Default Changing drifting to touring and back?

As far as I know I can just buy a new set of tires for my SPRINT2Sport drift edition like touring tires....but is that all, I mean as far as I know my drift car is just the normal touring car with a different motor and different tires, but thats just me, please tell me what I gotta do to get it to just run touring, lol I am buying a new F1 racer and I want to race em with the same 15T motor (I have 2) so....what do I have to do?

get some sorex racing tires and slap them on. thats pretty much all you have to do. the drift just has the drift tires and different body

Im not familiar with the sprint2 drift edition but here's what i would do: try sticky tires first and see how it runs, if it still spins out easily in a corner then i would start to look into changing up the diffs. typicaly, you'd want the front diff to be kinda loose and the rear a bit tighter (not locked). if it's still not hugging the corner so well i'd look into the supension changing mount positions, spring stiffness, shock oils. for me when ever i run with sticky tires, i set the suspension to a softer setting...works great with my losi xxx-s. good luck with yours!

the sprint 2 and drift are the same exact chassis. the difference is the tires that are sold with them.
How long the tires will last is dependent on how you drive it and what compound you get. go to hpi's web site and you can compare the different slicks and treaded tires they have.
