What Surface are you driving on ??

For Drift it must be smooth as a babies Bum.. (or as smooth as possible)

What Battery pack are you using... for Drifting I recommend any Battery rated above 3000mah..

RE: needed drift help
 

ummm....im using a super sport 1500 batery pack
ummm..ive tried it on a parking lot and it just wont slide

RE: needed drift help

The Carpark surface may be too rough.. or the Tamiya Drift Tyres are too grippy.. a Change to either A polypipe tyre or a HPI drift tyre may be needed...

RE: needed drift help
 

like what type of HPI tyre

RE: needed drift help
 

i hear the type T is a good drift tire

RE: needed drift help
 

hpi type is a good tire. abs is good for starters.

RE: needed drift help
 

ya cuz i got tamiya type d

RE: needed drift help
 

type ds are like freakin drag tires. waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to grippy lol

RE: needed drift help
 

hey SHADOWnyc1993,

got the same chassis but not the body...change the tires, i was playing with my stock tires and didn't have much fun with it...just wont slide.
go to home depot and buy yourself an ABS pipe(black in color[$6], pvc is white), i also bought a pipe cutter at SEARS and after a bit of tuning, your car will drift like there's no tomorrow :D
just make sure to sand the edges of the pipe to round.
btw, im using the tamiya stock motor and esc...

RE: needed drift help
