Does anyone know the best way to put on sushi drift tires. I bought some off ebay after hearing they are great but am having a lot of trouble getting them on my rims

If they are anything like the HPI T-Drift, bring some water to a boil, toss the tire in for 45sec-1min and, without burning yourself and being super quick, you can pop them on the wheel and massage them on. I've done 6 sets now of the T-Drift and you have to be ninja-quick.

Still looking for drifters in the Phoenix, AZ area. If thats you PM me. Trying to get an event going atmy local hobby shop. Need a few more racers though...

Sushi tires are made out of ABS with rounded edges. Boiling water doesn't affect them, I have tried leaving them in for different periods of time.

I am new to the hobby and i have been searching but it seems there are to many threads to cover. I am looking to get into drifting. First off ive never assembled a rc before so i was looking at pre-assembled or RTR. I dont want to spend a ton because i just got a AE b4.1 from a buddy. I will be racing the buggy the drifter is for side fun between racing days. I have been looking at cheaper cars like the teh-r31, sakura zero, tamiya tt01 etc. Any suggestions? Ive looked at the HPI stuff too but everyone keeps telling me that the exceed drift king is decent for the price..and then some threas i read say its junk and because it has all metal gears they will wear faster while others say the tamiya tt01 is crap because the gears in the diffs burn out because there plastic. Please help ive been researching this for days. Id prefer a roller so i can see how it went together. Im not opposed to building but everyone i know personally has told me even on good kits parts are missing. I know some of the cars im looking at are china made stuff so i figure the odds for missing parts right out of the box is greater.

I'm a fan of the TT01 or TB03 VDS, I ran a TT01 with a 7.5 turn brushless on ABS tyres without any problems for over a year. A must do is fit metal bearings to the car before any other upgrade. The TB03 mentioned is more expensive and a kit but still worth a look to fill in the work day.

Depending on the wheels; couldn't you go the other way? Drop the wheels in hot water? Not necessarily to expand them but to make the plastic playable?

I've been running a TT01 for about 3 years or so, at the moment it has the Eagle racing chassis on it. Allways found it a great car to drift with, and not much breaks or goes wrong with it. As allready mentioned get the metal wheel bearings, aluminium steering bits and its all good. When you want to upgrade you can go to the eagle chassis and change position of the motor.
Lock the rear diff in the TT01, i used a hot glue gun for ease of removal if i ever wanted to, and its fantastic

TB03 is also a great car to drift with (as allready mentioned) also have one of these , not the vdf version, have also changed to eagle racing chassis, countersteered it etc.

Have also tried drifting using the sakura zero, i didnt really like it, i prefer a shaft drive drifter (personal preference)

Heres a drift video that we made a few years ago. This is our old track but we normally race with 6+ other cars. This was just some after racing entertainment.
