mine still has the problem that it wont let go of the drift & keeps the rear coming around when i want it to transition!

if you are having the sh!ts with this car try these mods:

i added abt 250g of rear weight to try n tame the rear with some improvement to rear grip.

tamiya drift techs , being less slippery made it easier to do larger drifts. recommended. Yeah racing angled profile are the worst i;ve used - too slippery.

check your FDR is not too high. running a higher 19t pinion was better than 17t for me.

cheers for the advice pickled about the drive shaft chatter. i ended up just cleaning the crap off mine & now shes smooth as again. no mods or new ssk shafts required
Hey thanks man. I change my rear shock setup today to 4 hole piston running same oil as front and tweaked the camber front and rear so the inside wheel is at 0* at full lock so at rest is about 7* and rear to 1* and decreased the toe in to .5*. Tested out with Tdrift tyres can transition now with a little more predictability but its just a matter of watching for the transition and as it snaps the other way back off a bit and release steering so it doesn't go into spins then lay the throttle down again, I'm starting to get it. I changed my pinion to a 19T but left my 78T spur, might change over to the 80 and give that a go. Man it chews up the tyres pretty fast tho
