<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Okay guys just want to explore the rc drift scene...
I just got a set of <font color="#000000">HPI 4704 Mounted Super Drift Tire A Type/TE37 Chrome Wheels
3mm off set front and rear for my 190mm TT-01E and DF-03Ra just to mess around with not concerned with looks as I should have went with a wider off set in the rear.</font></span><font face="Verdana" color="#000000">
But my question is I am not getting enough speed to make a complete drift (I am running the stock Tamiya silver cans).
I plan on using this set on my Sprint 2 Flux which will probably give it the wheel spin it needs...
Question:what is the best off set to run on a 200mm body (Subaru Prova STI) on a 190mm chassis?
I am running 6mm front and 9mm rear on the Sprint 2 Flux currently for touring...but would 3mm front and 6mm rear look okay?

What do you mean by not getting enough speed?
Are you losing speed because of wheelspin?
I've fitted my stock Tamiya 540 motor to me Pro3 and it still drifts fine, you shouldn't really need a quick motor for drifting.
The Super drifts are gripier than the T-Drifts, so they should enable you to get some decent speed up before throwing the car into it's slide.

I am losing momentum while turning because it's entering turns fast enough...could it be my gearing? What is your current gear setup for your Tamiya motor on the Pro3?

Interesting so fill the differential box to capacity and just let the gears work their magic while I run it? HAHA
