I was thinkin' about getting a nitro as my first drifter.
RS4 3 Evo+, was my choice.
If I get this can I run pvc tires? I'm 15 and still in school. I can't burn my tires off quick or else I won't be drifting at all.
Thanks.

Get ABS Tires because it has more grip than pvc. PVC don't really have any tractions at all. But just one thing, if your a nitro drifter try not to overheat your engine when drifting because you have to be at a certain rpm to have amount of torque.

i find that for nitro pvc and abs are pretty much the same. i've drifted both and both seems to drift alike the only difference is that the pvc wheels lasted longer than the abs wheels.

I have run both ABS and PVC on my RS4 Racer 2 and I seem to prefer the ABS a little more. With PVC, the wheels are spinning constantly to get anywhere, with ABS, they actually can grip just enough to get going or turn without have to have the wheels spinning constantly and they seem to respond better when trying to do techinical stuff.

Cool vid. The area where you drift at is way smaller than mine.
What's the setup on your car. i.e engine, pipe, etc.

No, I can't seem to find anywhere around here that sells ABC for some reason, or the people I talk to at the stores have no idea what they are talking about, so I bought them off of eBay.
