I can drift almost every time i try in my kitchen which has a 90 degree turn and i drift around that...my setup is... Stage 2 10 tooth, AWD, stiff suspension, and hard slicks...this is the best for drifting in my opinion...oh and BTW if you take the tires off your rims and just drive on the rims, thats not drifting...thats just being retarted...i bet you look like an idiot...LOLOL

u know what, you're not very nice at all...that's not funny and it looks pretty damn cool IMO. Now i don't really think of it as drifting now...i think of it more like driving on ice. it's really cool and funny as hell when you hit corners and the car does like 5 360's.....

I have a question...is drifting when you go around a corner and the car breaks loose?

Micro S2000 · #20 11-25-2003, 08:22 PM

yeah the back end breaks loose and you control the slide as you turn.

and driving with the tires off is accually pretty fun. you need allwheel drive to drift but you can. i thought it was a dumb idea at first but i can drift it with out tires, its accually pretty cool.

i can also drift with the tires on. if you are on a smooth floor you should be able to drift with awd or rwd. you just need less turn and more counter stear with rwd

hay, so its easier to drift with AWD upgrade right? becuase with RWD, i spin out most of the time.

use throttle contol and opposite lock steering to make long donuts out of little one. try the steering and throttle are called porportional for a reason. the tyre choice is the biggest factor in drifting. the hard treads are the best i have found.

hahahaha xmods are quite possibly the furthest from proportional there is. A true propo car has 512 steps, while an xmod has like 16 i think.

i just made a supra with the 6cell thing, hard treads up front, stock slicks in back, and i was gettin pretty tail happy around turns, but ive only been screwin around with it for about 5-10 minutes.

Your not to smart with the whole proportional thing either...he didn't say it was "fully proportional" he said it was proportional...referring to digitally proportional...check xmodsrc.com before you start giving your 2 cents

what i do (i just got mine today) is drive it in the dusty corners of my house to coat my tires and the take it into the open hardwood halways of my house and drift from room to room....lol....its fun.........

aperson · #27 11-27-2003, 03:33 PM

i guess im screwed. i only got a wooden porch and high pile carpeting to drive on. and the neighbors driveway that is so full of cracks that its impossible to drive it on. oh and a garage floor that has absolutely no room to drive on. but it makes a cool street course

R33E8 · #28 11-27-2003, 04:45 PM

I just use tape on my tires. All I have is all wheel drive and i drift good like that. I am preety good at drifting and I'll post some videos when I can find my parents video camera. I think I can get about 10 - 15 feet of drifting but I WILL post videos showing it for those who think its not possible.

Comrade_Boris · #29 11-27-2003, 06:10 PM

........IDEA!!! when i go to the ice rink next time ill bring my xmod! there is almost never anyone there so ill try drifting on ice!!!!! ill also bring my cam to try recording it if it works......should be sweet however it works out!

I'm a real life drifter w/ my supra so when i got my supra xmod (both red

) i of course had to set it up for drifting i left the awd for last because i wanted a supra built like a supra h ere's what i did and what i found out.

i first set up w/ hard springs int he front and stiff in the rear w/ the 3* bar. this worked alright but not enough. i then bought tires. I put the HARD TREAD on all 4 even better drifting to spinning out ratio. then i threw a stage 2 motor the red one dun remmeber which that is. even better w/ more power to the wheels but still couldn't control like i wanted to but it did have enough power to break loose when i wanted it to. j ust couldn't controll it readily enough. I then finally broke down to all wheel drive. and it works GREAT. i have about a 97-3 drift to spin out ratio. so here it is again the minimum setup (i have since added 6 cells and an NML motor but those are optional)

soft suspenions up front (red springs)
stiff suspension in rear (blue)
3* bar
AWD
HARD tread all around.

there you go thats all you need.
