RE: how to drift?
 

LMAO... peetiewonder thats one USEFUL tip!

RE: how to drift?
 

you should tighten your front diff so that it gives u more control, and depending how tight ur back diff u may want to loosen

RE: how to drift?
 

how do i tighten it? im new to the hobby

RE: how to drift?
 

wat kinda car u got. and what kinda tires u using. for a nitro i reccomend the hpi type a radials.

RE: how to drift?
 

i got a hpi rs4 evo t-15 and i already got the hpi drift tires

RE: how to drift?
 

aight i would guess that you might just be giving it too much throttle. if u punch it to get it sideways, once it starts to pitch that way ease off the trigger just giving it enough gas to keep it sideways and counter steer.

RE: how to drift?
 

Sell it and get an Electric :D

Seriously though, If your Spinning out then you need to take it a tad more easy and apply some Opposite lock to counter act the Spin.

RE: how to drift?
 

lol nah it just went bam and wont start again lol anyways i recommend a tt-01 or a ta-05 ur choice iive seen prfessionals use these cars ase warm-up runs they are very good drifters:D

RE: how to drift?
 

lemme give u a lesson nitro takes time to build up torq electric already has torq at the begining cause it already their :] i suggest u buy a Hpi sprint to drift or a yokomo cause thier made to drift not like converting a touring car to drift and if you have extra money buy a HPI D-Box helps u drift easier :]

RE: how to drift?
 

oh and i have a HPI nitro rs4 T-15 when im drifting i use slicks but still electric kicks ass in drifting :]

RE: how to drift?
 

Lemme Give YOU a lesson. Most drift cars are just converted touring cars, or a chassis that just comes stock with drift tires. And NO you don't have to get a D-Box to drift good. Just takes practice.:D:D:D:D:D

RE: how to drift?
 

thx for alll the info guys but now i got another problem why wont my remote connect to the box to make the car turn and go faster it still has power going through the box i can tell because when i plug in my fail-safe it comes on anyone have a solution?

RE: how to drift?
 

hey GTB all im sayin if your really a noob use a d box and also converting a touring car takes time and money... and i dont use a d box to drift.... i practice fool :]

RE: how to drift?
 

I sell Yokomo only! and I will tell you the money You could spend on a Hot Bodies cyclone S with some shoegoo and ABS is still cheaper than any Yok drift chassis... You won't need any expensive dbox, just lock the diff, mount the ABS and your sidewayz...

dboxes are like fat chix...they might be fun, but You wouldn't want your friends to see ya riding one!

RE: how to drift?
 

A converted touring car is going to be way cheaper than a ''drift chassis''. I am converting a TA-05 to drift and it is going to be cheaper than the Yok. when I'm done. And the d-box is cheating anyway. So make sure you practice alot sinc your not using one.[X(]:)

RE: how to drift?
 

lol i just like to start fresh not converting or any crap lol but i still like a drift chassis :]

RE: how to drift?
 

DRIFT CHASSIS CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add Drift tires.
2. Get sideways.

RE: how to drift?
 

NO dont for get to lock the diffs lol..... hey do you guys lock all diff or only the front or the rear? i only lock the rear :]

RE: how to drift?
 

You start with the rear, then move to the front.
