Drifting an Xmod
I been trying to do some research on how to drift an Xmod, because it looks fun. Bear in mind I'm new to both R/C's and drifting. Most of the drift mods seem to have the following in common:
Stage 2 motor
Drift tires, or taped tires
AWD
hard springs front suspension, soft springs rear
Lithium batteries
One question I had on this, on real cars most drift cars are rwd, why do people recommend awd on Xmods? Wouldn't the same principles of drifting apply to an r/c car, and a real car? If not, are there different techniques to drifting an Xmod?
The one I've been experimenting with is to go into a corner fast, let off on the throttle, until at the apex of the turn, and hit full throttle again. So far, it hasn't worked, but I'm just running a stock Xmod, and my technique probably sucks. Anyone have any pointers? Thanks for your help.
