How many of us drift our xmods? Tell your setup, your surface, and your technique in this thread. I will post mine when I get my xmod and get it dialed in.

Stage 1 yellow motor, but with blue bevel gear
Soft tread tires
IC-3 batteries
Most important: 4 Wheel Drive
I apporach the turn at HIGH speed, all the way. I turn sharply and then apply a little brake, but very briskly (like for a plit second) then punch the throttle and gradually release the steering wheel for a niiiice drift. Normally, with RWD, the back wheels are spinning like heck....sure. But when you turn, the pulling force of the turn plus the wheels spinning like mad, plus weight holding the car down from flipping, can equal an E-Z spinout. And when you turn the other way to prevent spinning out, the rear is thrust so much from turning at first, that when you turn the other way the rear end is now allowed to thrust (lol.....perverts ) out the other way, like a bouncing ball, cuz of the force from swinging around from the previous turn.
With AWD, or 4WD, you can turn sharply, and it will slowly lose traction, but that's cuz instead of instantly swinging it's bootay (heh heh.....no pun intended), the front wheels will pull it too....and RWD can't move the rear end around with the front wheels trying to pull it foward. Thus, you lose traction in all 4 wheels, and as it is about to spin out, let go of the steering wheel, and all four wheels are instantly pulling it straight, thus bringing it out of the drift and zooming it away.

I'm extremely sorry, dude, but I don't have the right camera to do it. I can't record directly on the memory card, thus the recording is not turned into a computer file....I can only do it on a tape. Sorry bro.
But, if I were to plug a wire from the camera to the PC, and play the video on the camera and record THAT onto the PC...then I'd have it made...I just need the right software.

Spring rate has nothing to do with toe.

Hey. I need help with a setup. I will drift on the driveway and street. What is the best setup for me? Also how do you change your camber?It looks awsome and i think it will work.

harder will be your best bet. more responsive and easier to break traction. make adjustments from there.
