sorry jay...dont hate me........... paint lids are redicolous..and they dont work for shit...they will only throw you off for when you run real drift tires....and the white pvc..its slicker then snot ...to many soft polymers....
hpi or yokomo drift wheels/tires work pretty good but omg expensive....just et some from one of us....ive burned through some 15 or so sets and swear by our abs..................and btw...the whole cod team runs abs....

I've been running abs for quite some time, and always will, but there are other things out there that work was my only point, and some people (like me) cant afford to buy their tires yet so they can still get practice with other ways

Default Dry Wall Tape

Hey BMX, what I have read and researched the best thing to use is use shelf cover. I'm going to do be doing some carbon fiber on my latest body using it and I can post some pics to let you know how it comes out. Here are some bad pics of the Supra I'm working on, I still have quite a bit of work to do on it but I'm going to try and throw down a blue tinted carbon fiber for the hood.
