If you use stock tires you can try making the tires dusty but remember not to have dust trapped in your axles or they will stiffen. Hard tires are safer and cleaner. Or even remove the tires totally and run on your wheel hubs. But dusty tires can't drift much if your motor is slow, like 1.0s. You should use a faster motor to drift, then you can easily choose between dusty tires, hard tires or no tires at all. No tires allow you to drift at any speed. I have the drift set and I'd say drifting on plastic wheels and no tires on smooth surfaces with a 1.0 is no problem.

So if you really really want to drift, assuming you're using a stock 1.0 and stock medium tires I'd suggest ripping out the tires and run on wheel hubs.

By the way is your stock motor a 1.0? If it's a 2.2 onwards dusty tires or hard ones are enough.

Since it's a 1.0 I think you should rip your tires off while running on them if you want to drift. Once you get a faster motor you can use hard or dusty tires.

Set for drift works well for me

Ms Pro
blue gear
spring suspension
hard ripped tires back
med tires front
3.8 motor
skyline gtr body
no sterring arm

For no reason some bodies drift better than other (might be the weight distribution)
the skyline was very controlable to spin and slide around corners.
the s2000 seem very stable but hard for me to make a controlled sliding turn and my 305z it just flipped every time i wanted to drift

its doesnt really if u got springs

It doesnt effect u realy if u got springs matter in fact i have more control over my car with just the springs (independent action on each tires)

but if u drive of no springs and no cotroll arm it makes ur car go wobbely and u cant go straight any more.

A carbon fiber hood. Want pics? And what arm do you guys think works best? You ever seen Paul Walker's car in Super Street magazine? It's usually in a bridgestone ad on the page right between the cover and the first page/ad. It looks like that, but w/ a carbon fiber hood, and chrome wheels.

Dust?

I read about some "dust" in this thread and I'm wondering what it is. Is it just like a household dust? Can I subsitute this stuff with like a light wax or lubricant? I'm a noob to Bit drifting if ya haven't guessed yet.

Ah now I get what the carbon fiber hood means! But I want pics!! I think hard steering arms are the best. On my car if there's no steering arm it refuses to turn at all. The stock white ones are even better for steering. Geofroley, the "dust" we usually refer to are the crap that hangs on to your tires when you play them at home and not clean the tires at all. Actually it's the exact same crap you find on your finger after running it across some old uncleaned stuff like the top of your tv or your pc monitor, or maybe your shelf... I don't think coating lube on tires would be clean. You get all messy with them and the surface you're running on. If I had a digicam I can snap a pic or two of my really dusty tires that I have not cleaned yet. Good for drifting. But you have to remember that there is a risk of dust getting stuck in your gears and axles so you need to clean all of them regularly.

Hmm never tried that before.... if you had a set of spare tires I'm sure there's no harm wearing the treads out and giving it a try... anyone around here tried wearing down their treads? Does it work? Maybe if the tire is smooth you can drift...
