"save as" please.

this was made by a friend of mine in scioNRG last night im driving it. the tires are pvc pipe.

 

Nice driving! That's the only way to drift on a budget! 2-wheel drive?

 

its belt driven 4WD, ball bearing differentials (front loose, rear tight), harder springs up front, probably 4* of camber, all carbon fiber and stuff . forgot to mention: its an electric car running a 19 turn double motor and a 2700milliamp ni-cad battery pack

 

Sweeeet

 

looks like a law suit when you hit that blue xB and then spun out

 

you would be surprised whats under the hood of that jada xb

 

hey look it looks like mine


switched out the wheels to tamiya -10 offset but i haven't had a chance to take photos yet. just sold my tt01 to heyitznosaj on here

 

Hey Ive got a Yokomo drift nd and an trying to learn how to drift.

 

HPI makes some solid stuff. I have a Micro RS4 and a Nitro 3 Evo that I tinker on. Though, now that I have a 1:1 scale car to fret over, I neglect them. I have an itching to bust out the Nitro soon though.

 

"1.1 scale car". yeah. i feel yeah. LOL.

 

Heh. That's what people on the old R/C boards had to say to distinguish between 1:10 or 1:8 and real-life cars

 

damn thats a HOT orange! i love it. mine is a 200 body on a 190 pro3 chassis and dont have the offset wheels, i just planned in making them dish wheels by mounting wider pvc tires to compensate...

i'm running the second set painted black wide on the rear and regulars on the front...good thing about em is you can switch to 2 different offset just by flipping the inside piece

 

crap i totally forgot about those... now i have to buy a set

 

they will fill out the 200mm body...i ran 4 wide wheels at the same time but it snagged the front when i turned so i had to switched the fronts to regular.

check out driftrcentral.com it's a forum but they have a bunch of jdm wheels on there as well total replicas of volks, works and some other stuff on the classifieds

 

Can any of you guys point me in the right direction to get into RC drifting. I know Im never gonna drift in the tC, so I need to fulfill my fantasy with the RC cars. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I guess you could PM me so as to not jack the thread.

 

driftrcentral.com has a lot of useful info. beginner forums to proper techniques and reviews and opinions on particular models.

 

any decent 4 wheel drive touring car will drift well, depending on how much $$$ you spend and how adjustable the suspension is will determine how good it will drift though.

 

I have a yokomo nd with the hks silvia body on it and im trying to get into the whole rc drift thing also.

 

i would recommend getting those soccer practice cones you see me drifting around in teh video. i got them at target in the sporting goods area. they are light and really flexable so they wont hurt your car or its body. they are also fairly flat so you can always see your car. they are great for practicing with.

the KEY to drifting rc cars as well as real cars is throttle control. you have to finesse the throttle. more often than not you wont go past 1/4 throttle. you cant just pull the trigger and drift. some of it is off throttle coasting to get the car settled in low speed turns to set up for the next sharp turn. always plan at least 1 or 2 turns ahead, dial your car so its predictable and youll be having drifting fun in no time :D
