And Were is Sugar Land? Is that far from me here in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area! Just asking cuz we just had a big Drift Comp this past weekend and it was pretty RAD! We have from here till about October tons of Demos and Comps left, We also have Weekly Sunday Drift Jams @ Hobby Town USA in Arlington Tx, we have about 25-30 Drifters Spread out all over the DFW!

Hey guys I am new to drifting also. I am drifting a sprint2sport set up for drift. But I wanted to put it out there, but the new Losi pre mounted drift tires work great and dont wear to fast.(At least not that I can tell...still new to it so..) They mount right on and the offset works well with HPI 200mm bodies. (WRX STI) Just thought I would share.

Josh, Sugar Land is just south of Houston on US 59. It's a haul to DFW area. Drifting isn't big here, but I've talked to a few guys who want to play. I think I found a place in Cali (driftspeed) that has the part I need (Yoko SD-203 is the number for the whole parts tree), going to call today and make sure they have it in stock.

Wondering if there's anythign out there for 1/18 drifting. Tires and diff gears in particular. I have two 18R's sitting here, nobody around here races them anymore.

check out www.melbrc.org those guys will be loads better help for you than most people here, plus it will get you into the local rc drift scene. cheers m8

Ive got an 18R lying around as well, unfortunately have not been able to find any drift accessories for it. I did however end up taping the tires with packing tape so it would drift on smooth concrete.... that is about as far as my 18R drifting experience

I would have to STRONGLY disagree with this comment. There are many people on these forums with years of experience, and with that personal experience, they may have some biased opinions...

I have raced and drifted 3 different yokomos and 3 different tamiyas. I prefer tamiya. As far as a reccomendation, I reccomend going to your local hobby store and seeing what they carry (replacement parts) and stick within that genre. If youre planning on getting into this seriously and plan on spending $400 on a chassis alone, then go for broke. If you are open for sugguestions, go to a local rc meet and pay attention to how each car handles.

HPI has a 1/18 drift car, and the tires are available separately. Going to order a set of those. I know the guys that own Reflex Racing, if anyone knows if there are other diff gears for the AE 1/18, they will. I'll check with them and see.
