R/C drifting discussion - Rabster - 05-01-2018
(Edit by Steviewevie - split out a load of stuff about r/c drifting that span off (no pun intended lol) from Gord selling his Tamiya TL-01 r/c kit)
if its a TL-01 chassis you can remove the4x4 part and make it rwd i think

4x4 = good for drifting (in rc anyway)
R/C drifting discussion - is300_dino - 05-01-2018
yeah i think u only have to lock the rear wheels so they spin together and the front give steering and power i maybe wrong tho?
R/C drifting discussion - steviewevie - 05-01-2018
You definitely need to lock the rear diff, yes. You really need very soft springs though, most racing springs will be too hard so won't give you enough traction.
You want to be able to adjust the rear toe so you can have a reasonable amount of rear toe-in.

Don't put tape around your tyres though
hock: , proper drift tyres are much better and will last ages. I suggest the T-Drifts from HPI, that's what I'm going to be using. Although it means that my Tamiya Super Driftech drift tyres, plus Tamiya wheels, will be up for sale.The reason I'm using the HPI is two-fold. Firstly, I'm thinking of trying out for the D1RC UK Drift Championships (don't care if I come last, I just think it's a good way to learn), and you have to use those tyres in that event. Secondly, they're supposed to be good !

i would use the tamiya ones mate when your learning and you go to the car parks etc dont wanna screw up good tyres 1st

Have you seen the D-Box or drift gyro's Steve? looks a good bit of kit for when you first start drifting, as it helps to correct the steering so you don't keep spinning out, and as you get better at controlling it you turn it down so it's not so effective and your doing more of the driving :thumbup1:
