I wish there was more on this forum. I was thinking of buying a tt01.

Take me for example, the last time I was into this hobby was over 7 years ago, hadn't messed with it since. When I stopped, Nimh batteries where not even out yet and if they were it was high price and top dollar for them. When I started looking in to this stuff again, I was down right amazed at what technology had done for this hobby!!!
I have always loved drifting, I have drifted real cars on closed course not very well mind you but I have done a little bit, with a M3 to a 325i and even a Camaro (didn't work as well as the BMWs), however I just can't afford to do that anymore. The tires . . . way to expensive, the gas . . . not even going to start, maintance . . . yeah, possibility of wreaking . . . um yeah.
HAHAHA I didn't even know you could drift a RC car till about 3 weeks ago when I was looking for drifting videos online from the BBC show Top Gear and I came across a D10 RC Drift video on youtube and I was simple memorized, it was awesome. So yeah I get my TT-01 chassis today and I look forward to getting into drift :-D because from my perspective, its cheaper, you can do it longer, and its safer, and it looks just as cool! OH and you don't *@&#% yourself when a drift goes wrong!

I just did buy a TT-01 from everything I had been reading in this forum and another forum on this website. I would say RC Drifting is a big thing, alot of people I work with are wanting to get into it, mostly because we are all car people and just can't afford to drive cars anymore.

RE: Rc drifting dying down
Dont think its dieing down its just getting more mainstream now like at events and clubs etc most people drift on there own or a group of friends and dont visit the events i think.
Alot of my friends have changed there cars back for speed so its not fun drifting on ur own so ive remodded mine back for speed again to do some racing

RE: Rc drifting dying down
I think people come to the forums for the most part to get their questions answered then take off. Then there are more "major" forums out there than before. It sorta waters down the population. Also, with rc drifting more popular than before, people hang out less at the forums to help out with the hobby...

RE: Rc drifting dying down
There are heaps of ppl drifting here in Oz. I think, maybe like me, they tend to stick to thier local forums and just come here to have a look at wot the rest of the world is doing and maybe dont post as much as on our local boards.

RE: Rc drifting dying down
Drifting will never die off!
Just as stated b4, drift setups are simple. Once you got it right, its hard to mess it up. No need to chat bout it...
The only thing I could come up with is how to drift faster. What can we do to make the car hook up a little better to go faster.
I bounce back and forth between electric and nitro drift. electric is more technical, tight corners, short tracks, and competition is larger. Nitro is on the edge, wicked fast with more emphsis on controlling your speed rather then getting in tight to the cones. And the smoke from a richly tuned carb makes it more realistic!
Im taking my GS storm and converting it to use road slicks and I'm gonna drift it too, lol.
Cheers!
