what are drift tires and where do you get them .Do you also put them on the front or just on the back? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

anthony390 10-30-2005 07:29 AM

drift tires are a super hard compound rubber tires(HPI) or you can use the yokomo drift tires :smile:

if you want to save money just use pvs or abs piping and cut it to the liking of your width :)

you put drift tires on all 4 wheel

anthony390 10-30-2005 07:31 AM

oh ya i dont know if your lhs has those hpi or yokomo frift tires but you can get all those (PVC,ABS,Yokomo,HPI) on ebay :smile:

Go check out http://www.driftrcentral.com for some more info on drifting and I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of guys that hang out there from NYC and Long Island that you can drift with.

Looking at the stratus 3.0...

Previously ran an S2000 for kicks, but I know it was a hinderance.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.


The Mazda is the best all around body... although I ran a stratus AP last weekend which was pretty good at getting rid of the oversteer. Really can't go wrong with either one.

Can some one help me when chossing a Stock motor for my TC3 - needs to be a 27t stock motor , no mod motors please . And I also need a pinion gear too . So any info to help my choice would be great . I will be running on a carpet track , that is fairly tight . oh yeah , cheaper the better .

BatJam1 10-31-2005 08:23 PM

Try either a trinity PK2 Pro, or a green Machine , or a Monster!As far as gearing we dont know what your running for a spur , what tires, what size diameter they are.Just remember to go down a tooth or 2 if you use the monster.Its more RPM based than the other 2 motors . :nod: :nod:

Mr.Pink 10-31-2005 08:28 PM

Well i don't know the size of the tires , they are foams , and I am using a 72T spur , i bought a 32T pinion , but I think that was a mistake .

BatJam1 10-31-2005 08:33 PM

if your using 48 pitch gears you should start with a 26 or a 25 tooth pinion,and try to measure the tires diameter i run my tire at 57mm.

BIG DADDY8 10-31-2005 09:07 PM

Is the bolt pattern the same on the main chassis of the tc3 and the tc4? :confused:

BatJam1 10-31-2005 09:24 PM

no its not just the four bolts that hold the diff down !

anthony390 10-31-2005 10:20 PM
