Hey, if you don't mind my asking... I have a new DM-1 here. I currently have an old Mach 427 in it, and like what I've seen from the four tanks I've run so far.
BUT, I have several other engine possibilities - including a 7-liter old Go GXR 5-port and a brand-new Losi 454(i.e. an LRP Spec 3..) I also have a new Jammin JPX-21... I'm not gonna be racing, but don't want to be filling my tank every four minutes either.., or, smoking a set of tires per tank... I will be running on tracks though - for fun, not organized racing..., so not parking lot bashing..
Does a 21 really have the guts for a 1/7 DM-1? Thanks...

Sorry I wasn't using the word "drift" properly. A dirty parking lots it's sometimes drifting more than driving. For increased slide the stock IGT tires are good, they're harder compound and the tread is low. But what comes to real drift tires I think one has to make them himself..

IMEX makes very hard tires, they don't grip the track at all. Another good thing (for drifting) is that they are very cheap.

You can buy the Spec as a roller, just in case you didn't know.

Thanks for the help on the tires guys. Every time I go drifting in front of the hobbyshop, the interest in this class picks up and I hope to get some racers on board to do some lot racing, we dont have an on road track near by.

Yes those are the ones I was talking about. My friend bought them just to try them but they didn't hook up at all, so I guess that they will be good for drifting.
