Hey Vazzo,

Depending on the surface and the track size and layout you can try different setups, for the most consistent drift lock both front and rear diffs, this allows you to have the most control, but you have to "flick" the car into the corner to initate the drift, as the locked front causes understeer. I usually run a open diff up front and a locked rear as out track up here is tight and you need all the steering you can and I'm also running a brushed 19t, but I couldn't tell you what gearing I run with it as I just slap it together if it runs all good. check out www.driftcity.org for drift meets around your area they have weekly meets over at cannon hill and at the Goldy too, or you can come up here and check out my personal drift track, it a shed at my inlaws, it's not much but it's some fun




We also have a 1/10 EP off road track out side, and both tracks are currently under going facelifts in preperation for our Drift City Drift comp coming up in May.
