Adding shims and a tentioner arm made the center belt stick to the pulleys. so now I could try with touring tires.
No, don't use touring tires as they stick...Im using HPI T drifts...Spice has some also or you can make them out of ABS plastic (you tube).
I'd suggest stiffer springs in front less stuff in rears...
then play with shock positions on the shock towers...plus
Lots of practice, practice and more practice.
Don't get me wrong...Im not a pro...and I still need lots of practice...but I'm getting a little better. Still can't avoid hitting the guard rail sometimes though
...but I do love CS drifting better than 50/50 drifting
To the point I'm converting my Zero S to CS.
