I could drift a lil bit with the stock setup on terrazzle. You go full speed, jerk one way then jerk back the other and hold. Wait a minute, that was w/ nx motor my bad.

I just put on hard Bit Racer tyres on the back, and softs in the front.

I love this car!

The NX doesn't work well for drifting too much speed!

not enough torque I mean it works better with bred gears!. Otherwise it is too fast. It doesn't have enought torque to got full speed with red gears I guess

Lets not let this thread go away. Anyone who drifts write your setup, surface, and technique. Also, you can put video's if you have them. If you need to edit your vids you can get a free editor a microsofts website for xp. Anyway, I'll start.

Setup
Nx motor
blue gears
old style body w/ no lights
stock tires

Surface
terrazzle
wood floors
coffee table

Technique
Umm, go about 3/4's speed. Turn the way you wanna drift and hold it. Now if your back end isn't getting out(it shouldn't be, if it is start the procedure over and go slower)start feathering the throtle between 3/4 and full speed. The faster you feather the more slippage you get. When you wanna get out of the drift go down to about 1/2 throttle and center the steering.

here is my drift setup and how i do it.

orange 28k motor
green gears
slicks on the back
factory tires up front
mazda savannah body.

i go full speed...then i brake check (tap reverse very quickly). once the rear end starts to swing out i feather the trottle while steering the other way....creating a mad drift.

i do this on a dust wooden kitchen floor.

u can also drift if u hit a bump in the middle of a turn that causes the car to go sideways....then feather the throttle and reverse steer!

hope these help!

My setup:
Stock 'Preformance' motor, Bit Char-G hards in the rear, and stock 'Factory' tyres up front.
I just drift...I can't describe it.

My new setup is

NX motor
almost any dusty tires
almost any gears
Efini Body


Almost any means speed and surface wise

BTW Green and blue gears normally cause my car to traction roll with even slightly dusty tires. So try really dusty tires.

I'm trying to drift with stock setup except I have a fandf body and it is almost impossible on my pergo track(very clean). I think I'm gonna have to buy myself a microsizer tire set knowing they are notoriously hard.

Just wanted to bring this thread back to life!

Anyways, so the general consensus I'm getting is that you can stick with stock by putting Bit Char G hard rear racing tires in the back and stock Zip Zap tires in the front, correct?

And are we talking power slide? or actually sideways drifting?

I can do drifts with my setup. Hard MS fronts and soft rears works great for drifting.

I don't think you can actully hold a slide with these SE's...
But anyway, I developed a catagory for micro drifting.
It's called "Bit Drift." Since these things can't really drift, you can just Bit Drift! I also have the rules and regulations.
I gotta go dig them up in the other forum.


Anyway, heres my set.
Hard Bit racer tires on all fours.
2.8 motor
Lightened rear axle
weight up front
slick surface
and lowered AE86 Levin body.

Well, I tried using tape, but this car just harsh snap oversteers and understeers. That's on linoleum kitchen flooring.

I think I'll try the hard in the rears and soft in the back.

Actually, I was looking at the Radioshack website for upgrades and there's soooo many different tires to use.

Anyone know which tires are the hardest? Is it the "sport" tires?
