Help please.
 

Hai, as some of you no i am getting a nitro rc car and i was wondering if i could use abs tires on them to drift, i no you can you them on electrical rc cars, but nitro cars, will it work, will it be any different ? thanks.

RE: Help please.
 

You can.

RE: Help please.
 

yea but since they are most agile, youre gonna need those hpi drift radials

RE: Help please.
 

I drift nitro, and it wont work very well. your much better off with a set of HPi stage D tires.

RE: Help please.
 

ok, but i got no money so haha, do you think electrical tape will work alrigt:P

And with pvc piping, i dont understand how it works, do you glue them onto the rims? if so how do u get htem off lol ?

RE: Help please.
 

A HPI RS4 will Drift good on Drift Radials..

Your gonna risk over heating if You use ABS/PVC on a Nitro as it will be reving its head off..

RE: Help please.
 

ok, well ill just use electrical tape because i cant afford anything else rigt now.

RE: Help please.
 

i dont get it.. ive got people saying that it will be fine they use it, and others say that nah it will **** up your car i dont no who to believe lol..

RE: Help please.
 

Drift radials=nitro plastic pipe=electrics

RE: Help please.
 

meh... some people do piping on nitros, ima jsut use electric tape, hows that work ?

RE: Help please.
 

well if you dont want our help, do whatever you want. Its your car. we are just telling you how to drift the right way with nitros.

RE: Help please.
 

all i said how does electric tape work, cause i dont want to order some wheels worth like $40 ? ten pay $70 for shipping k lol..

So will electric tape work alright ?

RE: Help please.
 

Like I said before "Its your car, do whatever"

RE: Help please.
 

e-tape works pretty simply: you wrap about 10 times around each tire in the middle of it the tire or wrap the whole tire (i wrap the whole tire) its like slicks but slicker. Works pretty well. if you get a nice surface then the tape can last for a while (ex: smooth concrete, carpet, fresh tarmac)

RE: Help please.
 

Sparten, im asking for help, if i didnt want your help then i would " do what i like ".

Any ways, driftdrift, e-tape should be fine for a HPI Nitro RS4 3 Evo RTR on smooth surfaces?

Cheers

RE: Help please.
 

Hey We are jus showin you that E-tape,or even ABS and PVC, for a nitro drifter, is gonna burn that engine up. Now we gave you a fair warning, my friend. If you want to do your E-tape, thats fine wit me.

And for your sake, if you ever read a few posts down, it says that nitros cost more money to drift,so. and drift tires for nitros are never cheap. Keep in mind about dat engine.....hmmmhmmmm[>:]....Keep in mind

RE: Help please.
 

Hey spartan chill. he was jus askin a simple ?. ''EWOO'' try out the e-tape n let us kno how it worx out for u. Others wit nitros mite wana try it out if theyre on a tight budget. Good Luck wit it

RE: Help please.

good vid for someone barely puttin any gas on that. Have you seen HPI's Stage D drift vid? I mean dont get me wrong thats excellent for a nitro drifting on a small surface. But you gas that 4tec on pvc,in an open area.....whoooooooo, thats it for the engine. If you wanna nitro drift without gunnin it, Im sorry I didnt understand at first. As long as you drift without gunnin the nitro on pvc, youll be fine. For a nitro budget drifter, that was damn good
