i have an E10 and was wondering what i can use to counter steer i have the stock drifts tires on and a set of super drifts too what would work..\

i wanna try mixing and see what will happen so any info is good!!




Thanks Jerms

So far there are only counter steer mods available for the TT01 and MR4TC. For the E10, there isn't anything yet.

Counter steer really isn't that great anyway. It's harder to drive and it's only for looks just focus on other things instead.

ok thanks man

I'm in the process of experimenting with the E10 to achieve CS. Just to be cheap try either locking your rear diff or buying a locking/spool diff for the rear and leave the front stock and your rear end should kick out more.

I am new to drifting and under stand what counter steering is (turn the tires in the opposite direction your sliding) but what are you guys talking about? I have a sprint 2 flux and when I start a drift I counter steer...if you don't you just spin in a circle. I did lock my rear diff's but to me that would be the first thing everyone would want to do.

Well grim RC cars drift a bit differently than real cars. Unless you do some modification/setup/tuning to make it countersteer you will will not get that realistic appearance while getting sideways. Otherwise rc drifting requires minimal steering input.

ahh just for looks...Got it, I can see my front wheels counter steering but I hear you its not fully cranked like a real car.

Counter steer or "CS" is when the rear wheels rotate at a higher rate of revolution than the front wheels, for example two revolutions in the rear to one revolution in the front. With this setup the rear literally wants to pass the front so any slight maneuver in steering will break the rear loose.

It is extremely difficult to master, especially for new ones to the sport. It is not only for looks, it is what the name implies "counter" steering. When you go into the slide you need to counter just like a real car, remember driving school "skid on ice always keep wheels pointed in the direction of the road." Well this is exactly what you do in CS while maintaining a good amount of throttle.

If you run on layouts with a lot of straight aways CS is quite difficult, fast take off's are also challenging, in fact the whole CS is difficult. But when you master it, it looks hot. More guys in our club are CS'ing and in our videos especially in slow motion you can see those front tires totally maxed in the turn, looks like a car commercial.

So to make it CS you need to modify the drivetrain gearing front and back, and increase steer angle - "more ackerman" so you don't do donuts. Sprint 2 chassis are easily(well not exactly easily) modified to CS by increasing rear center pulley size to increase rear wheel revs and increase front diff pulley to 39T to decrease front wheel revs.

If you've mastered 50/50 (rergular) drift and want something a bit more challenging CS may be for you.

Well put kstmRYD

The Sprint 2 has been done I saw it on another forum CS is cool but Im content with stock

While it is harder to drive etc, it does look amazing, and it is fun to need more skill to contriol the car...

Drifting is all about the appearance, angles, counter steer, speed, clipping points , a pure spectator pleasing show! Counter steering wil make people go :O
