Im used to driftin with me mate in empty well not always X_X the amount of times ive touched cloth as i go sideways infront of a speeding idiot in a carpark and makin the best of the man made sectons to make a sort of track and the only other drifters i have seen is when i was riding past on my steed and there were 4 young people in there with argos 1:32 scale "drift" cars going at 8mph trying to go side ways i cant wait to see them again when ive got me car and show them how to do it

come on people

allmost 100 viewings and only 4 people have psoted it in!

I use a tc2 esc and and well i am thinking that any esc would work for drifting as long as the esc can handle your motor

and when you say "firebird" (also what year?) do you mean the REAL car and well if you drifting in that i would STONGLY NOT recomend that for drifting because the suspension design on that car is NOT good

sorry but i would get a different car to drift

PaZ

no i ment the x mod firebird

thedudeaturdoor

what motor would be better?
a 19/stock/bl/or mod?

most people i know use stocks
but the other half use 19's

so wich one is better?

anthony390

oh i see sorry

and well i would like xmods anyway

thats just me

anthony390

it all depends on your drifting style, chassis, gear ratio, and many other unknown variables so i cant really anwer that question but i would go for 19turn if you need longer drifts and stock for smaller drifts but i would pretty much never run modified unless i get more grip for drifting

When I first started drifting, most people were telling me to go with a stock motor like a P2K2 Pro or a Monster. Now, people are starting to find that 19T Quad Mag motors are pretty good too - faster drifting with enough torque.

Don't go with a modified motor. You'll just be eating up your runtime. Plus those motors don't have enough torque.

I started off with a P2K2 Pro but I've moved onto a SuperSport 5800 brushless system. It just makes more sense to go brushless. No need for cutting comms or replacing springs and brushes. In the long run, you save alot of money.

yo henry

got my PM

thedudeaturdoor

what bodie does everyone run?

anthony390

any car body that you want but most people use rwd car bodies and thats what i do

thedudeaturdoor

yeah i knew that but i mean pics of what your running
and other things such as neon etc.

anthony390

OHHH sorry

so yea most people put blinkers, high beams and other lights(headlight and tail lamps... forget about the poser street racing style such as neon and speaker systems(fast& furous is POSER)

so yea but lets hear what other peple have to say

I'm not really intrested in drifting but im looking for info.

We have a indoor carpet track and there has been alot of drift intrest outside of our club. Probably 10 guys that hit the parking lots and other areas..

I would like to invite them to our indoor track to help our club grow as well as give them an oportunity to grow there drifting group. We have a huge indoor track thats available to them 7 days a week.

The question is what tires should we recomend they get to drift on carpet? And what initial setup changes should they make to there cars? Suggestions for motors?

PVC and ABS tires are not an option as they can damage the carpet if they hit boards and nik the edge of the abs/pvc tire. Also the club concensus is the track will only allow foam or rubber tires. YOKOMO rubber with rings is allowed since the sidewalls are rubber. and its thought they would be save on carpet

Really looking for input from guys that actually drift on carpet. Not suggestions as i already have a suggestions as to what might work but i really am looking for what will work. THANKS

anthony390

i dont drift carpet but i have before and i would drift either the yokomo drift tires or taped rubber tires and set the chambers to only 1 degree or 0 degree for either the front or rear as for toes all 0 or as close you can get them to

I would also reccomend taped tires.
