I have mine set up for carpet racing. To make it drift, all I do is raise the susp. alittle, and stick some ABS tires on. I use my practice body, becasue its already banged up:D

yeah man, mine drifts great, theres a thread a few ways down on the drifting page that shows all of the settings you need, for some reason mine doesnt have that good of a turning radius, but besides that, i love it, good quality, at a low price.

Just wondering here since Im a new owner of a t-spec, how many of you guys use the rear swaybar when drifting? Would it be any easier to drift without it? Right now Im using electrical tape over the stock tires because they wear too quickly on asphalt and I dont want to have to keep buying replacement tires so I just wrapped these about 3 times with electrical tape and its been working fine. Im just wondering if that swaybar is making a difference or not. Im going to have to make a gear cover for it soon as I get my rally tires. [>:]

when i bought mine used, it didnt have a rear sway bar. I asked the dude at the LHS if i need it, and he said no

i cant remember where i heard it but i heard the sway bar makes the rear more stable in return making it harder to slide the rear out

This is exactly what it says on tower hobbies... >.>

REQUIRES: Radio: 2-channel with 1 Servo
Radio Batteries: (8) AA size
Speed Control: Electronic, of modelers choice
Motor: 550
Battery: 6-or 7-cell with standard connector Stick pack
Charger: AC/DC timed or peak for 6-cell battery
Body: 190mm On-Road Sedan
Paint: Polycarb Spray Paint

That's just to run the damn thing. Aside from that, if you want to drift, you'll need drifting tires(via. ABS pipe or PVC pipe or Company-made tires) and you'll need to lock the rear differential.

yeah, because your looking at teh 97$ veersion, with nothing. if u spend 20 more bucks, u get a motor, battery, body, tires. all u need is a servo, esc and a radio

Whoa I just noticed. It says you need a 550 motor? Is that a typo or something?
