Hopefully this thread will grow as a forum for fans of rc drifting in the Philippines.

TY.

P.S. All we need is ABS or PVC pipes (used as drift tires).

JoelT,

Here's one of the pics of your drift car... He he he... I played with it a bit... Hope you like it.

Thanks for letting me try it out. Now I wanna build one!

TNT - Thanks for the pictures bro. MANGPIT has extra sets of drift rims and tires, if you're interested. Personally though, I'd go for the whole kit as the body gives one hell of a psychological impact on the handling of the chassis.

STRIKER - Kuha na rin sir!!! Let's then try to come up with (or read up on) rules on how competitions are carried out.

MANGPIT - Kudos to you sir too on the 3rd Annual Le Mangs!!!! Damihan pa natin ng laps the next time around!!!

FBJ, HMAN, STRIKER, - Ituloy na yang CS 500!!! January opening race kaya???

ITIM - . . . . . . Ah eh, nevermind.

how to make your own cheap PVC drift tire:

1. Buy a 2" PVC piping... bring your rim sa hardware so you can check if it exacly fits... note* check the pvc ifs perfectly round, if not papalitan niyo sa hardware


2. Cut the PVC using a pvc cutter... you can use other methods as long as the pvc keeps it's shape... but this is the best way. make sure na ang lapad ng pvc cut ay kasing size ng rims


3. insert the cut pvc into the rims... if hindi sakto ang pasok put electrical tape around the rim so it fits well... then glue it


pics are from http://www2.ocn.ne.jp/~sw-pal/DRIFT/...rift-Tiya.html

your drift tires should look like this


*note* use pvc on all four rims to make your car drift gracefully

happy drifting

korek!! i got to try out the pvc tires last night. pretty good. but off power, the car kinda spins. i like the yokomo drift tires. problem is, they're kinda expensive...

IS-KUD - Look at it this way. The Yoke drift tires and rims are just as expensive as buying a new set of Sorex tires, inserts, and Speedming rims.

Seriously, they'll probably last for quite some and will give you added tunability.

. . . . Hell of a lot more difficult to install though.

JOELT

ok bros, i'll try to be there on sat. ehehe, i have a class kasi that day eh, hehehe, still schooling

onga pala, pvc drift tires are wideley used around the world, every body uses it, yeah, yok drift tires are kinda expensive... but i still like the pvc tires, you can perform crazy long drifts from it
