yes ID, make sure you cut the pipe 2mm wider so it protects your rims!

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

I'll remeber to do that. Im trying to contact the peole at that website, and figure out what the differences between Class C,D,E, and T are. I also need to know whether they ship to the US, and i hope they dont only sell pipe in 6M lengths. If they do im sure the shiping is gonna be astronomical. And theres now way im gon a need all that pipe. With 6M of pipe i can make 113 tires!! Ill probably cut it in half, and sell it on ebay to some other Rc drifter who cant find Abs pipe anywhere.

you could also try TYCO WATER SYSTEMS, they are worldwide.

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

I looked there, and didnt see anywhere to order ABS, just information on ABS.

RE: PVC vs ABS?

which one of those will help me out? I also have a felling that they dont really deal with customers, but sell massive amounts of piping for construction ect.

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

GOD DAMIT!!! i gt a reply from the guys over at pipestock, and they have exactly what i need, but they only ship to the UK! You guys keep telling me to order form indivdual people who sell abs tires, already on the wheels. Theres no way im doing this, unless its on an actual website, not a person to person transaction. But where are all those guys getting their ABS pipe! Ive looked, ande if any product is used this much, its gotta be for sale on thw web.

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

find a message board with some florida drifters and ask where they got their abs from, or ask if you can buy some off of them.

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

How hard is it honestly to pick up the phone and try a few places in your area? There are still some things that the web cant help you with you know. I sat on my butt for 3 weeks *****ing and moaning that I couldnt find ABS anywhere, then the first place I drove to here in Perth had it in stock and it cost me like $3 a meter.

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

Ok ive called every signle plumbing shop in a 10mile radius (its like 20) not a single one has any ABS, let alone 2''. Ive been trying to find toher Miami drifters, but i've had no luck

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

Ask them for Black 2 Inch Internal Diametre Poly pipe..
usually used in Irrigation down here in Australia..

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

Woo Hoo thank soo much c9VEV. I found the one and only place in my area that might have the pipe. It may be like an hour, and a half drive, but hey its worth it. Im wondering if i were to go, and i dont really wanna ever have to go there again. whats a reasnoble amount of ABS o buy. I have no idea how long these tires last.

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

id get 5 mtrs this should give u about 100+ tyres

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

Thats alrite mate, if you got 3 metres that would see you at least 25 sets of tires, unless you gonna be driftin 24/7 that should last you about 6 months even if you wore out a set a week which I dont reckon you would. Enjoy your road trip man;)

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

If you don't want to go very far look here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/12-R-C-DRIFTING-...QQcmdZViewItem

I am NOT selling or know anything about this site, I only found it if anyone still needs these.

The tires last a LONG time.

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

these look the goods, they apear to be made from ABS plastic...27 bucks for the lot shipped to Oz is not to bad....

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

question... ok .. so i don't have a drifting car, but, how would u get the wheel off of the car in the first place? i have a nikko car here with me, and it seems like the tire is attached to the car. how do i get it off?

RE: PVC vs ABS?
 

Well, nikko is hobby quality, so you probably cant take the wheels off. If you wanna drift get yourself a basic hobby level car. the most popular is the Tamiya TT-01.
