im a new driver when it comes to drifing. I had a Traxxas 4-tec electric but i am now wondering what would be a good beginner driffting car. i was looking at some other posts about the "drift kingg" and to me that doesnt look to good. Im actually looking at somehting faster and more advanced than that. do you think i can drift with the traxxas 4tec? if so what would i need to do? what is another drift car that could go for less than $150????? if anmyone can PLEAZ help me that would be great : )

if you just want to try drifting with your traxx to see how it drifts i suggest wraping your tyres in
electrical tape and if you like it, make some tyres from abs or 2 inch inner diameter pvc pipe which you can get from your local hardware store. there are other threads explaning in detail how to do this.
happy drifting.

make your self some tires using ABS (plumbing pipe) Theres a thread still on the first page, where the guy explains how to do it, and even made a video.
