Default Is it possible to Drift an Evader?

Is it possible to do some drifting with the Nitro Evader? Would sedan wheels fit onto it? then id need 26mm wheels + 2 inch diameter ABS Tubing right?

I know this thread is old but I am about to get a Nitro Rustler and wanna know if trucks can drift... It'd be a helluva spectacle in the neighborhood I think. Any advice other then what's mentioned here? Has anyone actually succeeded in drifting a Nitro truck?

you have to have 3WD in order to drift RC's if you make the rear wheels slippery on an evader all you will do is doughnuts and spin out

hey that sounds like way more fun than corners and jumps, just wearing out tires.... are you guys really interested in this? how can your engine stay cool if your not moving just burning tires?

you aint burning rubber, you going fast into a turn but sliding side-ways, thats what drifting is about, thats why they have foam tires, stiffer suspension, and 3wd, if its 4wd its hard to get it to drift, cuz you have 2 wheels trying to pull it out the slide, 2wd will never drift, it will if you get lucky, the only place a 2wd will drift is in sand

nitro rustler get your facts straight,in real life drifting 2wd rules because you can oversteer and break the traction of the tires and slide,and were the hell do i find a 3wd[&:],and in r/c drifting 4wd rules because you got 2tires pulling and 2 pushing so it's easier to get the car side ways and keep it going,i've been driving 2wd for my 2+years in r/c's and i still have trouble drifting,and to awnser you questoin yes you can just get small tires and get them bald of get some pvc pipe

yea i know real drifting you want 2WD but for RC you wany 4WD just take that and run with it so you may want too buy 4WD kit or something if you want to drift and run your evader normally.

well trucks can drift, and although I don't know anything about drifting, I tried to drift my nitro evader on a gravel baseball diamond and it didn't work, I think you need 4wd to drift, but as I said, I have no drifting experience

Have you ever got sideways in a car and felt the adrenaline rush? I'ts another way of having fun! Plus it takes skill to do...
