Drifting tips

[nfurby]

Any one out there willing to share tips on how to set up a drift xmod? So far I have a skyline w/ bodykit and drift tires. Planning to get 4wd and 2nd stage motors. Any comments?

Replace "Steam Forum" with "TinyRC Forum" and you'll get the idea.

Also counter steer while your drifting

i would say that if ur using an xmod u will have a hard time ripping the wheels off for a peel out so i would say get the drifting kit from radio shack and find the motor with as much torque as possible i heard the spinbrush mad works but i never tried since i am upgrading to mini z i will have to change this technique but wen i first started i did it on hard wood floors that i cleaned before starting:
step 1: clean floor
2: set up your car(super torkey motor, hard tires or taped tires, and a hard suspension in back and soft in front)
2: start out by doin single turn drifts for practice, as you come into the turn let off the gas about half way.
3: while your slinging around the turn with the momentum of the car at half throttle press the throttle all the way.
4: after you reach the point where you want to stop drifting let go of the throttle a little and the tires will regain grip.
5: coast out of the turn slowly accelerating and ur done!

DO NOT AT ALL PUT IT IN REVERSE!!!!! drifting was made so u dont loose too much speed around turns with a torky motor pressing the brakes and then gunning out of the turn will result in DONUTS.
