RC Drift

[Blitanicle99]

This may sound stupid but what is the difference between the rc drift cars and regular rc cars. They are both rwd right? So what are the posi rear end or something?

[cttdid666]

from what i heard the rear tires move also to help drift

[Blitanicle99]

Huh?

[donnystorm1]

the only difference in the 2 are the tires and suspension. I have a tamiya tt-01 awd with a 27 turn motor. All wheel drive and pvc are the best way to rc drift. its really not that much of a difference. If yall are intersted in getting into rc drift, look for an all wheel drive car not a rear wheel drive

[Blitanicle99]

K.... Im sorta interested in getting into it. But mr captain morgan told me that...

[YokotaS13]

any AWD car can drift, from an HPI pro3, to a tamiya like they said above. all you have to do is take your wheels wit you, go to lowes, and get PVC pipe that fits snugly over the wheels, then wrap them with electrical tape, and slide cut PVC on adn go

[Blitanicle99]

Wait so any rc car can drift just do the whole pvc pimp and electrical tape thing and your good?

[chameleon30038]

It depends on if your talking electric drift or nitro dift cars?

I know nitro drift cars are mid engine cars unlike the normal rear engine design

[Blitanicle99]

Definatly electric. Im cheap lol

[wantboost]

electric aint cheap either.i have a yokomo kit with a 16 turn motor. i dont think there are many 1/10 scale cars that are rwd. they go to rwd at about 1/24 scale. go to a hobby town they will be able to help ya.

[Nismo]

Get an electric 4-tec or xxx-s or tc4 and tape the tires w/ electrical tape and you be straight

[wantboost]

^^^ that works too

[Sentra]

Electric, PVC wheels, and your set. I think electric is better for the sliding cause they have more torque. but i could be wrong, never tried it with gas motor.

[Blitanicle99]

Sweet Im off to walmart lol. This is probably going to turn out in another crazy creation. Like the potatoe gun lol

[ALVIN]

Id go with something better than wal-mart...there is plenty of companies that sell electric...go to HobbyTown USA off of Satellite...theyd be happy to help.

[wantboost]

they have more stadium trucks and planes. the owner said he hadnt placed an order for cars in awhile i would go to the one off of berret. unless you dont mind waiting for them to order it in.

[Nismo]

They have I know 3 electric touring cars that are 109 99 each

[ALVIN]

Ok on the damn 4 wheel RCs which wheels do you electric tape up? lol I did it to my back wheels yesterday but damn there is NO control what so ever.

[wantboost]

u tape all of them and control the car with the throttle. if u tape the rear u will spin out.... you get the idea oversteer understeer

[ALVIN]

yea lol I was just doing crazy ass donuts lol

[wantboost]

so you had them on all four and u were doin donuts?

[Blitanicle99]

Hmm 110 is alot. I might be able to get a nice radio shack car or something to work I had a badass porche but it dissapeared...

[wantboost]

^^ nice and radio shack dont go together (esp when talkin about rc). what scale were these for 109 and are all the electronics included. i have been ment 1/10 scale. of which they have very few

[ALVIN]

Spent a couple minutes fixing up my C6 Corvette body...I cut out the whole front window to get more air flow to the engine. I also taped off my slick tires with electrical tape. The rear tires have more meat than the front :) so I guess we will see what happens :)

ohh and I reinforced the front, rear, and all wheel wells a bit more :) if you get my "drift" lol

[Nismo]

They were 1/10 the tamiya tt-01. Rite above the bodies in the rc section. They even come w/ a motor and esc! They have an old school m series bimmer, 190E evo and a Yellow Gtr

[wantboost]

oh yeah i know which ones ur talkin bout. but i dont think they stock any parts for them. which is the exact problem i am running into with my yokomo

[Blitanicle99]

Arg... I want to try this but Im soo broke right now lol. Im totaly digging up the old school rc cars and Fnning with those.

[neon_guy]

r/c drifting is just as expensive (relatively speaking) as REAL drifting. A GOOD car is going to run you over 100 bux. If you wanna maintain it, you're going to spend money. To get GOOD, you're gonna hit stuff. The only thing cheap about it is the PVC+electrical tape. I did that. Good times. Goooooooooooooooooooood times. Matter fact, I'm about to wrap my Yok tires in e-tape to get some more life outuvem. They're so done.
