or triple,
Make sure they have bearings,
But also remember that ur run times will also decrease with the new motor,
also what tires are u using?

i used my tc4 as a drift car for a while. it drifted great but i put it back to what it was made for, which is a touring car. i got a tt01 and built it as a drifter. it works well. not as as much adjustablity as the tc4 but all you really need is a locked rear diff and abs tires and ur set. a good motor would help. ive used a trinity co27 27t motor converted to ball bearings and it has plenty of power and long run times cause its not a modified. practice makes perfect my friend.... thats just my 2 cents....

I used a Team Orion Method R 15x2T in my Sprint 2.. Offers good top end but still responsive enough to do technical Slides..
I am gonna try the 19x2T in the same Series and see how it goes..
Both the Tamiya TZ and RZ motors are a great choice..for Dorifto
What ESC does you TC4 run????
This will be helpful in choosing a Windage to suite your car

All the colors just gave me a headache. j/k. Aaaaaaaaanywho, a 27t motor is fine for drifting. I started with a 35t. 12t is gonna shoot you into oblvion somewhere if you don't take baby steps first. That's a 15 turn difference. That's like going from a Civic EX to a stock Viper in like a day.
Anywhere from 19t-35t will get you sideways. It all depends what you're comfortable with. Another option is brushless. Novak SS5800 is nice from what I've heard. But, you can save money by keeping what you got.

A method R 15t would be perfect for driftin, as magnet said,
also you can get a Brushless and tune it down a bit for slidin and up for racing if you do both!
