Getting used to ABS....

Thread Starter

Hi guys,
My TT-01 is currently stock. However, today I've installed some ABS tires but noticed that the wheels kinda spins a lot without gaining much speed. However, it's almost a speed-demon once sideways! Before, I simply taped my stock tires with electrical tape, the drifts were a lot shorter but the car was faster on the straightways. Should I just drift more until the ABS gets more rough? Will it get faster then?
BTW, I drift on a new-paved street so maybe that's a factor in reducing speed?

from my knowledge there're 2 tpe of ABS in Home Depot( i not sure it's the same thing in other store), anyway there is 2-feet long and 10-feet long. From my experience the 2-feet one will drift better cuz it has more grip than the 10-feet one. try that mate
