It will help you learn throttle control bro
ease into the speed to get going and swing out and control the power it works,but if your flooring the power from start it just goes bad lol

You can't get much speed with PVC and using a high-turn motor will mess-up the motor,

Just use the PVC to learn how to slide,

And then buy a ABS pipe to get a lil mo faster![8D]

PVC really doesnt work well for drifting. Get your self some tires made of ABS pipe, and youll have much better speed, control, and will all-around make drifting alot better.

Just check ebay for some abs tires. Theres a guy that make some nice ones that look like real tires. Search for Sushi Drift Tires (he offers free shipping all over the US...even Hawaii!)
I got some from him...they're pretty sick looking
