My skyline with it's stock setup (the 3 times I played with it stock) didn't spin out on me once, this was on hardwood floors. I added the awd kit and soft suspension up front + a stage 2 (red motor which ever that is, I think 9 tooth) and I got a couple of nice drifts. Most times I would just slide the rear out (aka no control), but I'm still trying to get a hang of the steering. Wish I could get in some more play time with this car.:(

the steering is so sloppy that its hard to get the precision control needed for drifting...also the turn radius sucks!

Heat 11-08-2003 11:41 PM

maybe u just dont know how to use it properly? everyone else is drifting fine. if u want help, buy a drift kit from nml that thing is crazy fun. getting mine with the motor so yea..

kingcobra 11-08-2003 11:45 PM

ya...that must be it...
 
you are so smart...what they call drifting I call donuts.

Hmmmm, seems to be precise enough for me and a few others.

Somewhat.
Also I'ld like to say I know the difference between a drift and a doughnut. I can honestly say I pulled off 2 nice drifts around an imaginary corner. The steering slop isn't hindering my drifting at all. Ofcourse catching it more easier is gonna need my practicing a bit more.;)

i was drifting with out the tires. its more fun that i was expecting

and i wasnt doing donuts calling them drifts it was accually drifting just a slow motion type

RedRSX 11-09-2003 12:39 AM

:rolleyes: Once again all that King Cobra can do is complain about things like..."it doesn't go a 140mph...its stupid" and " That's not a drift thats a donut" You do remember thins is a toy and won't drift like a freaking porsche

Here's my latest, and probably best, drift setup
Hard Springs
Hard Tires
Ball diff in front
Stock diff in rear.

I got it drifting completely sideways for about 7 or 8 feet on a tile floor.

Hudson5150 11-09-2003 01:42 AM

On the street in front of my house I found it best to make the car drift by using wieght transfer. Using a torque motor and gears, hard slick tires in the rear, hard suspention and not using the AWD kit, make a small turn in the opposite direction you wish to turn, lay off the throttle, turn the direction you want to go, hit the throttle, than counter steer to keep from spinning out. Worked for me, it does take some practice to get the timing down.

I've been working on getting a proper powerslide on dry pavement. I can almost pull it off, but it's a bit tail happy, I have since moved the battery compartments forward and will try again sometime this week.

The car does seem to ahve plenty of power on tap, if I gun it on the pavement it spins the back wheels right before taking off. Maybe I have in increase grip on the rear slightly and go for a 50/50 weight ratio to get it right.

viperkilla 11-09-2003 07:03 AM

I can pretty much drift with any XMOD with my basement floor becasue it is so slick.

VuN86 11-09-2003 04:51 PM

yeah i don't think anyone REALLY can drift on purpose with their xmod it is all by chance that they drift unless they have made a track for their xmod and can drift on all the right turns on the track then i would consider them being able to drift i saw many vids but many of them are just like a wide open area where their cars just spin out of control and they call it drifting i only nice xmod drifting vid i seen was the bodyless rsx around those stairs

do you have a link to the video?

GhettoFiedRacin 11-09-2003 07:11 PM

i have been able to accomplish about 4 foot drifts around the majority of the nose of a 1:1 mustang with a supra that only had the drag motor stage 2 in. the only other mod was the body kit .... but that didnt affect anything. and it WAS a real drift.

VuN86 11-09-2003 10:08 PM

ummm it's some where in the gallery section there is a supra one but the guy only got it to drift once
