Originally posted by Besercoe I notice in your signature you have a Noisy car, most of those at the tracks are constantly sideways, but i wouldnt say they have any car control Let alone ultimate.
Drifting is having control over the car as it gose sidewayz..... Its not just goin sideways. A noisy car goin sideways is not a drifting It just a Noisy car goin sidewayz with no control.
To drift you need Complete control over the car as its sidewayz. So you can Link it into all the other turns on the track.
Watch Some Of the Rc...and Full Scale Car Drifting. Theres vids all over the net.
Then you'll no what i mean. The JAP's Are Insane Drifters. CRAZY STUFF. I dont no were they get the balls. (to side a full scale car that is)
Peace......

Have you seen what a greater vehicle mass can do to a lesser
vehicle mass. ? and your quote was ?
after 8pm most of the streets up here are quiet, and being a professinal driver I only muck around when it is safe to do so, shame some of our fellow road users though who cut infront of us as if we were driving a mini.
Buses have a lot of understeer when it is wet, mainly due to the fact that the motor is in the back, but it is not speed that causes it, it is torque and that is what these things have plenty of.
You can go around a corner at 10-15 kph, and if you tap the excelarator in the middle of the corner you will understeer big time, once you back off that is when the front turns and the back will skip out abit, but enough that you will notice it, because the motor is in the back it acts like a pengelim, when doing donuts or drifting what you need is torque not speed as this what helps you brake traction, just thought I would clear that up as my first coments sounded like I did it all the time, but always remember it is not speed that kills, it is the sudden stop that does it.
As this thread is all about r/c though if everyone who runs electric cars, if you made them water proof you could have drifting races when it rains instead of cancelling the day.

So, just come out and watch me slide my rubber car into corners.
but the big difference is I am putting in FAST lap times compared to the drift cars (they are so boringly slow)

Well that coment speaks for its self, no respect for any one else using the public road system, in a car or on foot you just don't know when they will find there way in your deadly path. keep the stupid driving stuff on the tracks or fully controled areas, not on public roads.
Now that I have recovered from my humanity speach, how would you guys set up and declare the winner of a drift race ????

bieng a drifter for many years i cant really say which is betta but ill say 1 thing no 1 likes there brand new s15 bodie and wheels destroyed because the pvc drifties never stop so to put it in short pvcs are only good in a huge area with no other carz or you go for tapes which will die within 1 3300 battery run and on the down side they leave the tire all sticky witch reqires a squirt of mota spray to get it off so for my two cents go for the new hpi stage d drifties or yokomo drifties either way always use no camber and for tapes wrap 5 times on the outside for the front and 3 times in the middle for rear try www.rcdrift.com for more info on drifting
