you should have posted "the ultimate drifting guide???" instead of "the ultimate drifting guide!!!" because you are requiring not providing.

I'll give you a quick drift suggestion if you don't mind, soft slick tires on your rear wheels. I had some on my Skyline earlier today (take into consideration I'm using AWD) and it was pretty much like driving on ice. So as you get more and more skilled, give those a shot.

With my red supra, hardslicks all around, and stage2 drag, i figured out that if you turn the wheels in the opposite direction (just alittle more than slightyly) of the way u want to drift right before you turn them the way u want to drift, the wheels tend to slid more, making it easier to drift.

The best setup for drifting will be different for any given situation. The driving surface will dictate most of the setup. Drifting on a tennis court would be a different setup than for a hardwood floor in most cases. Read up on how to control oversteer and understeer, drive your car and adjust from there.

if you read up on drifting techniques for a real car it will aid you a bit in drifting a xmod.

only differneces are these:

xmods don't have brakes (big one, you'll have to learn how to deal with this)

xmods don't have transmissions (harder to do a power slide)

xmods have a far lower center of gravity and a radically different suspension gemotry compared to a real car (makes for insane grip, but makes drifting harder yet)

So really all you have is steering technique, throttle control, weight distribution, whee; camber, and tire choice to paly with. It's a lot of decisions, but not near as much as in a real car.

Still read up on real car drifts, and watch a few videos of real car drifts....since those tend to be easier to see the wheel work and so on.

After you get the basics down, it's all a matter of preference. I myself prefer powerslides, but those are rather hard to pull off on an xmod....I found the stage 2 drag (red) motor is a nice one to use for this. I also chose to keep it RWD so I have all the power I can get for drifting, the AWD kit gives you too much grip and robs you of some power.
