I took my 6 celled Supra to school, and with slick tires on AWD and a Stage 2 Motor, I was drifting in the gym, my longest drift was around the 3 point line.

You want to drift, you arn't doing a good job of it so we are trying to help you out. We know that pvc is a bad idea, so we are telling you what you should try.

How are those pvc tires coming along???

as soon as rs gets the awd kit, and after some snow melts in a big enough area, i'll be able to test my tires. i still don't know why people are so against the tires for outside drifting. iam just making them so you won't mess up the rs tires and to have a little bit fun with drifting. if they don't work well, you were right, but if they do, then i will be happy and right. of i appreciate all the tips posted they are great.

It's a great idea, since I've torn up my stock tires in the last 10 min.

pvc is cheating. go with stocks or hards. all you need is a locked diff or awd and a torquey motor. i have lots of spare tires and messed up stock rims so its an endless supply

itsalllies: first ur front tires will have to be soft tires back pvc so u have control
i think ull most likely end up doing 180's

wow, like it really matters. those videos used pvc pipe, and you know something? that white rx-7 is a scale replica of the 2003 d-1 USA champion. it was a new car for the first season, and he won. that is a real drifter, and hes got real skill. if the best drifter in the USA right now, has no problem with pvc pipe, neither should you 12year olds, who trash talk as if people on here couldnt kick their aces. alot of you should pipe down because alot of people here are bigger and stronger than you.

hes got real skill in a real car. [notice that he got a little sloppy and hit the wall] these are rc's. im not trash talking or anything and im not 12 ethier. just saying that i think the pvc takes away from the skill factor and you lose a grip of speed too.

I was not trash talking, I was just stating that there are other ways that I think are better. That video bored me since it is so slow and the drift is near effortless. Just because you are stuck behind a computer and we don't know how big you are doesn't mean you can kick my ass. I'm 19 and a big guy, could I kick your ass? I don't care.
You want to drift in real cars or just road race? I'm defiantly up for that.
