hey i just bought a redcat lightning and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some drift tires and rims that would fit on it?

Any 26mm 1/10th touring car drift tires/tims will fit. Many electric guys will just cut 2" ABS or PVC pipe which happens to fit really well over 1/10 road rims. ALTHOUGH I've heard though that the low-traction pipe tires are good for electric which are a bit smoother, but are just too slippery for nitro cars to control nicely.

If you're really lazy then wrap a couple of layers of insulation tape around your existing tires and find some *smooth* concrete (anything except really smooth concrete will obviously rip the tape up in no time)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200217276491 is a link to 4 tires I bought on ebay for drifting. So far they do ok for my nitro powered Lightning. However if I hit the gas to hard, the car will just sit and spin with these tires. [>:]

Here is what we run. http://www.clermontmotorsports.com/s...t-tires/Detail we also lock the diffs with jb weld. Works great for drifting. Its slick but fun as heck.

i wouldnt use jbweld, then its permanent, pack the diffs with silly putty or play dough, this way you can always remove it if you want limited slip.

we used jb weld because thats what we wanted to use the car for. If you want to use it for both, do what ehroof said. Sorry should have clarified that. My mistake
