how to drift a 4wd
 

i put some pvc tape on my 4wd wheels the other day and it was wicked. i was driftin like hell.

any tips on stopping my car from spinning out.

by the way to get more oversteer, stiffen your back suspension

dont hit the throttle all the way when you start out and coming out of a turn.

Tape tires are about 25. bux and use only one ring per tire instead of 2 rings, RED

adjust your camber and soften your front suspension. as per drifting an awd....you only drift awds because it is insane to drift a 2wd rc. to keep it from spinnin out, you need to not hit the corner so hard with the turning. you want to let the back swing itsself out there, you dont need to throw it out :D

Some if these have already been mentioned but this is what they do with full size cars:

Increase rear roll stiffness (stiffen or install sway bar, use stiffer springs)

Reduce front roll stiffness (soften or remove sway bar, use softer springs)

Reduce front toe in or create toe out

Reduce rear downforce (reduce spoiler angle of attack)

Increase front downforce (install spoiler or increase angle of attack)

Use wider front tires or a softer compound

Use a harder compound on rear tires

Consider adjusting CG fore of aft
^^ Experiment here ^^ on full size cars ones with rear engines tend to have more oversteer than those with front engines. Obviously you can't just move the engine but consider radio gear, batteries, etc.

If you want to try to drift around an entire track you can do what some people do. I don't know if it works with RC cars but works with full size ones. I will ruin your tires and may not work but set it up for only front wheel drive (if possible) and set the brake to drag a bit on the rear. Then just drive and try to keep it under control.
