On pavement the tires spen almost all the time will not let it get to top speed in straight line. what to do. New at this.All over the road.

RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
I'm pretty new myself and have found that you can't just expect the car to take off full throttle with no grip. You have drift tires on so your not going to get traction for speed. If you want that you need new tires that will give you grip. Drifting is not about speed from what I have seen and atleast for me I only use half throttle max..

RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
Welcome to drifting.
If the wheels aren't spinning you aren't drifting your driving |
RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
Thanks not sure to much about this any information is a plus
|
RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
If you want more speed, try different tires. Also just learned to control your throttle..

RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
less throttle is more with plastic tires, the less speed difference between the tires and the ground the more traction the car will have. my first stock tires on my xxx-s drift-r were a hard rubber compound and it was really hard to drift, then i tried some cut ABS pipe, and i broke a rim (not a strong setup on rough concrete). i now have some ones that have a plastic center with rubber sides, and came on really strong rims that have taken a serious beating as i like to go from sidewalk to parking lot as a transition from time to time lol. these are the ones i bought, dirt cheap too. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWNX:IT and he's got lots of other rim styles too.

Drifting is not easy, drifting takes a lot of practice, patience and good throttle control at the right place. A person who has mastered drifting will drift any drift tire. If you are new to drifting, do not waste money on different tires, looking for drift skills from a tire, a tire will not make you a good drifter. Different tire compounds will come into play later on as your skills increase.
Put out two cones about 5 to 8 feet apart and go around them in a figure 8 gradually, gradually, did I say gradually, increasing throttle as you go around the cone. If your car spins out decrease your throttle setting on your radio, try 50% setting. Some guys use the on off throttle technique, increasing and decreasing throttle smoothly and repeatedly as they go around the turn. Yes it is boring, but this drill will teach you control, that's what drifting is all about. If you are new to drifting, and are practicing in a small area on blacktop (asphalt) you can use ABS, if you find it's still too slippery RAIKOUDRIFTTIRES has different profiles of ABS for slip/grip ratio. I really recommend polyethylene, it is not rubber, and it is not solid hard plastic. It is a petroleum based resin material used in many applications for its non friction property. This tire will outlast ABS ten times over, you will wear down a ton of ABS tires before you wear down a poly tire. Yes every one has different preferences when it comes to tires because everyone has different skill levels and driving techniques, some break the rear early and rev high thru the sweep others enter the sweep and keep it by throttling on and off. But first, you need to learn how to drift then you will select a tire that will enhance your skill level and technique. So don't fall prey to the hype - it's not the tire, it's not the chassis, it's not the shocks or spring, it's the driver. Tires or tons of parts don't drift, drivers do. These items will do one of two things, enhance your skills or amplify your faults. If you have the drive to buy, put together and paint an RC car - you have the drive to master the drift! Best to you and keep practicing! RAIKOU DRIFT TEAM |
RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
yes i totally agree with you as i only started a couple months ago and have learned quite abit, practice, practice, practice. i have no 1way diff, just a locked rear with some hard tires (they must be the poly style like your talking about as they haven't worn in the slightest over the last 15+ packs) in my xxx-s and it slides around pretty good. theres a school near by with lots of crazy curb lines around its parking lot i practice sliding around, going up and downhill etc. its coming along, and i find it way more fun than just buzzing around at high speed and breaking things :D

RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
YOU THINK THAT IS SLICK, DRIFT AT THE LOCAL ICE SKATING RING, IF THEY WILL LET YOU, NEGATIVE TRACTION!!!!

RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
ICE DRIFTING - sounds Canadian to me! :) Gotta be a lot of fun.
|
RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
looks like a HSP car?
I assume its brushed then? if you bought it as a drift car? does it come with plastic "tyres"? I can drift! lmao :p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnLPGHlIcEA |

Nope, It's a brushless motor the KV3300 up grade, Had the drift gyro on it took it off works a lot better. Blast to drift with.
Thanks for all the help. Keepem commeing. |
RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
try wrapin electric tape around the tires. its not "professional" but it works and its totaly jerry riged so its just bringin out the spirit of drifting!</p> |

RE: Dift car out of control on pavement

RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
yes gyro drifting is gay, its like training wheels.

RE: Dift car out of control on pavement
Skateboard Drifting anyone? it takes two people and two boards but its fun! I don't know how to get vids off my I-pod so I cant post any but I've got a couple but its very very hard you have to have a long board and another board that is shorter so you can do it though but i like to drift under my long board as I'm driving my car the only way its possible though is if you have this specific long board its a composite sector 9 long board that has an arch to it and it only slightly flexes downward so I barley have enough clearance for my car which makes this extremely hard but fun!
