the rc drifting thread was looking dead so i was wondering whats a good chassis to start out without major modding. i've been hearing people been drifting with ta-05s would that be a good choice.

You don't need a great chasis to drift on. You're not trying to break speed records so a carbon fiber chasis isn't needed. Lots of people drift with the TT-01 fine.

i was just wondering cause people said that shaft is better for drifting than belt.

Druss

shaft probably is better from the stand point of it being stiffer and more instant response. I have no issues with using a belt for racing or speed but shaft might be better in drifting. I don't really know myself as all my drifters are shaft, never tried belt.

Hi,

Drivers having been having good luck with our E4FS/Drift and also the less expensive E4JS/Drift. Take a look www.wolfhobbies.com.

Good luck!

I think that the reason people like to say that a TA05 is good for drifting is because the motor is center-mounted, rather than rear-mounted. The idea is that the weight more evenly distributed front and rear. However, a TA05 is belt driven, not shaft.

I put drift rings on my TA05 this past weekend and fooled around with it in the parking lot for a while with good results, but I don't think it is particularly better than another electric on rings. [sm=50_50.gif]

I think you will have fun trying it with whatever chassis you choose.
