abs....
 

daym...drifting with abs tires is way different than drifting with rubbers on a dusty area.(nitro car by the way) i slapd on some abs wheels and the car juss spun out all over the place. i noticed that oversteer is a big problem cause you cant get out of it with counter steering or wit throttle. juss thought you guys should know my experience with the new set of tires.. (over steer i think was due to the sharp edges so maybe sanding it down would help.

practice practice practice. and try to use less steering input and more throttle to control the slide. It does work, you just have to get used to it

If you're using a 4WD car, steer into the Drift and feed the power in, the front wheels will steer it in the direction you want

Drifting requires MUCH more throttle input than grip racing, your steering will be lock to lock at times so you will need all the throw you can get, don't forget you don't have to use it just because it's there!!!

Don't bother sanding the ABS, it'll roughen up, but make sure you set the camber to 0° all round, soft front springs, slightly harder at the rear and thin oil all round - 30ish (it's nowhere near as important as the spring, the Yokomo Drift doesn't even use oil!)

Don't jam the throttle open/shut/open, thats for grip racing, Drifting is skill and finesse, everything happens slowly, and so does your input - it's just everything happening at once that's all

Try Drifting round a coke tin with the nose pointing at the tin, try to go right round it, then use 2 tins and try to Drift in a figure 8, you'll get to the point where you can initiate a drift and be able to control it with no steering input whatsoever, you'll be able to take your hand off the wheel and adjust your shades whilst she's still Drifting ;)
