RE: your drift tires!
For me, ABS and hard plastic tires like the T-Drifts don't have enough grip, especially
since I do a lot of high speed drifting and I drift with a Nitro TC3+, which has a lot more
power than most electic cars.
If you're running a nitro or a high powered electric,
and/or you like the ability to do high speed drifts, or like the extra control from a little more
grip, I'd recommend HPI Stage-D (slick) or A-Type(treaded). These tires seem more
realistic also since they actually have some grip like real drift tires (which are actually
sport street tires).
If you're doing low speed drifting, or wanna slide reallly easily, then I'd recommend T-Drifts,
they aren't that expensive, should be better than a home-made abs tire and
they should still last a loong time.

you must be driving REALLY hard to cut through ABS tires.. or did you swap them every ten runs?

I use HPI T-drifts, the drift WAY better than my ABS, and last twicw as long.

Rockit181 I have a mamba Max 5700 in my car, it keeps up with my friends TC3+ with a .18 in it. If you drift with a stock tc3 then I have more power than you. I run type t's cause then give my car low speed grip, but are still VERY controllable at high speeds.
