That's pretty awesome .... especially when they come around that long sweeping corner , you can really see them drifting .

That takes some serious control, I"ve done it some with my touring cars during practise just to mess around on carpet tracks but on pavement is really hard, I give them props.

you need to make you chassis more rigid by adding tension bars from your diff case to the chassis floor (front and rear)

hard rear tires/ medium front

hard rear springs/ semi hard fronts

short gearing

atleast thats what i remember from reading rccaraction 4 years ago hahaha, they had an article about it

but now, i think hpi racing sells a kit for drifting

if you can change the spring rate on the shocks, tire compound, and gearing, you should be fine

o yah, i forgot to mention you would probably want some thicker shock oil for slower dampening

I just got back from "RC Winter Nationals" tonite, which continues tomorrow, being held at our local track. I will try and get some video of the races and post it up, rc car racing is a fun arse hobby. Ive been doing it for 6 years now and it can be really competitive, but its a blast. www.rctrack.com

man 405robot, all of the titles on the threads you posted lately make you sound like you are in some deep depression, "this made me smile" and "a happy moment" like nothing good ever happens to you or something i duno, w/e, yeah

hahaha, nah, im quite happy

the video did make me smile, it was just cool

and well, finding out that my shocks were gonna get made was a happy moment

but i do have a broken tail bone, and cant ride, or ride my mountain bike, or physically demanding right now, maybe it was my mind on a sub-conscious level typing it

haha, nah, im getting to deep
